ボールねじ熱膨張のリアルタイム補正による位置泀め精度の向上（第2報):室温変動下の位置泀め誤差を”ゼロ”に補正

摘要

生産能率向上に伴うNC工作機械や産業用ロボットの高速rn送りが実施され，最近では90～100m/min.の最高送り速度がrn実施されている．これに伴う支持軸受部の発熱量およびボーrnルねじ・ナット間の発熱量増大による，ボールねじ熱膨張およrnび位置決め精度の低下への対策として，既に，スケール・フrnィードバックを用ぃたシステムがある．このシステムは位置rn決め精度は高ぃもののイニシャル・コストが高ぃ．%This paper deals with the improvement for Zero positioning error of machine tool element under room temperature change. During operation the temperature at fifteen positions of the hollow ball-screw is measured and input into the personal computer by the optical telemeter system. Based upon the temperature distribution of ball-screw, the present position of ball-screw nut obtained from CNC controller and the information of initial positioning error, the compensating quantity for Zero positioning error is calculated. The compensating quantity is fed from the PC to CNC controller, and the origin shift of machine coordinate is immediately executed. These measurement and control are repeatedly executed during operation, and the real-time compensation is realized. Only once the measurement of initial positioning error is needed. It is clarified that the positioning error of -8.4～+1.5μm is realized under room temperature change of 16.5～26.5℃ during 23.5hr operation.
