The rotation accuracy evaluation methods for the high-speed spindle of machining robots
High speed machining robots is designed for a number of high speed machining applications, the precision of which is one of the essential features. To increase precision of the robots, the study of accuracy evaluation methods is important. First, according to the demands for robots, key information of high-speed spindle of machining robots is determined, then it will be extracted by sensors and data acquisition card. Second, four different evaluating methods are introduced to assess the rotation accuracy, the results respectively solved by which are compared in detail. Furthermore, the particle swarm algorithm based on simulated annealing (SA-PSO) is introduced and theory analysis about the impact of simulated annealing factor is carried on to provide basis for giving the parameter better value. Finally, through the contrast between the evaluation results obtained by the proposed method and other optimization methods, the availability and precision of the SA-PSO is verified.
Minimum Zone Evaluation for Roundness Error Based on Geometric Approximating Searching Algorithm
Considering the characteristics of roundness error, a new method for roundness error evaluation in the rectangular coordinates, named as Geometric Approximation Searching Algorithm, is presented in this paper. The principle and steps of the algorithm are described in detail. The mathematical formulas and program flowchart are given. At first the algorithm allocates a square and predetermines the ideal centre point as the initial reference point. The radius value of all the measured points are calculated by each corresponding vertexes of the square respectively. After each vertex of the square and the initial reference point are used as the ideal centre point to calculate the roundness error, the minimum difference of the radius is obtained. The judgment and arranged square can be done repeatedly. Finally, the roundness error value of the minimum zone circle is determined. The experimental results show that the roundness error can be evaluated effectively and accurately by using this algorithm.
The measuriment of ferromagnets magnetic characteristics using Labview software
The digital method of measurement and registration of dynamic loops hysteresis family of magneto-soft materials where, along with known analogues from electro-technical steel, magnetic materials with considerably smaller specific magnetic losses such as amorphous alloys on the basis of iron, is offered. Tests of magnetic properties of materials are carried out on the base of the hardware-software measuring complex in which along with the standard established electric equipment and USB oscillograph for realization of a digital method, the software for the personal computer developed in the environment of visual programming of Borland Delphi 7.0, connected through the ActieveX technology with the Labview 7.0 environment, is applied. The software allows carrying out input of basic data concerning geometry of prototypes of cores from magnetic materials and numbers of rounds of the magnetizing and measuring windings located on their surface. Experimental data on voltage at measuring winding terminals are processed by means of the virtual integrator in a Labview package. The developed software provides the possibility of saving the obtained hysteresis loop in the form of a text file, and creation of the hysteresis loops family on the virtual oscillograph screen.
