Uma interface eletrônica e computacional para medições a três coordenadas / A electronic and computational interface for coordinate measurement

Marques, Alessandro 08 December 2003 (has links)
As Máquinas de Medir a Três Coordenadas (MM3Cs) desde sua criação evoluíram sensivelmente, entretanto poucas foram as modificações estruturais observadas. Hoje, para fabricantes de máquinas destacarem-se no mercado, são necessários grandes investimentos na busca de novos materiais estruturais e no desenvolvimento de programas computacionais cada vez mais versáteis. O sistema eletrônico e os programas computacionais utilizados durante as medições são inacessíveis e rígidos. Estes aplicativos normalmente não podem ser analisados nem modificados pelo usuário. São exemplos clássicos desta rigidez as características préestabelecidas pelo programa, ou métodos de ajustes utilizados na definição das grandezas. Este trabalho tem por objetivo exibir a interface eletrônica e computacional que quebra essa rigidez e permite a aquisição dos sinais das escalas da MM3C, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de novos aplicativos computacionais. O sistema foi aplicado em uma MM3C do tipo Ponte Móvel. Foi desenvolvido um programa computacional, MaqMed 2000, que utiliza os valores dos pontos coordenadas capturados no volume de trabalho da MM3C, e faz a compensação das coordenadas dos pontos utilizados, através das equações do Modelo Reduzido de Sintetização de Erros (MRSE). A avaliação da compatibilidade do dispositivo construído foi feita através do MaqMed 2000 em situações práticas. Foram tomados pontos no perfil de artefatos-padrão e os pontos ajustados através de duas rotinas, uma com e outra sem compensação dos erros. Os artefatos foram medidos em várias posições no volume da MM3C e averiguada a proximidade entre os resultados compensados e os não compensados, ao valor calibrado do artefato. O sistema desenvolvido permitiu compensar os erros em até 98% para compensação bidimensional e 87% para tridimensional. / Since the advent Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) have improved substantially. However, only a small number of structural modifications were observed. Nowadays, considerable capital expenditure is needed to keep CMM builders competitive. Most important research fields concern structural material and production of more flexible and versatile software. The electronic system and the software used during measurement with CMM are rigid and inaccessible and no user modification is permitted. Typical examples are the predetermined software features and curve fitting methods used on the magnitudes definition process. This research aims to exhibit an interface that copes with the system stiffness and enables signal acquisition from the scales of the CMM, allowing the development of new types softwares. The proposed system was implemented on a moving bridge type CMM. A program that uses the values of the coordinate points obtained from the CMM work volume was created. The software MaqMed 2000 performs the compensation of the coordinates of the used points by means of synthesized errors equations. Evaluation of the performance of the built device was carried out using MaqMed 2000 in practical situations. Data sets were collected along the profile of artefacts and fitted by means of two routines, one with error compensation and the other not compensated. Artefacts were measured in several locations in the whole volume of the CMM. The proximity between the compensated and noncompensated results with respect to the calibrated artefact value was examined. The developed system allowed for error compensation of 98% for bi-dimensional compensation and 87% for tri-dimensional compensation.

Validity of Linear Position Transducers Versus the Optotrak Certus 3D Motion Capture System

Unknown Date (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of linear position transducers (LPTs), The Open Barbell System (OBS) and Tendo Weightlifting Analyzer System (TWAS), in comparison to criterion measure Optotrak Certus (OC3D). Further, we aimed to compare LPTs against each other. Twenty-five resistance-trained males were recruited, and reported to the laboratory for one day of data collection. Subjects performed one-repetition maximum (1 RM) testing of the squat, then had a standardized rest before completing one set to failure with 70% 1 RM. There was no significant difference in average velocity (AV) between either LPT vs. OC3D. T-tests revealed significant differences between LPTs and OC3D peak velocity (PV) (OBS: p=0.02080; TWAS: p<0.01). A significant difference was detected between OBS and TWAS PV (p<0.01). OBS and TWAS demonstrated concurrent validity compared to OC3D for AV (OBS: p=0.2014; TWAS: p=0.5466). Neither LPT was a valid measure ofPV (OBS: p=0.0208; TWAS: p<0.01). / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Estudo dos erros cíclicos nas máquinas de medir a três coordenadas / not availalbe

