A Multisensor Approach for Error Compensation in CNC Machine Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a comprehensive ANN based multisensor fusion approach designed to support the implementation of an adaptive error compensation of geometric, thermal and dynamic errors for enhancing the accuracy of CNC machine tools. Accurate and efficient model to perform on-line error prediction is an essential part of the compensation process. The proposed approach consists of the following major steps: (i) design of an integrated spatial-variant model describing the machine topology, (ii) measurement of path-dependent rigid-body errors according to the model, (iii) design of time-variant models for error components through sensors fusion, (iv) continuous monitoring of the machine conditions using position, force, speed and temperature sensors for one-line error components prediction and integration to produce a correction vector, (v) total positioning error synthesis and software compensation. Implemented on a turning center, the proposed approach led to a consistent model able to accurately and reliably provide an appropriate error identification and compensation under variable machine

Adjustment and Compensation Techniques for the Rotary Axes of Five-axis CNC Machine Tools
Five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools (three linear and two rotary axes) are ideally suited to the fabrication of complex work pieces, such as dies, turbo blades, and cams. The locations of the axis average line and centerline of the rotary axes strongly influence the performance of these machines; however, techniques to compensate for eccentric error in the rotary axes remai...

Since the thermal error modeling of CNC machine tools has characters of small sample and discrete data, the variable-weight combined modeling method was presented by integrating time series analysis and least squares support vector machines. Taking minimum sum of error square of prediction model as the optimization criterion, optimal weights in different time were calculated. Using grey GM (1, ...

متن کاملApplication of GNNMCI(1, N) to environmental thermal error modelling of CNC machine tools
Thermal errors are often quoted as being the largest contributor to inaccuracy of CNC machine tools, but they can be effectively reduced using error compensation. Success in obtaining a reliable and robust model depends heavily on the choice of system variables involved as well as the available input-output data pairs and the domain used for training purposes.
