Fives is a multinational network of over 100 companies, with a total of 8,400 employees. Fives Liné Machines(FLM), one of these companies, is based in Granby and manufactures gantry-style machine tool solutions forthe aerospace, rail and heavy equipment industries. Last year, FLM launched the Liné Machines Robotics lineof custom-made solutions focusing on seven core processes: milling, trimming and drilling; deburring andpolishing; cleaning and surfacing; forming inspection and scanning; automation, tooling and part holding; andperipheral equipment for machine tools.FLM is interested in acquiring expertise in the use of industrial robots for machining purposes. The companyis particularly interested in using Fanuc's F-200iB hexapod as a fixture for holding a workpiece that is beingmachined. However, since FLM is focusing on the aerospace sector, it needs a hexapod that can position itsmobile platform with high absolute accuracy. Unfortunately, neither Fanuc, nor any other service provided,offers means for increasing the accuracy of a hexapod.The main objective of this project is to develop a method for improving the accuracy of Fanuc's F-200iBhexapod, by calibrating it and modelling its stiffness. A secondary objective will be to assess the possibility ofusing an array of such hexapods as means for flexible fixturing.

Fives是一个由100多家公司组成的乘法网络，共有8,400名员工。这些公司之一的FivesLiné机器（FLM）位于格兰比（Granby），制造商龙门式机床解决方案，用于航空航天，铁路和重型设备行业。去年，FLM启动了Liné机器人机器人线路定制解决方案，重点是七个核心过程：铣削，修剪和钻孔；毛刺和抛光；清洁和表面；形成检查和扫描；自动化，工具和部分持有； Flm有兴趣在用于机器目的的工业机器人方面获得专业知识。该公司特别有兴趣使用FANUC的F-200IB Hexapod作为持有正在加工的工作场所的固定装置。但是，由于FLM专注于航空航天部门，因此它需要一个可以以高绝对精度定位其Mobile平台的Hexapod。不幸的是，FANUC或提供的任何其他服务都没有提供提高六角形的准确性的手段。该项目的主要目的是通过对其进行校准和建模其刚度来开发一种方法来提高FANUC的F-200BHEXAPOD的准确性。次要目标将是评估使用此类六角形阵列作为灵活固定装置的手段的可能性。
