Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the servo parameters and axis dynamics influences on the contouring accuracy for practical applications such as contouring control of manufacturing systems (robot, machine tool...). The analytical formulation of contouring error in the case of straight line, circle and corner crossing is derived using a simplified axis drive model including the main servo parameters and dominating mechanical mode. The effectiveness of the proposed formulation in estimating the evolution of the final contour error is demonstrated experimentally on a two-axis machine tool.
