Fundamentals of Errors ME EN 7960 – Precision Machine Design Topic 2 ME EN 7960 – Precision Machine Design – Fundamentals of Errors 2-1 Accuracy, Repeatability, and Resolution ME EN 7960 – Precision Machine Design – Fundamentals of Errors 2-2 1 Accuracy • Accuracy is the ability to tell the truth or: – The maximum translational or rotational error between any two points in the machines work volume – Linear, planar, and volumetric accuracy can all be defined for a machine • Note: mechanical accuracy is far more costly than repeatability ME EN 7960 – Precision Machine Design – Fundamentals of Errors 2-3 Repeatability • Repeatability (precision) is the ability to tell the same story over and over again or: – The error between a number of successive attempts to move the machine to the same position – Repeatability is often considered to be the most important parameter of a computer controlled machine (or sensor) – Often the intent is to map the errors and then compensate for them • Minimize static friction, backlash, and thermal variants to get better repeatability ME EN 7960 – Precision Machine Design – Fundamentals of Errors 2-4 2 Resolution • Resolution is how detailed your story is – Resolution is the larger of the smallest programmable step or: – The smallest mechanical step the machine can make during point to point motion – Resolution gives a lower bound on the repeatability • Minimize static friction and use higher resolution feedback to get better res
