Abstract

This study deals with a two-degree-of-freedom special manipulator for tilting a set of a laser light source and a detector around two axes. Six sets of this manipulator is planned for feedback sensors to measure six-degree-of-freedom relative motions between a tool spindle and surface plate of a precision machine tool or a coordinate measuring machine. This report describes an outline of the laser tracking system and 2-degree-of-freedom parallel kinematic manipulator based on a parallelogram linkage. In this laser interferometry-based tracker, the detector head is required not to be rotated around the laser light axis to ensure distance measurement accuracy even when the head is tilted by actuators around x- and y-axes. Thus, such a parasitic angular motion was measured in experiments based on the motion capture device.
