Abstract:

A bran-new style coordinate measuring system with 3-PUU parallel mechanism and its advantages was proposed which could realize 3D measurement with only one linear grating and two precision guides. Firstly, measuring space with a 0.05mm error of structure parameter as target was explored based on 6 bars direct kinematics model, workspace and error model, and then the principle of maximum measuring space was presented to elaborate the relationship between measuring space and length of bar. Then in order to enlarge the scale of measuring space of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), improve the measuring accuracy and flexibility of CMM, the key dimensions and positional parameters of CMM were optimization designed according to the direct kinematics model and the principle of maximum measuring space. Finally the deformation of key components was processed by Finite Element Method (FEM) according to the motion characteristics and parameters of the new CMM prototype, so that the affect of deformation to measuring accuracy can be controlled and decreased. Results are shown that the measuring space of CMM is 1100mm in x axis, 535mm in y axis, 426mm in z axis; deformation of beam is the main reason to influence the measuring accuracy and should be offset after calibration.
