We. Singhose et al., IMPROVING REPEATABILITY OF COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINES WITH SHAPED COMMAND SIGNALS, Precision engineering, 18(2-3), 1996, pp. 138-146
Performance of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is adversely effec
ted by structural vibrations. The effect of input shaping, a method of
reducing residual vibration, on the quality of CMM measurements has b
een investigated. Measurements of a CMM show a reduction of structural
deflection when input shaping is used. Additional tests indicate that
input shaping improves measurement repeatability over a large range o
f operating parameters.
