Validation of Standards Interfaces for Machine Control

May 27, 1996
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski, William P. Shackleford, Sandor S. Szabo
Open architecture controllers offer a multitude of benefits to users of machine tools, robots, and coordinate measuring machines, ultimately reducing the life-cycle costs of installing, operating, and maintaining manufacturing equipment. Aside from those

Simulation and Implementation of an Open Architecture Controller

October 1, 1995
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, William P. Shackleford, Charles W. Yang
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a modular definition of components for machine control, and a specification to their interfaces, with broad application to robots, machine tools, and coordinate measuring machines

Controls and Sensors for Advanced Manufacturing

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor
This paper describes research into improving the performance of machine tools and robots. Techniques for improving accuracy, such as thermal compensation, automatic teaching, and force-based surface and edge finishing, are described. These techniques have

Sensor-Based Real-Time Error Compensation

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor
Machining accuracy can be greatly increased through the use of highresolution position sensors, calibration of machine tool or robot components, and other measures which serve to improve the machine¿s positional response to part programs. Unfortunately
