Abstract
Estimation and compensation of geometric errors for rotary axes are among methods to improve machining accuracy of five-axis machine tools. Studies have been conducted on various methodologies for estimating geometric errors for rotary axes, which are essential for improving machining accuracies of five-axis CNC machine tools. This paper presents a method for estimating geometric errors of a rotating/tilting table using a cross-shaped calibration artifact with a touch trigger probe. The proposed method includes rotary axes error estimation equations for angles of each rotary and tilt axis based on locations of probing points. Computer simulations were performed based on a MATLAB/Simulink and ADAMS cosimulation system using the probing cycle process to verify the proposed method. Computer simulation results confirmed the usefulness of the proposed method in terms of volumetric errors.
