This paper focuses on the accuracy analysis in mobile robot machining, defining a tool center point (TCP) error index to evaluate machining error. The study enumerates different error sources affecting TCP error index and proposes a theoretical accuracy analysis to eliminate it. Results show that the force-controlled grinding head can compensate TCP error effectively, reducing it below 40mm during mobile robot machining.
Mobile robot machining provides more flexible machining mode compared to the robot machining with a fixed base. However, its machining accuracy is frequently questioned. This paper focuses on the accuracy analysis in mobile robot machining. To evaluate the machining error qualitatively, the tool center point (TCP) error index is defined as the distance between the TCP and the designed machining point. The different error sources acting on the TCP error index are enumerated, and the theoretical accuracy analysis is proposed to eliminate the TCP error. The mobile robot machining strategy is then proposed based on the accuracy analysis. To ensure high machining accuracy, the global measurement system locates the position of the workpiece and the mobile platform. The force-controlled grinding head is used to compensate the TCP error. Experimental results show that the TCP error during mobile robot machining is lower than 40 mm, which mainly introduced by the calibration of the workpiece. The force-controlled grinding head can compensate the TCP error and the fluctuation of the grinding force under the control is lower than +/- 2 N.
