VI. Dynamic positioning accuracy
To measure the dynamic tool tip
positioning errors, continuously move A-axis from 0 to +/-90 degrees back and forth 5 times at B = 0.
Repeat the same at B =
30 degrees and 60 degrees.
Continuously move B-axis from 0 to
+/-90 degrees back and forth 5
times at A = 0. Repeat the same at A = 30 degrees and 60 degrees. For a
complete measurement, repeat the above with
laser head at positions
1, 2, 3, and 4, and use the
2D time base to collect data
continuously. VII.
Measurement errors
of tool tip positioning measurement Laser system errors: 0.000010” Precision sphere: 0.000025”
Machine positioning: 0.000500”
Lateral coupling:
0.000070” (assume the maximum lateral
movement is less than 0.010” and 1.5” diameter sphere).
The largest error is
the machine positioning error 0.0005”.
Hence any improvement in the machine positioning
accuracy will improve the tool tip
positioning measurement accuracy.
