Abstract: A unique methodology is proposed to identify the joint structural parameters of the machine tool by combining the Dynamic Data System (DDS) methodology with the Finite Element Method (FEM). The ...

Abstract: Fixture design is an important consideration in all manufacturing operations. Central to this design is selecting and positioning the locating points. While substantial literature exists in this ...

Abstract: Fixtures are used to locate and hold workpieces during manufacturing. Because workpiece surface errors and fixture set-up errors (called source errors) always exist, the fixtured workpiece will ...

Abstract: An error compensation system has been developed to enhance the time-variant volumetric accuracy of a 3-axis machining center by correcting the existing machine errors through sensing, metrology, ...
