Compliance error compensation in robotic-based milling
The paper deals with the problem of compliance errors compensation in
robotic-based milling. Contrary to previous works that assume that the
forces/torques generated by the manufacturing process are constant, the
interaction between the milling tool and the workpiece is modeled in details.
It takes into account the tool geometry, the number of teeth, the feed rate,
the spindle rotation speed and the properties of the material to be processed.
Due to high level of the disturbing forces/torques, the developed compensation
technique is based on the non-linear stiffness model that allows us to modify
the target trajectory taking into account nonlinearities and to avoid the
chattering effect. Illustrative example is presented that deals with
robotic-based milling of aluminum alloy

In robotic-based machining, an interaction between the workpiece and technological tool causes essential deflections that significantly decrease the manufacturing accuracy. Relevant compliance errors highly depend on the manipulator configuration and essentially differ throughout the workspace. Their influence is especially important for heavy serial robots. To overcome this difficulty this report presents a new technique for compensation of the compliance errors caused by technological process. In contrast to previous works, this technique is based on the non-linear stiffness model and the reduced elasto-dynamic model of the robotic based milling process. The advantages and practical significance of the proposed approach are illustrated by milling with of KUKA KR270. It is shown that after error compensation technique significantly increase the accuracy of milling.ANR COROUSS
Compliance error compensation technique for parallel robots composed of non-perfect serial chains
The paper presents the compliance errors compensation technique for
over-constrained parallel manipulators under external and internal loadings.
This technique is based on the non-linear stiffness modeling which is able to
take into account the influence of non-perfect geometry of serial chains caused
by manufacturing errors. Within the developed technique, the deviation
compensation reduces to an adjustment of a target trajectory that is modified
in the off-line mode. The advantages and practical significance of the proposed
technique are illustrated by an example that deals with groove milling by the
Orthoglide manipulator that considers different locations of the workpiece. It
is also demonstrated that the impact of the compliance errors and the errors
caused by inaccuracy in serial chains cannot be taken into account using the
superposition principle.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1204.175

Compensation of Tool Deflection in Robotic-Based Milling
International audienceThe paper presents the compliance errors compensation technique for industrial robots, which are used in milling manufacturing cells. under external loading, which is based on the non-linear stiffness model. In contrast to previous works, it takes into account the interaction between the milling tool and the workpiece that depends on the end-effector position, process parameters and cutting conditions (spindle rotation, feed rate, geometry of the tool, etc.). Within the developed technique, the compensation errors caused by external loading is based on the non-linear stiffness model and reduces to a proper adjusting of a target trajectory that is modified in the off-line mode. The advantages and practical significance of the proposed technique are illustrated by an example that deals with milling with Kuka robot

Thermal Performance of a Multi-Axis Smoothing Cell
Multi Axis Robots have traditionally been used in industry for pick and place, de-burring, and welding operations. Increasing technological advances have broadened their application and today robots are increasingly being used for higher precision applications in the medical and nuclear sectors. In order to use robots in such roles it is important to understand their performance. Thermal effects in machine tools are acknowledged to account for up to 70% of all errors (Bryan J. , 1990) and therefore need to be considered.
This research investigates thermal influences on the accuracy and repeatability of a six degree of freedom robotic arm, which forms an integral part of a smoothing cell. The cell forms part of a process chain currently being developed for the processing of high accuracy freeform surfaces, intended for use on the next generation of ground based telescopes. The robot studied was a FANUC 710i/50 with a lapping spindle the end effector.
The robot geometric motions were characterised and the structure was thermally mapped at the latter velocity. The thermal mapping identified the key areas of the robot structure requiring more detailed analysis. Further investigation looked into thermal variations in conjunction with geometric measurements in order to characterise the robot thermal performance. Results showed thermal variations of up to 13ÂșC over a period of six hours, these produced errors of up to 100ÎŒm over the 1300mm working stroke slow. Thermal modelling carried out predicted geometric variation of 70ÎŒm to 122ÎŒm for thermal variations up to 13ÂșC over a period of six hours. The modelling was 50% to 75% efficient in predicting thermal error magnitudes in the X axis. With the geometric and modelling data a recommendation for offline compensation would enable significant improvement in the robots positioning capability to be achieved

The report presents an advanced stiffness modeling technique for parallel manipulators composed of perfect and non-perfect serial chains. The developed technique contributes both to the stiffness modeling of serial and parallel manipulators under internal and external loadings. Particular attention has been done to enhancement of VJM-based stiffness modeling technique for the case of auxiliary loading (applied to the intermediate points). The obtained results allows us to take into account gravity forces induced by the link weights which are assumed to be applied in the intermediate points. In contrast to other works, the developed technique is able to take into account deviation of the end-platform location because of inaccuracy in the geometry of serial chains, which does not allow to assemble manipulator without internal stresses. The developed aggregation procedure combines the chain stiffness models and produces the relevant force-deflection relation, the aggregated Cartesian stiffness matrix and the reference point displacements caused by inaccuracy in kinematic chains. The developed technique can be applied to both over-constrained and under-constrained manipulators, and is suitable for the cases of both small and large deflections.ANR COROUSS
