Abstract

A calibration method is presented to enhance the static accuracy of a parallel kinematic machine tool by using a coordinate measuring machine and a laser tracker. According to the established calibration model and the calibration experiment, the factual 42 kinematic parameters of BKX-I parallel kinematic machine tool are obtained. By circular tests the comparison is made between the calibrated and the uncalibrated parameters and shows that there is 80% improvement in accuracy of this machine tool.
