Examination of the positioning accuracy of the machine tool with hybrid kinematics

Abstract

The intensive development of machine production in recent years has enabled the emergence of machine tools with parallel and hybrid kinematic structure and their integration into industrial production. Therefore, extensive research has been conducted in recent years to examine the exploitation possibilities of such machines and the justification of their application in certain areas of mechanical engineering. An important part of that research is the examination of accuracy and the possibility of calibrating machine tools with non‐trivial kinematics. The paper presents a part of the research carried out to determine the influence of the characteristics of individual machine components on the overall positioning accuracy of the machine tool prototype based on the O‐X glide hybrid mechanism.
