Circular and quasi circular paths for the industrial robots measuring with the Renishaw Ballbar QC20-W
Last modified: 16. 12. 2018
Abstract
Realized measuring with the Renishaw Ballbar QC20-W on industrial robots requires a special approach to measurement and creating of a circular path. In the article, two methods of the circular path creation are compared through experimental measurements. The first method is based on creating a circle using standard program commands in the Fanuc programing environment. In the second method, the circular path is created as a polygon that represents the most accurate approximation of a circle required for a Ballbar measurement. The measurement methodology, the analysis of measurement data and results are presented in the article.
