Study on the Method of Error Identification and Compensation for Gear Measuring Center

Abstract:

Gear Measuring Center(GMC) is commonly used to test error of the tooth surface of the gear, whose geometric accuracy directly impacts on the accuracy of measurement. How to quickly and accurately detect space geometric error of the measuring machine and compensate becomes the essential means of high-precision measurements. According to the problem above, in the paper, three-beams laser detection technology is proposed. The detection of the geometric errors of the linear axis was achieved. The accurate measurement for the position and attitude of the plane mirror on measurement seat was achieved based on laser telemetry principle. The positioning error, the pitching angle errors, the deflection angle errors and the straightness errors were separated. And then based on multi-body system theory, by using of homogeneous coordinate transformation, the error compensation model of 4-axis measuring machine which includes three shifting pairs and one revolute pair was established, and the algorithm was given in the paper. The theoretical foundation for real-time compensation of 4-axis GMC was established. The geometric errors of GMC can be improved by the method of the error detection and compensation. The method plays a very important role in high-precision measurements.
