Abstract:To solve the dynamic virtual axis machine tool spindle positioning on the platform, a method is presented based on the improved consistency of multi-sensor data fusion virtual axis machine tool positioning, visual technology and electronic compass used in the measurement of the position and orientation of the virtual axis machine tool moving platform. This method is the virtual axis machine tools of each rod of the encoder information, visual information and the dynamic inertial measurement data fusion, obtained by dynamic calculation of the confidence distance relationship matrix, the position and attitude of the virtual axis machine tool moving platform (pose) the precise positioning of a good guarantee. After a simplified test of the direction of movement of a single axle measurement, the measurement of the virtual axis machine tool 6 degrees of freedom of the moving platform pose as the object of study, and its simulation test. The test results show that the proposed positioning method is feasible, effective, and practically significant.
