Abstract
The initial position errors that could be generated while setting the cutting tools can deteriorate machining accuracy. However, it is difficult to prevent the tool setting errors during the manual setting process, which may increase in accordance with the number of the control axes. These errors make it difficult to locate the tool accurately at the right position during multi-axis control machining. Therefore, this study aims at achieving 5-axis control ultraprecision machining by using a non-rotational cutting tool compensation. From the experiments, it is found that the proposed method is effective for the compensation.
