摘要
A real-time error compensation (RTEC) system is developed to correct thermally-induced and geometric errors on a four-axis dual-spindle turning center. These errors vary with different cutting tool positions as well as different thermal conditions, thus real-time correction is required. Two problems in the current RTEC approach are addressed: (1) the difficulty in the actual measurement of error components according to the defined coordinates and (2) the selection of a small set of appropriate temperature variables from numerous candidate thermal sensors on a machine structure. A flexible error measurement method and an optimal temperature variable selection process are proposed to overcome these difficulties. After machine errors were characterized and modeled, the effectiveness of the developed RTEC system was evaluated by using laser inspection and an actual cutting test. The maximal diagonal displacement error is corrected from 75.0 to 7.5 mu m. In the cutting test, the parr diameter error of a car steering joint is reduced from 60 to 10 mu m.
