Thermal Behavior of an Ultra High-precision Linear Axis Operating in Industrial Environment

چکیده
Thermal expansion is the major source of inaccuracy for ultra high-precision robots. In this paper we propose a strategy to model and compensate this effect. The experiment is run using a 1 DOF (degree-offreedom) parallel robot equipped with ten temperature sensors; the displacements of the end-effector are measured using an interferometer. After a session of measurements the data collected has been processed using the stepwise regression algorithm. A model of the thermal robot behavior has been found and implemented in the robot controller. In this way it has been possible to compensate all the thermal effects, reaching an absolute accuracy of 10 nanometers.

Investigation of Wear Behavior of Biopolymers for Total Knee Replacements Through Invitro Experimentation
The average life span of knee prosthesis used in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is approximately 10 to 15 years. Literature indicates that the reasons for implant failures include wear, infection, instability, and stiffness. However, the majority of failures are due to wear and tear of the prosthesis. The most common biopolymer used in TKR is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Pr...

متن کاملModeling and compensation of cutting-forces generated during the EDM process for ultra high-precision robots
This work deals with the calibration of industrial robots operating at sub-micrometric precision. We demonstrate that the cutting-forces generated by the robot manufacturing process cause a significant deformation of the robot geometry, lowering its absolute accuracy. Then, we propose a way of studying and modeling such deformations, in order to compensate them during the robot usage. We have t...
