The Geometric Errors Identification of New Methods in Four-Axis Machining Center Axis

Abstract

A method for fast measuring and identify the six geometric errors of each rotary axes in Four- axis machining center was invented. The method adopted the ball-bar to measure the X, Y, Z direction deviations of the centre block installed on the rotary table in the different rotation angle. And deduced the geometric error identification model in rotary axes based homogeneous transformation, and then identify the axis of the six basic geometric errors. in order to reduce the influence of the inaccuracy of the ball-bar and the reference point position, this paper put forward new method based on the analysis of the sensitivity matrix method, used to guide rational distribution points, so as to improve the error identification accuracy.
