...Andrew Honegger; Shiv G. Kapoor; Richard E. DeVor Kinematic couplings have been used to create palletized system for part transfer in a microfactory. While kinematic couplings provide high repeatability, calibration is needed to achieve high interchangeability accuracy. In this paper, a generalized...

... and the spindle of an idealized column-spindle machine structure. The goal is to isolate and understand the effects of such joints on the machine tool dynamic performance. The nonlinear receptance coupling approach is used to evaluate the frequency response function, which is then used to evaluate the stability...

... in a stress-strain field will cause combined and coupled effects in the angular displacement and joint stiffness. Since both k i and Δ θ i are estimated from FEA under the kinematic constraint of PLM, the e Δ θ i and e k i are very difficult to be modeled...

... , and (iii) numerically very stable. The experiment results show that the proposed forward kinematic method is fast enough to be implemented in real time to provide an accurate prediction of the tool pose from the joint encoder measurement. 09 04 2004 04 04 2005 kinematics couplings bars...

...Tony L. Schmitz; G. Scott Duncan In this paper we present the second generation receptance coupling substructure analysis (RCSA) method, which is used to predict the tool point response for high-speed machining applications. This method divides the spindle-holder-tool assembly into three...
