Research on the Pose Error Compensation Technology for the Mass and Centroid Measurement of Large-Sized Aircraft Based on Kinematics

The accurate measurement of mass and centroid is indispensable for accurate control of aircraft. In order to eliminate the influence of assembly error and product pose error on the measurement results, a multi-station measurement idea that can self-compensate for the geometric parameter error is proposed in this paper based on. At the same time, the kinematic model of the mechanical structure of the measurement equipment is established to prove the effectiveness of the structure in error compensation theoretically, and the experimental verification of the standard part and aircraft is carried out. The test results show that the measurement results using the idea of the multi-station compensation measurement are significantly better than those of the more common methods, with the mass measurement accuracy of 0.03% and the centroid error within ±0.15 mm, meeting the requirement of high precision measurement for the mass properties.
