Error determination method and device for five-axis hybrid machine tool
By constructing a tool pose coordinate matrix and using a double non-uniform rational B-spline model, the motion error and contour error are distinguished, and error compensation is performed using a cross-coupled controller. This solves the problem of inaccurate error assessment in five-axis hybrid machine tools and improves machining accuracy and control accuracy.

AI Technical Summary
In the machining process of a five-axis hybrid machine tool, existing technologies struggle to accurately estimate contour errors, leading to inconsistencies between error assessment results and actual workpiece surface deviations. Furthermore, the lack of uniformity in the dimensions of tool position information complicates error analysis and control.
The tool pose coordinate matrix of a five-axis hybrid machine tool is constructed, and combined with the double non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) model, the theoretical and actual tool trajectories are obtained respectively. The follow-up error and the contour error are clearly distinguished, and error compensation is performed through a cross-coupled controller.
This enables a more accurate assessment of the actual machining accuracy of a five-axis hybrid machine tool, avoiding analytical bias caused by directly treating follower error as contour error, and improving machining accuracy and control precision.
