Abstract
En 中文
Five-axis continuous scanning inspection is an emerging technology in measuring free-form surfaces. Compared to the traditional three-axis scanning inspection, the five-axis continuous surface scanning tremendously boosts the inspection efficiency and suffers from less dynamic error due to adopting a special sweep scanning working mode, which lets the super-light and high-speed rotary two-axis probe head take over the majority of the inspection work. However, there has not been any efficient method to generate sweep scanning path for a free-form surface with external obstacle. The major problem is how to guarantee the non-interference condition during the scanning process. In this paper, a two-step algorithm for generating smooth and interference-free sweep scanning path is proposed. First, an image-based algorithm is proposed to incrementally calculate the admissible area of the stylus along the scanning path. Then an optimized B-spline fitting algorithm is proposed to find the optimal probe head trajectory within the admissible area, which simultaneously guarantees the smoothness and noninterference of the trajectory. In the real experiment, the average tangential velocity and acceleration of the machine's translational axes with the proposed five-axis sweep scanning path are only 16.45% and 17.19% of those with three-axis zigzag scanning path respectively. When inspecting a high-accuracy cylindrical surface with high scanning velocity, the root mean square of the surface profile error is 0.002 mm and 0.004 mm in five-axis scanning and three-axis scanning respectively. The experimental result manifests that the sweep scanning path tremendously helps to reduce the kinematic loads and the dynamic errors of the inspection machine.
