Kinematic calibration of a parallel robot using coordinate measuring machine

In the applications of parallel robots, kinematic calibration is required to eliminate the errors resulting from the manufacturing and assembly. In this paper, a new method for calibrating a parallel robot is proposed. An error model for kinematic calibration is constructed using differential geometry method. All leg length information and pose error are obtained based on measurement results co...

Laser Tracker Calibration Using Coordinate Measuring Machine

This paper presents the achievement of a China NSFC project. A technique to calibrate laser tracker using CMM has been developed. A laser tracker with working range of 35m can be calibrated accurately and quickly using a CMM with working range of 1m. Studies have shown that angular errors are the key contributor to measuring errors of laser tracker. A device to measure angular errors of laser t...

a new method for measuring perforated surface by coordinate measuring machine (cmm)

nowadays cmm machines are widely used in surface measurement and inspection. as inspection results from cmm machine are obtained by the means of measuring surfaces with direct contact, they are more precise than non-contact method (like optical measurement). however, cmm machines give more reliable and accurate results rather than non-contact methods but also these results come with error when ...
