It were researched that the modeling methods of machine accuracy and the control techniques of the error compensation based on BP neural network(BPNN) for parallel machine tool(PMT)with five degrees of freedom(DOF). The samples are obtained to train the BP neural network which has good capacity for non- liner mapping, learning and generalization. The machine accuracy mathematics model is established for the error compensation, in order to study the nonlinear input and output problem of the parallel machine which difficultly modeling described. The trained neural network was applied to error compensation of PMT to realize modifying errors real-timely. Finally, simulation analysis was performed through the MATLAB software. The results expressed that the control strategies for error compensation were simple, efficient and practicable. Machine accuracy can be increased greatly after compensation.

The Impact

In order to improve the 6-DOF parallel machine tool motion accuracy and reduce error, the impact of the error mapping for Structural Parameters of Parallel Machine Tool is analyzed. The fixing platform and the moving platform of 6-DOF PMT are linked by six variable-length rod with the kinematic pair (hooke hinge or hooke hinge). By changing the length of the drive rod, causing moving platform position and attitude change, a variety of motion can be simulated and emulated. If the cut tool is installed on the moving platform, the various surface parts can be machined, shown in Figure 1. The above figure shown, in order to obtain the moving platform trajectory, we need measure hooke hinge space position of the fixing platform and the moving platform[1]. There are 6 hooke hinges on the fixing platform and there are 3 parameters (x, y, z) on every hooke hinge. There are 6 hooke hinges on the moving platform and there are 3 parameters (x, y, z) on every hooke hinge. So a total of 12 hooke hinges positions (36 parameters) need be measured. Due to the actual processing, assembly and measurement error, the actual measured values and theoretical values for 36 parameters can not be a complete match and lead to the moving platform errors. This paper will study the 36 parameters on the impact of mapping errors. Firstly, the error mapping formula between drive rod and the moving platform for PMT is established, secondly the performance evaluation index of the error mapping is deducted, and then the relationship between 36 parameters and the error mapping index is established. At last, to the different types of PMT structures and structural parameters, the ideal structural parameters with the aid of the performance evaluation index are optimized.

Parallel Machine Tool

Though computer technology has brought about virtual manufacturing to expedite design and analysis through simulation and visualization, machines remain essential, as ultimately products need to be made. This paper presents a new type of 5-axis parallel machine tool based on a 3 degrees of freedom parallel platform manipulator with base mounted prismatic actuators. This machine tool is different from the Stewart platform type parallel machine tool in that its feed motion in X-direction is realized by the worktable on which work-piece is fixed and the parallel manipulator sliding on the gantry structure of the machine tool is responsible for the translation along Y-direction instead of the movable platform of the manipulator. Due to this special architecture, the workspace in X-direction and Y-direction of the new machine tool is enlarged greatly. And its rigidity is higher because of the adaptation of gantry structure. This machine tool is controlled by a PC based NC system in simultaneous 5 axes control mode.
