ACCURACY OF WORK TOOL POSITION MEASUREMENT BY MEANS OF A DRILLING MONITORING SYSTEM
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents examples of test results of an innovative, optical system of tool location identification in a workspace. This system was developed and produced as part of the research carried out in cooperation with KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The article contains a general description of the system, basic components and the scientific basis underlying the development. The technical parameters of the system are also indicated as well as the ranges of required accuracy of the tool location determination, the achievement of which was a condition for the admission of the project to the implementation stage for operation. Based on the results of tests carried out both on the surface and in underground operation conditions, the project assumptions were confirmed and the system's accuracy ranges were determined. The very promising results obtained clearly indicate the validity of continuing work on the development of the tool location identification system in a wider range of machines.<br/><br/>
