Positioning accuracies of computer controlled machines such as robots, CNC machines and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are of great importance to their operations. An estimation concept for quantifying the error parameters based on error indications from ball-bar testing is described. A preliminary simulation study was performed, and it has been concluded that the concept is feasible and is worth further investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
