Abstract
This paper proposes a complete and general method for mechanism error modeling. By analyzing the mechanism of error generation, it is clarified that the root cause of mechanism errors is the failure of mechanism constraints. The concept of Kinematic Error Node (KEN) is introduced as the basic unit for mechanism error analysis, along with the fundamental principles and methods for conducting error analysis using the KEN approach. A convenient and efficient method for drawing KEN graph is provided. through which the error model of the mechanism can be obtained intuitively and concisely via simple KEN graph drawing and recursive formulas. The KEN method is used to realize the error modeling of planar 3-RRR and spatial 3-RPS manipulator, and the error sensitivity of the two mechanisms is analyzed to verify the effectiveness of this approach.
