Abstract

A five-axis space precision measurement fixture includes a body, screw holes to install first balls and second balls. The body has a first surface, a second surface, a third surface and an inclined surface located with respect to the third surface between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface and the second surface are parallel to each other and are located on opposite sides of the third surface. An included angle between the inclined surface and the third surface is 45 degree. The first balls are equal-spacing into columns and rows on the first surface, and each of the first balls is protruded from the first surface along a first direction. The second balls are also equal-spacing disposed on the inclined surface, and each of the second balls is protruded from the inclined surface along a second direction which is vertical to the first direction.

Claims (10)

1 . A five-axis space precision measurement fixture, comprising:

a body, at least having a first surface, a third surface, a fourth surface and an inclined surface, the first surface and the third surface being neighbored and perpendicular to each other, the fourth surface being neighbored with the first surface and the third surface and perpendicular to each of the first surface and the third surface, the inclined surface neighboring the first surface and forming an angle of 45° to the third surface;

a plurality of first-ball screw holes, arranged on the first surface in an equal-spacing manner to form a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each row of the plurality of rows being parallel to the third surface, each column of the plurality of columns being perpendicular to the third surface, each of the plurality of first-ball screw holes having an axial direction parallel to a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the first surface; and

a plurality of second-ball screw holes, arranged on the inclined surface along a tilt direction in an equal-spacing manner, each of the plurality of second-ball screw holes having an axial direction parallel to a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the third surface, the second direction and the first direction being perpendicular to each other.

2 . The five-axis space precision measurement fixture of claim 1 , wherein an inter-center distance of any two neighboring first-ball screw holes in the plurality of rows is equal to an inter-center distance of any two neighboring first-ball screw holes in the plurality of columns.

3 . The five-axis space precision measurement fixture of claim 1 , wherein an inter-center distance of any two neighboring projections on the third plane from the plurality of second-ball screw holes is equal an inter-center distance of any two neighboring projections on the third plane from the plurality of first-ball screw holes.

4 . The five-axis space precision measurement fixture of claim 1 , wherein the inclined surface has a plurality of platform surfaces arranged along the tilt direction, the plurality of platform surfaces are parallel to the third surface in decreasing spacing, and each of the plurality of platform surfaces is provided with one said second-ball screw hole.

5 . The five-axis space precision measurement fixture of claim 4 , wherein said second-ball screw holes on the plurality of platform surfaces are arranged to have the same inter-center distance.

6 . The five-axis space precision measurement fixture of claim 1 , wherein the first surface and the third surface are connected by a flange, the flange is protruded from the first surface, the flange has a flange surface, the flange surface and the first surface are connected and perpendicular to each other, and the flange surface is parallel to the third surface and has a length.

7 . The five-axis space precision measurement fixture of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first-ball screw holes and the plurality of second-ball screw holes are used to mount a plurality of first balls and a plurality of second balls, respectively, and heights of the plurality of first balls on the first surface are equal.
