Analysis of Random Factors Affecting Measurement Accuracy of Portable Coordinate Measuring Arm
Tóm tắt
To improve the measurement and calibration accuracy of Portable Coordinate Measuring Arm, it is very important to accurately identify the system and random errors of the measuring machine. From the kinematic error model, system errors can be identified during calibration. But identifying random errors remains a difficult problem. First, we use the SolidWorks software to analyze the structure of each joint. Second, CETOL 6σ tolerance analysis software is used to calculate the random error of the probe generated by the clearance of bearings in each joint. Finally, the random error due to the systematic uncertainty of the rotary encoder is calculated. The experimental results show that the total value of the random error due to the bearing clearance, the systematic uncertainty of the rotary encoder and the thermal expansion of the mechanical structure according to the temperature variation does not exceed 0.1112 mm. This value is theoretically the limit of the single point repeatability accuracy that can be achieved by this measuring machine. The use of the CETOL 6σ not only allows the design to be carried out scientifically, but also reduces production costs.
