Abstract
Geometric error measurement is crucial for error compensation and machining accuracy of CNC machine tools. However, traditional double-ball bar (DBB) method cannot be used for full-scale measurement of geometric errors due to the constant length of bars. In this paper, a full-scale measurement of geometric errors for CNC machine tools with high efficiency is carried out based on the double ball bar with a ball joint (J-DBB) method. Firstly, the principle of J-DBB is introduced. The J-DBB can be used for a full-scale measurement thanks to its freely measuring radius. Then, the equations of geometric errors which include squareness error, straightness error, roll error, pitch error, and yaw error of the axes are theoretically analyzed. In the end, we compared the theoretical trajectories of circular interpolation with the actual ones. The geometric errors between theoretical trajectories and actual ones can be measured and shown by J-DBB method. The results revealed that the J-DBB can be applied to conduct the full-scale measurement of geometric errors in CNC machine tools. Besides, the measurement range of geometric errors is extended from a two-dimensional circle to a three-dimensional sphere with a radius of 0.259L to 2L.