Nakazato, Márcia Kimie 06 November 2003 (has links)
Os erros cíclicos nas escalas das máquinas de medir a três coordenadas (MM3Cs) exercem influência significativa nos resultados das medições efetuadas em comprimentos pequenos. Um dos fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência dos erros cíclicos é a acuracidade limitada dos métodos utilizados na fabricação de escalas. As MM3Cs utilizam escalas desenhadas e fabricadas por métodos fotográficos ou riscadas em máquinas tipo \"step and repeat\". Ambos os métodos produzem um erro sistemático entre traços sucessivos. Desta forma, a medida que o número de traços aumenta as parcelas do erro sistemático somam-se e quando atingem um determinado valor este erro é compensado. Esta correção é feita a cada distância cujo valor corresponde ao de um período cíclico de baixa freqüência e o processo repete-se até que toda a escala seja riscada. Outro fator que contribui para a existência dos erros cíclicos origina-se da resolução exigida pela MM3C, que é sempre bastante alta e ultrapassa as capacidades existentes atualmente para fabricação de escalas. O que se faz para lidar com o problema da resolução é subdividir eletronicamente o espaço entre traços consecutivos da escala. Esta divisão eletrônica está associada a um sinal seno gerado pelas franjas de Moiré. A digitalização e subdivisão deste sinal geram erros periódicos, também conhecidos como erros cíclicos de alta freqüência. Embora diversos erros das MM3Cs tenham sido largamente estudados, ainda hoje, não foi realizada uma observação sistemática para que se tenha a exata medida da influência dos erros cíclicos, na medição a três coordenadas. Para suprir essa necessidade e contribuir na busca de novos métodos de avaliação, este trabalho apresenta os procedimentos de medição dos erros cíclicos de baixa e de alta freqüência, bem como a aplicação de Análise de Fourier aos conjuntos de dados obtidos. A medição da distância entre as linhas consecutivas da régua móvel da MM3C também foi realizada e os resultados comprovaram a existência dos erros de fabricação, a ocorrência de compensação periódica e também sugeriram os erros de subdivisão eletrônica. Além disso, no levantamento dos erros cíclicos de baixa freqüência foi confirmada a existência de um período cíclico de quatro milímetros. / Cyclic errors in scales of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) have a significant influence in measuring results on a very small displacement hindering most of the measuring tasks. One of the factors that contribute to the appearance of the cyclic errors is the limited accuracy of the used manufacturing methods of the scales. CMMs use scales drawn and manufactured by photographic methods or marked in step and repeat machines. In both methods the distances between succeeding lines are prone to systematic errors and therefore, with the increasing of the number of lines systematic errors are added up. Error compensation is provided when the amount of errors reaches a predetermined value. The error correction made at predetermined lengths defines a period what one can call the low frequency cyclic error. This process must be repeated all along the scale. Another factor that contributes to the existence of cyclic errors originates from high resolution required by CMM that goes beyond the existent manufacturing capacities of scales. This problem is somewhat solved by means of an electronic signals splitting up. The electronic sign obtained as two consecutive lines on the scale is probed can be associated to a sine signal what is generated by Moiré type fringes. Digital conversion and electronic division of these signals also generate periodic errors and can be called high frequency cyclic error. Although several types of errors in CMMs have been largely studied,there is a lack regarding the cyclic errors. A huge need for a systematic study and observation of these errors is needed to permit an exact measure of its influence on coordinate measurements. To cope with the urgent need and to contribute in the search for new evaluation methods of the cyclic errors, this work presents a measuring procedure of low and high frequency cyclic errors and the application of Fourier Analysis to the testing data. Measurements of distances between consecutive lines of the scale were also obtained and the results have shown the existent manufacturing errors and suggested frequencies and period of errors of electronic division. A cyclic period of four millimeters was confirmed in the low frequency tests.

A Literature Review on Differences Between Robotic and Human In-Line Quality Inspection in Automotive Manufacturing Assembly Line.

Avvari, Ddanukash January 2021 (has links)
The advent of the industrial revolution has brought a great number of changes in the functioning of various processes in manufacturing industries. The ways and means of working have evolved exponentially with the implementation of advanced technology. Moreover, with the increasing technology, the customer demands have also been varying dynamically due to changes in customer requirements focusing on individual customization. To cope with the dynamic demand, manufacturing industries had to make sure their products are manufactured with higher quality and shorter lead times. Implementation and efficient usage of technology has provided industries with the necessary tools to achieve market demand and stay competitive by growing continuously. The transformation aims to reach the level of zero-defect manufacturing and ensure higher first-time right yield capability with minimum utilization of available resources. However, technological advancements have not developed the quality inspection process of the manufacturing industry at the same level as other processes. Due to this, the quality inspection processes are still human dependent which requires a highly skilled human operator to perform inspection procedures using sensory abilities to detect deviations. Research suggests that human quality inspection is prone to errors due to fatigue as the process is continuous, strenuous, and tedious work. The efficiency of human inspection is around 80% which becomes a chronic problem in safety-critical and high-value manufacturing environments. Moreover, with the increasing level of customization and technology, the products are becoming more complex with intricate shapes and only human inspection is not enough to meet the customer requirements. Especially in the case of automotive industry in Body in White applications, human inspection of outer body panels, engine parts with tighter tolerances alone does not make the cut. Advancements in the field of metrology have led to the introduction of Coordinate measuring machines (CMM), which are classified as contact and non-contact measuring machines. The measurements are performed offline away from the production line, using the sampling method. The contact measuring machines are equipped with touch trigger probe devices that travel all over the part to make a virtual image of the product which is time-consuming but accurate. Whereas the noncontact measuring machines are equipped with laser scanners or optical devices which scan the part and develop a virtual model which is fast but has accuracy and repeatability issues due to external factors. But coordinate measuring machines have proven to be bottlenecks as they were not able to synchronize with the production pace and could not perform aninspection on all the produced parts, which would help in collecting data. The gathered data can be used to analyse root causes and generate trends in defect detection. With the advancements in non-contact measuring systems, automotive industries have also realized the potential of implementing inline measurement techniques to perform quality inspection. The non-contact measuring system consists of a robotic arm or setup which is equipped with a camera, sensors, and a complex algorithm to identify defects. This provides the robotic arm with machine vision which is works by taking a series of images of the product from various and process these images to detect deviations using digital image processing techniques. The inline measurement has proven to be accurate, fast, and repeatable to be implemented in synchronization with the production line. Further, the automotive industries are moving towards hybrid inspection systems which capitalize on the measuring speed of the robot and the fast decision-making ability of human senses.

