Determination of Temperature Impact on CMM Residual Kinematic Errors Distribution

Abstract

In case of coordinate machines that use CAA correction matrix, the issue of kinematic errors analysis may be based on the determination of residual error distribution. Temperature changes have an impact on CMM kinematic structure, which may cause the differences in the map of residual errors. As for today, the residual errors were analysed only for the reference temperature. No research was undertaken on the residual errors changes depending on the temperature variations. This paper presents the experiment aimed at residual errors analysis and resulting errors distributions for different temperatures.

Determination of Calibration Sphere Parameters Influence on the Results of Articulating Probe Head Qualification

“…Nevertheless, there are still some areas to which efforts can be directed in order to ameliorate the CMM performance. One of the major difficulties is assurance of stable environmental conditions during measurements, the issue still largely unsolved in case of production lines and large industrial halls [3]. This problem is crucial for further development of in-process measurement realized using CMMs which would be a part of production line.…”
