Abstract

A comprehensive error compensation system has been developed to correct geometric, thermal, and cutting force-induced errors on a turning centre. The basic approach to error compensation is proposed in this paper. The implementation of error compensation control and of hardware configuration of the system are also presented. A total of 11 geometric and thermal error components and 10 cutting force-induced error components can be compensated for using this system. Performance evaluations have been carried out using actual cutting tests. Experimental results show that the diameter accuracy of the part has been improved more than 5 times and taper accuracy of the part has been improved about 5 times.
