Abstract
A novel and efficient fuzzy interpolation method is proposed to simplify the calibration process for parallel machine tools (PMTs). Either inverse or forward kinematic models must be used in the traditional PMT calibration methods to perform the identification and compensation of the pose errors for PMTs, which made the calibration process time consuming and inefficient in real applications. Instead of using a model, the proposed method presents a modeless technique combined with the fuzzy interpolation method to obtain high calibration accuracies when a small workspace is adopted. This new approach can significantly reduce the complex in traditional PMT calibration processes and greatly simplify the calibration procedures.