Greeff, Gabriel Pieter 03 1900 (has links)
MScEng / Thesis (MScEng (Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Accurate dimensional measurement devices are critical for international industrial competitiveness for South Africa. An overview of all the necessary components of a laser tracking system using a multilateration technique for very accurate dimensional metrology is presented. A prototype laser tracker station was built to further investigate this type of system. The prototype successfully tracks a target within a volume of at least 200 200 200 mm3, approximately 300 mm away from the tracker. This system includes the mechanical design of a prototype tracker station, electronic implementation of ampli cation and motor control circuits, a tracking control algorithm, microcontroller programming and interfacing, as well as a user interface. Kinematic modelling along with Monte Carlo analyses nd the main error source of such a tracker as the beam steering mechanism gimbal axes misalignment. Multilateration is also motivated by the results found by the analysis. Furthermore, an initial sequential multilateration algorithm is developed and tested. The results of these tests are promising and motivate the use of multilateration over a single beam laser tracking system. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit is van kritieke belang dat Suid-Afrika akkurate dimensionele metingstoestelle ontwikkel vir internasionale industriële medinging. 'n Oorsig van al die nodige komponente vir 'n Laser-Volgsisteem, wat slegs van multilaterasie gebruik maak om baie akkurate drie dimensionele metings te kan neem, word in hierdie projek voorgestel. 'n Prototipe Laser-Volgsisteem-stasie word gebou om so 'n sisteem verder te ondersoek. Die prototipe slaag wel daarin om 'n teiken, binne 'n volume van 200 200 200 mm3 op 'n afstand van omtrent 300 mm te volg. Die sisteem sluit die meganiese ontwerp van die sodanige stasie, elektroniese seinversterking, motorbeheer, 'n volgingsbeheer algoritme, mikroverwerker programeering en intergrasie, asook 'n gebruikerskoppelvlak program in. Kinematiese modelering, tesame met Monte Carlo simulasies, toon aan dat die hoof oorsaak van metingsfoute by so 'n stasie by die rotasie-asse van die laserstraal-stuurmeganisme, wat nie haaks is nie, lê. Die multilaterasie metode word ook verder ondersteun deur dié modelering. 'n Algoritme wat sekwensiële multilateratsie toepas word boonop ontwikkel en getoets. Die resultate van die toetse dui daarop dat die algoritme funksioneer en dat daar voordele daarin kan wees om so 'n metode in plaas van 'n Enkelstraal-Volgsisteem te gebruik.

The design, kinematics and error modelling of a novel micro-CMM parallel manipulator

