Abstract
In this chapter, a new polishing/deburring machine developed at Ryerson University is presented. This machine consists of two subsystems. The first subsystem is a five-axis machine for tool/part motion control. The second subsystem is a compliant toolhead for tool force control. Both subsystems are designed based on the tripod principle. For motion control, a motion planning software package is developed that includes axis motion planning based on the tripod inverse kinematics; and tool motion simulation and part profile measurement based on the tripod forward kinematics. For force control, a parameter planning method is developed for planning tool pressure and tool spindle air flow rate according to the part geometry, based on the Hertzian contact model. A force control method is also developed that utilises the active compliance toolhead to deal with the parts with large geometry deviations. Two test examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed machine.
