This paper presents an algorithm for identifying particular deviations such as angular deviations around linear axes relating to rotary axes in 5-axis machining centers. In this study, three kinds of simultaneous three-axis control motions are designed for each rotary axis to identify the deviations. In the measurement, two translational axes and one rotary axis are simultaneously controlled keeping the distance between a tool and a worktable constant. Telescoping ball bar is an effective instrument for measuring the relative displacement to the reference length in the work volume because its attitude is freely changed. In these three-axis control motions, the sensitive direction of the ball bar is kept constant. In order to determine the deviations, we derive eight equations from the relationship between the eccentricities obtained from the measured circular trajectories and the approximations derived from the mathematical model based on the simulation. In the simulation, a mathematical model considering the particular deviations is developed and then the characteristic diagrams are prepared for every deviation and every three-axis control motion. Based on the results, we propose a procedure for identifying the particular deviations in 5-axis machining centers and its procedure has been, applied to identify the deviations actually. From both the simulation and the experiment, it has been confirmed that the proposed method gives precision results and is able to apply to the measurement of 5-axis machining center which is a tilting rotary table type.
