Advanced technologies for the calibration of machine tools are presented. Kinematic errors
independently of their causes are classified into errors within one-axis as intra-axis errors …

For measuring machines and machine tools, geometrical accuracy is a key performance
criterion. While numerical compensation is well established for CMMs, it is increasingly used …

The volumetric accuracy of machine tools is represented by a map of position and
orientation error vectors of the tool over the volume concerned. Numerical compensation for …

Developments in large-scale engineering metrology since the 1978 report of Puttock are
reviewed. Advances in optical technology and fast, low-cost computation have led to wide …

This paper presents a novel approach for the mapping of geometric errors of machine tools
and coordinate measuring machines by a single tracking interferometer. The concept is …

In the actual production, it is expected to find several sensitivity geometric errors which have
great influence on machining accuracy, so as to provide references for the manufacturing …

A procedure for model-based calibrating 5-axes machining centers is presented. Machine
errors cause relative TCP deviations between a sphere and probing system that can be …

Inevitable machine motion errors change the cutting tool trajectory and degrade the
machined surface quality. Compared to the mature error measurement technologies …

At present, many areas of industry have strong tendencies towards miniaturization of
products. Mechanical components of these products as a rule are manufactured using …

Five-axis CNC machine tools are widely used in manufacturing of parts with free-form
surfaces. Geometric errors of machine tools have significant effects on the quality of …
