Abstract

Using automatic localization to ensure sufficient machining allowance or derive reliable evaluation results of machining quality, it is possible to cope with the case where the coordinate system in a part design specification is different from that for machining or measuring the part. To achieve workpiece localization and machining quality evaluation, it is essential to find the optimum Euclidean transformation that aligns the nominal mode to the sample points from a workpiece. This paper describes a unified algorithm for workpiece localization and quality evaluation. The optimum alignment model is firstly established with minimax criteria, and then sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is proposed to solve the optimization problem. A computational algorithm of point-to-surface distance and a linear differential motion model of the objective function with respect to alignment parameters are subsequently provided. The results show that the SQP-based workpiece localization and quality evaluation method is computationally more efficient than those based on direct search algorithms. It is found that the proposed method is effective in machining localization and quality evaluation even with a large set of sample points.
