A computer-aided probing strategy for workpiece localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an optimal planning problem for workpiece measurement. Two sequential optimization algorithms are introduced to find maximum determinant solutions. Then, based on a reliability analysis of workpiece localization and the sequential optimization algorithms, a computer-aided probing strategy is proposed. With this strategy, given the desired translation and orientation error bounds and desired confidence limit, we can experimentally find the least number of points needed to measure. Simulation results show the efficiency of the computer-aided probing strategy.

On the Hybrid Workpiece Localization/Envelopment Problems
Hybrid workpiece localization/envelopment plays an important role in automatic setup of workpieces. In this paper, we de ne hybrid workpiece localization/envelopment problems to partially nished workpieces. We rst analyze symmetric properties of nished surfaces of a workpiece and con guration space. We localize the workpiece with measurement points from the nished surfaces so as to obatin a rep...
متن کاملINSTRUMENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Precision length measurement by computer-aided coordinate measurement
This paper gives a brief overview of computer-aided coordinate measurement as a method for testing the geometry of solid workpieces or components in mechanical engineering and similar fields. In contrast to conventional workpiece testing equipment, one can measure most kinds of workpiece with the coordinate measuring instrument as the only universal inspection centre. The principle is to measur...
متن کاملHigh accuracy NC milling simulation using composite adaptively sampled distance fields
We describe a new approach to shape representation called a composite adaptively sampled distance field (composite ADF) and describe its application to NC milling simulation. In a composite ADF each shape is represented by an analytic or procedural signed Euclidean distance field and the milled workpiece is given as the Boolean difference between distance fields representing the original workpi...
متن کاملGraphics-assisted Rolling Ball Method for 5-axis surface machining
In this paper, a graphics hardware-assisted approach to 5-axis surface machining is presented that builds upon a tool positioning strategy named the Rolling Ball Method presented in an earlier paper by the present authors [Comput. Aided Des. 35 (2003) 347]. The depth buffer of the computer’s graphics card is used to compute the data needed for the Rolling Ball Method, which generates gouge-free...
