    摘要: A method for calibrating a CNC machine including providing instructions for machining a surface of a distortion-free object, selecting a true axis of movement of a toolhead of the machine using the instructions, instructing the toolhead to travel on an object to be machined along the true axis of movement, but where the toolhead actually travels along an actual axis that is deviated from the true axis as a result of the surface distortions on the object to be machined, selecting multiple points along the actual axis traveled by the toolhead on the object to be machined, comparing the distance of the multiple points along the actual axis from the true axis to determine offset amounts from the true axis corresponding to a lack of straightness of the object to be machined, and modifying the instructions to compensate for the offset amounts before uploading the instructions to a CNC controller.

    摘要: A machine tool is controlled through a process incorporating the steps of (1) measuring geometric and thermal errors with accurate instruments, (2) creating a global differential wet model of machine tool position, and (3) using this model to control real time compensation of machine tool operation. A controller modifies encoder-type position feedback signals used by the machine to compensate for geometric and thermal errors in the manner dictated by the global differential wet model.

    摘要: A method for controlling a machine tool in which a main spindle on which a tool is mounted and a table holding a workpiece are moved relative to each other by two or more translation axes that are not perpendicular to each other and at least one rotation axis. In the method, an error in a position of the tool with respect to the workpiece due to a geometric error is corrected to calculate a command value for controlling the translation axis. The method includes a conversion step of converting the error and a correction value for correcting the error by performing a homogeneous coordinate transformation from a workpiece coordinate system to the imaginary Cartesian coordinate system, and a correction value calculation step of calculating a correction value in a command value coordinate system of the translation axis by performing a homogeneous coordinate transformation of the correction value.

    摘要: In a numerical control machine tool, the sliding errors are compensated by control means comprising: a position detector for detecting a current position on a first axis at all times in association with a first-axis position detector; a compensation data memory in which compensation data for a second axis corresponding to positions on the first axis have been stored, the memory outputting a compensation data corresponding to a position which coincides with a current position specified by the position register; a pulse generator means for calculating the difference between the current compensation data and the preceding compensation data and generating a pulse train proportional to the difference; an adder for subjecting to addition or subtraction the pulse train generated and a pulse train obtained by converting the output signal of a second-axis position detector; a pulse restoring means for converting the output pulse train of the adder into a signal similar in form to the output of the position detector; and a compensation control means for outputting as a position feedback signal for the second axis the signal outputted by the pulse restoring means, and for similarly processing the output signal of the second axis position detector to provide as a position feedback signal for the first axis the output signal thus processed.

    摘要: A machine tool has a carriage, has a workpiece carriage for carrying a workpiece from which material is removed by a tool carried by a tool carriage. A two-axis scale is attached to one of the carriages, and cooperates with a reading head attached to the other carriage. The output from the reading head is processed by signaling processing means to provide an indication of the position and/or movement of the carriages relative to each other and for generating positional data about one or both of the carriages to assist in controlling their movement in order to perform a machine operation. By directly measuring the relative positions of the two carriages, problems arising from, for example, distortions of the machine frame on which the carriages are mounted are at least mitigated. A preferred embodiment of the machine incorporates a second reading head attached to one carriage and incorporating the scale on another carriage so that the outputs from the two reading heads can be used to determine whether there has been any relative angular displacement of the paths followed by the carriages. There is also provided a method of determining the linear movement of one of the carriages relative to the other, and the machining process achieved using the machine tool.
