Compensation of probe radius is required for accurate measurement in metal working industry. Compensation involves correctly measuring data on the surface in the amount of radius of the touch probe with a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Mechanical parts with free-formed curves and surfaces are complex enough so that accurate measurement and compensation are indispensable. This paper presents necessary algorithms involved in the compensation of the probe radius for free-formed curves and surfaces. Application of pillar curve is the focus for the compensation.

Measurement and inspection of freeform surfaces are required in reverse design processes. In the case of surface measurement using a touch probe, probe radius compensation affects measuring accuracy. But current industrial practice depends upon an operator's experience to compensate for probe radius. In this paper, an on-the-machine measuring and inspection system for freeform surfaces is studied. Probe radius compensation methodology is investigated by modeling of B-spline surfaces based on digitized data. The accuracy and reliability of the developed system is verified through various kinds of numerical simulations and on-the-machine experiments.

This report presents an automatic measurement method of 3-dimensional profiles of free-formed surfaces, by using a touch a touch-trigger contact probe along with a conventional coordinate measuring machine. The method proceeds in three steps; The surface profile under consideration is traced by the probe in an automatic manner, and then its measured data is compensated by considering the actual probe radius. Finally the compensated data is rearranged in the form suitable for the further processings of CAD/CAM applications. Some experimental results are discussed to verify the validity of the method suggested in this study.

In the surface measurement system using touch probe, probe radius compensation is a key factor for accuracy. In this paper we investigate methods for compensating probe radius so that the surface equation for an "unknown surface" can be efficiently derived. The developed algorithm derives the surface equation by the iterative procedure of estimation, verification, and modification . Since the procedure is applied only for the surface region exceeding the tolerance limit, an accurate surface equation can be obtained with less computation and measurement point. The validity and effectiveness of the algorithm was tested by numerical simulations. The results convinced us that the develop algorithm can be used for surface measurement and tool path planning for NC machining.

접촉식 측정 프로브는 3 차원 좌표 측정기 및 CNC 공작기계 등에서 제품 검사에 많이 활용되고 있고, 최근 품질 향상을 위한 가공 및 검사장비의 고정도화에 따라 측정의 정확도도 또한 매우 중요시 되고 있다. 이에 따라 스트레인 게이지 등을 이용한 고정도의 측정 프로브가 사용되고 있기는 하지만, 본 연구에서는 경제적인 측면을 고려하여 산업현장에서 공작기계에 많이 활용되는 일반 접촉식 측정 프로브의 메커니즘을 이해하고, 측정 시 발생할 수 있는 프로빙 오차에 대한 분석 및 보정을 통하여 그 활용성을 높이고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 스타일러스 반경 및 중심 정렬오차가 규명되었고, 3 차원 공간상의 측정 좌표에서 프로빙 오차에 대한 해석이 이루어졌다. 이러한 오차들을 보정하기 위한 알고리즘이 개발되었으며, 실제 CNC 공작기계 상에서 기준구 측정을 통한 검증이 이루어졌다.

The paper describes and alternative method based on a new idea to measure the circular movement of machining centers. ISO has employed three testing methods for the acceptance tests of machine tools; the first is a rotating one-dimensional probe method, the second is a two-dimensional probe and a master circular ring, and the third is a kinematic ball bar. The last two methods were proposed and introduced by W. Knapp and J. B. Bryan, respectively. The newly developed method is superior to above two methods; the rotating angle can be detected and the rotating radius is variable. Circular movement errors of machining centers were investigated by the analysis of data measured by R- .THETA. method. Followint observations are obtained 1) The errors which depend on positions, i.e., periodical errors by the pitch of ball screws, errors by compensation of backlash and errors by perpendicularity of X and Y-axis, were analyzed. 2) The errors which depend on NC control system, i.e., errors by the unbalance of position-loop-gaians, errors by velocity-loop-gains and errors by feed speeds, were quantiatively analyzed. 3) The method of extracting error information, which uses moving technique of averaging angle and fourier's analysis data mesured by the R- .THETA. method, was proposed.
