“…Many methods have been proposed to evaluate the performance of the AACMM calibration, including ASME B89.4.22-2004 standard [25], ISO 10360-12 standard [26], VDI/VDE 2617 9:2009 standard [27] and a rapid verification method proposed by EI Asmai et al [28,29]. In this work, two verification tests for the AACMM calibration are chosen, including the single-point test based on the ASME B89.4.22-2004 and length test based on the ISO 10360-12.…”

An articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM) is a kind of instrument used to test workpieces in the industrial field, and its measurement uncertainty depends on the on-site environmental factors to a certain extent. If there is a problem with the AACMM during on-site testing, it needs to be re-calibrated to ensure the measurement uncertainty. In this work, a fast on-site calibration method of the AACMM is proposed using a high-precision CNC machine tool. The AACMM is fixed on the machine tool table. A calibration artifact is clamped on the machine tool spindle. This calibration artifact could move to any point in the global space of the AACMM along with the operation of the spindle. Then, a virtual calibration artifact with calibration points is achieved using the CNC machine tool. The positions of these points are calculated by the improved Hammersley sequence. The calibration method using a high-precision CNC machine tool is experimentally verified through the single-point articulation performance test of ASME B89.4.22-2004 and the length measurement test of ISO 10360-12. The calibration method proposed in this work only uses an on-site high-precision CNC machine tool, one of the common machines in many industrial fields, as the calibration instrument for the AACMM calibration. No extra equipment is required, which is convenient and beneficial to calibrate the AACMM. And the CNC machine tool could construct different kinds of virtual structures for the AACMM calibration, such as virtual rods, virtual circles, virtual balls, and even non-uniform three-dimensional artifacts with complex curved surfaces. This may arouse many novel calibration methods and further improve the calibration accuracy.

“…Although performance verification of CMS is a widely discussed issue in literature, finding works that analyze in depth what conducting a performance test means is hard. Most of the proposed works, like those proposed by Hope and Blackshaw [3], Neuschaefer-Rube et al [4], Acko et al [5], Moroni et al [6], and El Asmai et al [7] deal with the definition of the artifacts to use for performance verification. Accurate artifacts are fundamental for effective performance verification.…”

“…As a kind of modern critical test instrument, the articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM) is widely utilized in production and our daily life. It plays an important role in various fields, such as measurement, transportation, assembly, detection, spraying, aeronautics and astronautics, mechanical manufacturing, etc [1][2][3]. Specifically, the AACMM records the rotational angles of each joint so that the coordinate of the probe tip is naturally computed by the transformational function from the rotational angles to the coordinate of the probe tip of the AACMM [1][2][3] during the test process.…”

As shown in figure 1, the AACMM is composed of a base, two linkages, three pairs of rotational joints, a probe, and other related components, whose own special physical properties enable it to outperform the traditional coordinate measuring machine (CMM) [4] in some areas.…”

For the sake of increasing the precision and decreasing the movement uncertainty of articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM), a calibration method is proposed in this paper, where the accuracy of single point repeatability and volumetric accuracy (indicated by distance precision) are simultaneously considered. Considering the good ability of global exploiting and local exploring granted by chicken swarm optimization (CSO) and tabu search (TS) respectively, the CSO and TS are hybridized to construct the tabu searching-based chicken swarm optimization (TSCSO). To help the TSCSO jump out of the local optimal area when it is trapped in it, a transformational criterion of convergence precision is designed to integrate TSCSO with simulated annealing (SA) to formulate the hybrid algorithm called tabu searching-based chicken swarm optimization with simulated annealing (TSCSO-SA) who simultaneously possesses the good abilities of global exploiting, local exploring, and jumping out of the local optimal area when the population is trapped in it. Moreover, the calibration experiments are conducted based on the accuracy of single point repeatability and volumetric accuracy to verify the effectiveness, efficiency, and suitability of the method and algorithm used in this paper. The results of the experiments and verifications show that the precision and movement uncertainty of AACMM are immensely increased and decreased respectively, furtherly revealing that the method and algorithm proposed in this paper are able to calibrate the structural parameters of AACMM effectively, efficiently, and suitably.
