Modeling and Control of Contouring Errors for Five-Axis Burak Sencer Ph.D. Candidate Machine Tools—Part I: Modeling Yusuf Altintas Professor, Aerospace, die, and mold industries utilize parts with sculptured surfaces, which are ASME Fellow machined on five-axis computer numerical controlled machine tools. Accurate path track- ing for contouring is not always possible along the desired space curves due to the loss Elizabeth Croft of joint coordination during the five-axis motion. This two-part paper presents modeling Professor and robust control of contouring errors for five-axis machines. In Part I, two types of contouring errors are defined by considering the normal deviation of tool tip from the Manufacturing Automation Laboratory, reference path, and by the normal deviation of the tool axis orientation from the reference University of British Columbia, orientation trajectory defined in the spherical coordinates. Overall contouring errors are Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada modeled during five-axis motion that has simultaneous translation and rotary motions. The coupled kinematic configuration and the rigid body dynamics of all five drives are co
