A Machining Error Compensation Method Using on-Machine Profile Measurement in 3-Axis Aspheric Grinding

Abstract

The causes of machining errors are very complicated and apt to mutual influence in aspheric grinding, so it is difficult to improve machining accuracy by control one cause. To compensate the machining error of large aspheric grinding, an error-compensation technique using on-machine profile measurement system in three axes grinding machine are presented. To verify the effectiveness of the compensation machining and the reliability of the measurement system, experiments on high-precision grinding machine were performed. Moreover, the compensation machining with the on-machine measurement substantially decreases the machining errors and improve machining accuracy by more than 45%, compared with the non-compensation machining.