Rugbani, Ali Milud 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The research presented in this dissertation establishes a micro-CMM parallel manipulator as a viable positioning device for three degree of freedom micro measurement applications. The machine offers the advantages associated with parallel kinematic manipulators, such as light carrying weight, high stiffness and no accumulation of errors, while avoiding some of the traditional disadvantages of parallel manipulators such as the associated effects of angular errors (Abbé error), singularity problems, work space limitation and the extensive use of spherical joints. In this dissertation, the direct position kinematic solution is developed analytically and the solution of the inverse position kinematic is solved numerically. A workspace analysis has been performed. A fully functional prototype demonstrator is fabricated to demonstrate this machine. While the demonstrator was not intended to achieve submicron accuracy, it was intended to validate the error models. Computer controlled measurement is developed and used to position the probe and to record measurements. A reliable kinematic error model based on the theory of error propagation is derived analytically. A numerical method is used to verify the analytical results. Comparison shows that the results of the error model, both analytical and numerical, represent a very good match and follow the same trend. The kinematic position model is validated using a conventional CMM. Results show that an average difference of less than 0.5 mm over a set of 30 points is achieved. This result of the micro-CMM demonstrator measurements falls within the error budget of approximately 0.75 mm estimated by the proposed analytical error model. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing in hierdie tesis vestig ‘n mikro-CMM parallelle manipuleerder as ‘n lewensvatbare posisioneringstoestel vir drie vryheidsgraad-mikrometing toepassings. Die masjien bied voordele geassosieer met parallelle kinematiese manipuleerders, bv. ligte dra-gewig, hoë styfheid en geen ophoping van foute nie. Die tradisionele nadele van parallelle manipuleerders soos die geassosieerde gevolge van hoekfoute (Abbé fout), enkelvoudigheidsprobleme, werkspasiebeperking en die uitgebreide gebruik van sferiese koppelings word vermy. In hierdie tesis word die direkte posisie kinematiese oplossing analities ontwikkel en die oplossing van die omgekeerde posisie kinematies word numeries opgelos. ‘n Werkspasie analise is uitgevoer. ‘n Ten volle funksionele prototipe demonstrasie-model is vervaardig om hierdie masjien te demonstreer. Die model is nie vervaardig om submikron akkuraatheid te bereik nie, maar eerder om foutmodelle geldig te verklaar. Rekenaar-beheerde metings is ontwerp en gebruik om die toetspen te posisioneer en om metings te neem. ‘n Betroubare kinematiese foutmodel gebaseer op die teorie van foutvoortplanting is analities afgelei. ‘n Numeriese metode word gebruik om die analitiese resultate te bevestig. Vergelyking toon aan dat die resultate van die foutmodel, beide analities en numeries, goeie pasmaats is en dieselfde tendens volg. Die kinematiese posisie model word geldig verklaar deur gebruik te maak van ‘n konvensionele CMM. Resultate wys dat daar ‘n gemiddelde verskil van minder as 0.5 mm oor ‘n stel van 30 punte behaal word. Die resultate van die mikro-CMM model se metings val binne die foutbegroting van ongeveer 0.75 mm geskat by die voorgestelde analitiese foutmodel.

Modelo reduzido de sintetização de erros para máquinas de medir a três coordenadas / not available

Zirondi, Renata Belluzzo 27 March 2002 (has links)
Desde sua criação por Ferranti, cerca de 50 anos atrás, as tecnologias de projeto e de fabricação das Máquinas de Medir a Três Coordenadas evoluíram muito. Entretanto, ainda é possível fabricar equipamentos livres de erros. Para garantir a acuracidade das medições realizadas é necessário que se conheça tais erros e que rotinas de compensação sejam implementadas. O levantamento dos erros de qualquer equipamento é feito através de procedimentos de calibração. Entretanto, devido à complexidade das MM3Cs, ainda não existem procedimentos internacionalmente aceitos, por usuários e fabricantes, para avaliar o desempenho metrológico desses equipamentos. Técnicas normalizadas existentes, a exemplo, JIS B 7440 de 1987, B89.4.1 de 1997, VDI/VDE 2617 de 1986 entre outras, propõem testes de desempenho que na maioria das vezes superestimam os erros da MM3C. Além disso, dificultam a rastreabilidade para quaisquer condições de medição diferente daquelas em que foi realizado o teste. Assim, diante do exposto, este trabalho tem por objetivo principal apresentar um novo modelo de sintetização de erros para MM3Cs, o Modelo Reduzido de Sintetização de erros. Este modelo possui equações de sintetização, para Ex, Ey e Ez, reduzidas, em comparação à outros modelos conhecidos, necessita de pequeno tempo na calibração o que reduz o custo desta atividade, possibilita o diagnóstico das fontes de erros e garante a rastreabilidade dos erros calculados. / Since the introduction of coordinate measuring machines by Ferranti in late fifties, the CMM design and manufacturing technology have enormously developed. Nevertheless, it is stile impossible to produce mechanical devices that are exempted from errors. In order to ensure measurements accuracy, it becomes necessary to understand such errors and establish compensation routines. The errors survey of any piece of equipment is performed by means of calibration procedures. However, due to the complexity of CMMs, there are not, until the present time, procedures that are internationally accepted by uses and manufactures to evaluate the metrological performance of this sort of equipment. Current standardized techniques, for instance, JIS B 7440 from 1987, B89.4.1. from 1997, VDI/VDE 2617 from 1986, among others, propose performance tests that usually overestimate CMM errors. Furthermore, they obstruct traceability to whatever measurement condition that is different from the ones used to perform the test. This being the case, the aim of this work comprises the presentation of the new error sinthetization model. This model deals with sinthetization equations for Ex, Ey and Ez that are reduced if compared to other known models, requires short calibration periods, reducing its expenses, allow the determination of the sources of errors and ensures traceability of calculated errors.
