Error Modeling and Analysis of Articulated Arm Coordinate Measuring Machines

Abstract:

The Articulated Arm Coordinate Measuring Machine (AACMM) is a new type of non-orthogonal system precision instrument with the advantages of large measuring range, small volume, low weight and portability. To improve the measurement accuracy of AACMMs, an error analysis and calibration method for AACMMs is proposed. The kinematic model of the AACMM was established with D-H model, and then the error model of the AACMM was established on the basis of kinematic model with total differential transforming method and the singular value decomposition of Jacobian matrix and the decomposition of orthogonal matrix elementary row transform. Finally, the error model was validated by position error residual calculation. The error model provides a theoretical foundation for calibration and compensation of the AACMM.
