Abstract
Force sensor integration into machine components is a promising approach to measure spatial process forces, especially, when regarding hexapod structures and kinematics. Rigid still-standing hexapod frameworks, such as clamping tables, are particular suitable for this approach, as no dynamic influences need to be taken into account within the measurement model and they allow a measurement in 6 degrees of freedom. On the other hand, the stiffness of rigid frameworks is reduced by force sensor integration significantly. In addition, many approaches apply joints or flexure hinges to reduced lateral forces and improve the measuring quality, which reduce the stiffness even more. In this contribution, the compliance of a clamping table with integrated force sensors and flexure hinges is determined by experimental measurements using a multiline laser interferometer, by analytic calculation, and by finite element simulation. In conclusion, the amount of stiffness reduction by force sensors and flexure hinges is quantified and different methods for compliance determination are compared.
期刊介绍:
ournal of Machine Engineering is a scientific journal devoted to current issues of design and manufacturing - aided by innovative computer techniques and state-of-the-art computer systems - of products which meet the demands of the current global market. It favours solutions harmonizing with the up-to-date manufacturing strategies, the quality requirements and the needs of design, planning, scheduling and production process management. The Journal'' s subject matter also covers the design and operation of high efficient, precision, process machines. The Journal is a continuator of Machine Engineering Publisher for five years. The Journal appears quarterly, with a circulation of 100 copies, with each issue devoted entirely to a different topic. The papers are carefully selected and reviewed by distinguished world famous scientists and practitioners. The authors of the publications are eminent specialists from all over the world and Poland. Journal of Machine Engineering provides the best assistance to factories and universities. It enables factories to solve their difficult problems and manufacture good products at a low cost and fast rate. It enables educators to update their teaching and scientists to deepen their knowledge and pursue their research in the right direction.
