The principal control structure of CNC machine tools and industrial robots is similar, since in both systems each axis of motion is separately controlled with a position feedback loop. Nevertheless, the control of robots is more complex, since they include more degrees of freedom and the motion of each joint is not independent of other joints. This paper compares the conventional control schemes of both systems, and summarizes recent developments in adaptive control of machine tools and robots.

Error compensation technology offers a significant means for improving the geometric accuracy of CNC machine tools (MTs) as well as extending their service life. Measurement and identification are important prerequisites for error compensation. In this study, a measurement system, mainly composed of a self-developed micro-angle sensor and an L-shape standard piece, is proposed. Meanwhile, a stepwise identification method, based on an integrated error model, is established. In one measurement, four degrees-of-freedom errors, including two-dimensional displacement and two-dimensional angle of a linear guideway, can be obtained. Furthermore, in accordance with the stepwise identification method, the L-shape standard piece is placed in three different planes, so that the measurement and identification of all 21 geometric errors can be implemented. An experiment is carried out on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to verify the system. The residual error of the angle error, translation error and squareness error are 1.5″, 2 μm and 3.37″, respectively, and these are compared to the values detected by a Renishaw laser interferometer.

Based on the prior work on the six degrees of freedom (6DOF) motion errors measurement system for linear axes, and for the different types of machine tools and different installation methods, this study used a ray tracing idea to establish the measurement models for two different measurement modes: (1) the measurement head is fixed and the target mirror moves and (2) the target mirror is fixed and the measurement head moves. Several experiments were performed on the same linear guide using two different measurement modes. The comparative experiments show that the two measurement modes and their corresponding measurement models are correct and effective. In the actual measurement process, it is therefore possible to select the corresponding measurement model according to the measurement mode. Furthermore, the correct motion error evaluation results can be obtained.

Renishaw Ballbar QC20–W is primarily intended for diagnostics of CNC machine tools, but it is also used in connection with industrial robots. In the case of standard measurement, when the measuring plane is parallel to the robot base, not all robot joints move. The purpose of the experiments of the present article was to verify the hypothesis of the motion of all the robot joints when the desired circular path is placed on an inclined plane. In the first part of the conducted experiments is established hypothesis is confirmed, through positional analysis on a simulation model of the robot. They are then carried out practical measurements being evaluated the influence of individual robot joints to deform the circular path, shown as a polar graph. As a result, it is found that in the case of the robot used, changing the configuration of the robot arm has the greatest effect on changing the shape of the polar graph.
