A geometric error of machine parts is one of the most important factors that affect the accuracy of positioning, generating and measuring for precision machinery. It is known that the thermal deformation of a workpiece during surface grinding is the most important in the geometric error of ground surface. This paper experimentally describes the grinding characteristics of creep-feed grinding. The wheels have 6 slotted pieces in order to compare the grinding temperature with the geometric.

Thermal deformation causes large amount of machine tool errors. In order to compensate for thermal and geometric errors of the machine tool an off-line geometric adaptive control (GAC) scheme was developed. THe GAC method was realized by using a measuring plate made of precision spheres. Error vectors and volumetric errors were measured by the measuring plate. Error compensation models were obtained from error vectors and a kinematic chain of machine tools. Reliability of the GAC system of thermal and geometric errors were confrimed by large amount of experiments.

In heavy grinding that is on of the high efficient grinding method, meaningful deformation is generated by high temperature. So, after machining, geomeric error generated od the workpiece. The most important factor on the geometric error is temperature difference between upper layer and lower layer (T $_{d}$) . Relations between Td and grinding condition and maximum geometric error and grinding condition are obtained by experiment. This relations are used in fuzzy algorithm for improvement geometric accuracy. The main results are follows : (1) The linear relation between maximum geometric error and grinding condition is ovtained by experiment. (2) The linear relation between maximum temperature difference between upper layer and lower layer and grinding condition is ovtained by experiment. (3) Control peth of wheel for improvement geometric accuracy is obtained by using the fuzzy algorithm.m.

To quickly determine the effect of the substitute component on the machine's performance is very important in the design and manufacturing processes. And minimizing machine cost and maximizing machine quality mandate predictability of machine accuracy. In this study, in order to evaluate the effects of the component's geometric errors and dimensions on the machining accuracy of gantry-type 5-axis machining centers, a geometric error analysis and virtual manufacturing system are developed based on the mathematical model for the shape generation motion of machine tool considering the component's geometric errors and dimensions, the solid modeling techniques and so on.

Although laser interferometer measurement system has advantages of measurement range and accuracy, it has some disadvantages when measurement of multi degrees of freedom of motion are required. Because the traditional error measurement methods for geometric errors (two straightness and three angular errors) of a slide of machine tools measures error components one at a time. It may also create an optical path difference and affect the measurement accuracy. In order to identify and compensate for geometric errors of a moving rigid body in real time processes, an on-line error measurement system for simultaneous detection of the five error components of a moving object is required. Using laser alignment technique and some optoelectronic components, an on-line measurement system with 5 degrees of freedom was developed for the geometric error detection in this study Performance verification of the system has been performed on an error generating mechanism. Experimental results show the feasibility of this system for identifying geometric errors of a slide of machine tools.

One of the major limitations of productivity and quality in metal cutting is the machining accuracy of machine tools. The machining accuracy is affected by geometric and thermal errors of the machine tools. Therefore, a key requirement for improving te machining accuracy and product quality is to reduce the geometric and thermal errors of machine tools. This study models geometric error for error analysis and develops on-machine measurement system by which the volumetric erors are measured. The geometric error is modeled using form shaping function(FSF) which is defined as the mathematical relationship between form shaping motion of machine tool and machined surface. The constant terms included in the error model are found from the measurement results of on-machine measurement system. The developed on-machine measurement system consists of the spherical ball artifact (SBA), the touch probe unit with a star type stylus, the thermal data logger and the personal computer. Experiments, performed with the developed measurement system, show that the system provides a high measuring accuracy, with repeatability of ${\pm}2{\mu}m$ in X, Y and Z directions.

Accuracy of a machined part is determined by the relative motion between the cutting tool and the workpiece. One of the important factors which affects the relative motion is the geometric errors of a machine tool. In this study, firstly, geometric errors are measured by laser interferometer, and the positioning error of each control point selected uniformly on the control surface CAD model can be estimated from th oirm shaping model and geometric error data base. Where a form shaping function is derived from the link of homogeneous transformation matrix. Secondly, control points are shifted to the estimated amount of positioning errors. A new control surface is modeled with NURBS(Non Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface approximation to the shifted control points. By generating tool paths to the redesigned control surface, we reduce the machining error quite.

The objective of this research is to develop a measurement error model for sculptured surface in On-Machine Measurement(OMM) process based on a closed-loop configuration. The geometric error model of each axis of a vertical CNC machining center is derived using a 4$\times$4 homogeneous transformation matrix. The ideal locations of a touch-type probe for the sculptured surface measurement are calculated from the parametric surface representation and X-, Y- directional geometric errors of the machine. Also the actual coordinates of the probe are calculated by considering the pre-travel variation of a probe and Z-directional geometric errors. Then, the step-by-sep measurement error analysis method is suggested based on a closed-loop configuration of the machining center including workpiece and probe errors. The simulation study shows the simplicity and effectiveness of the proposed error modeling strategy.

For measuring the error motion of ultra-precision spindle, eliminating the geometric errors is a must. Unless it is achieved, geometric errors will be dominant in data. Here, the roundness error and alignment error between spindle and sensor are to be removed. That's because typical error range of such spindle is muchless than geometric one. A capacitive transducer of cylidricalshape was developed, which takes full advantage of the spatial-averaging effect by using large area compared tpo the geometric error. This idea was first proposed by Chapman and here it is modified for better performance with nomical gap of 50 .mu. m and with newly designed guards which encompass the respective sensor to rectify the electrical field distribution in good shape. The measurement system is made to get the orbit of Ultra-Precision Air Spindle which is supposed to have its runout under 1 .mu. m. The Calibration data of this sensor is presented and the spindle orbit from 2000rpm to 5500rpm is showed. It is quite reasonable to use this sensor in the range of 60 .mu. m with an accuracy of several tens of nm.
