Virtual Lamdamap 14th International Conference & Exhibition
Tutorial: Metrology of machine tools and industrial robots geometry and compliance
Wednesday 10th March 2021
Time: 09:00 – 11:30 (CET)
The tutors are Prof. Andreas Archenti, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, SE and Prof. René Mayer, École Polytechnique de Montréal, CA
The pursuit to shape the world of tomorrow relies on the performance of advanced manufacturing machinery such as machine tools and industrial robots. Metrology is essential to continuously identify and improve their characteristics, guarantee operational performance at all time and support the digitization of the industries.
This tutorial will cover the indirect measurement of geometric error addressing the methods, uncertainty, thermal dependence and compensation. It will also cover compliance testing and its use for the compensation of machine tools and industrial robots.
Keywords: Machine tool, Industrial robot, errors, compliance

Biography:
Andreas Archenti is chair professor in industrial dependability focusing on precision engineering and metrology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He received his M.S. (2007) in Mechanical Engineering, and PhD (2011) in machine and process technology, and was appointed docent (2014) in precision manufacturing and metrology at KTH. From 2018 he is dividing his time between at the newly established research group at the department of Sustainable Production Development (KTH Södertälje campus) and research at the department of Production Engineering (KTH Valhallavägen campus in Stockholm).
Main Activities:
Main research interests are in design and characterization of precision machinery and metrological instruments, the development of novel methods for machine tool testing and robot calibration and diagnostics, prognostics and health management of machinery
