A Binocular Visual Measurement Method for Rotational Errors
Aiming at the problems of complex adjustment and limited outcomes of existing rotational error measurement methods
an absolute coordinate measurement method based on binocular vision is proposed to realize the accurate and synchronous measurement of the five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) rotational errors of precision rotary axes. A binocular vision system is adopted to capture the images of the target moving with the rotary axis
and the absolute coordinate trajectories of the target's spherical centers in the world coordinate system is accurately obtained through sub-pixel edge detection
least square center fitting and three-dimensional coordinate reconstruction. An evaluation coordinate system is constructed referencing the axis average line of the target
and a rotational error evaluation model for the absolute coordinate trajectory is proposed to achieve the quantitative evaluation of the rotational errors of the precision rotary axis. The results show that all rotational errors measured by the proposed method at different rotational speeds are in good agreement with those of the comparison method: the maximum measurement deviation of radial rotational error is 5.3 μm with a deviation percentage of 18.5%; the maximum measurement deviation of axial rotational error is 1.5 μm with a deviation percentage of 11.8%; the maximum measurement deviation of tilt rotational error is 0.004 1° with a deviation percentage of 8.1%. All measurement deviations fall within the estimated range of measurement uncertainty
indicating that the proposed binocular vision measurement method has high reliability. This research provides a solution for the geometric accuracy measurement of rotary axes.
