1、A new method and instrument for measuring circular motionerror of NC machine toolsAbstractA new method and instrument for measuring circular motion error of numerical control (NC) machine tools are described in this paper. The instrument consists of a linear displacement transducer bar with two ball

2、s at each end and a high accuracy rotary encoder. The radius variations are detected by the transducer and the rotation angle of the bar is measured by the rotary encoder while the machine is moving in a circular path. The measuring area is circular except for a small area around the center of the d

It is shown by the experimental results that the instrument has good repeatability and high precision of measuring c

IntroductionIn recent years, the precision machining process has attracted much attention from numerous investigators. One of its important ta

Current techniques have the ability to measure parametric error function for each of the machines axes, for instance, the positioning and linear motion accuracy. However, it is still difficult t

In (1) and (2), there is limitation by its own stranded disk accuracy. High accuracy can be obtained by (3) but only in the radius d

KGM circular test system, also called cross-grid encoder, has an excellent performance, but it is very costly and the b

Moreover, this method is simple and convenient in practical application, while the instrument is of a compact structure with low cost.2. Outline of the measurement instrumentA schematic

13、diagram of the presented prototype measurement instrument is shown in Fig. 1. This instrument consists of a linear transducer bar with two balls at each endof the bar similar to DBB and a rotary encoder, which is set at root end of ball 1 to detect rotation angles of the bar. Ball 2 is connected to

14、machine tool spindle by ball holder. The base of the instrument is fixed on table of an NC machine tool to be measured, for example, xy stage of the machine center. The rotation plane of the linear transducer bar is parallel to xy plane of the machine table andperpendicular to the rotation axis of t

15、he spindle. The measuring coordinate frame can be set as that the rotation axis of the encoder on the root of ball 1 is defined as the zaxis, which is parallel to the rotation axis of the spindle denoted as Z. The x and y axes are set to be parallel respectively to the machine tool and denoted as X,

16、 Y, so thexy plane is located on the rotation plane of the linear transducer bar.Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of the prototype measurement.3. Principle of the measurement methodIn order to avoid the velocity lag of the axis servo, which always cause the actual point dropping behind the commanded point in machine moving, machine must beprogrammed to move in such a way that a point P(xi,yi) is moved along a circle and stopped at an
