The probe tip of a micro-coordinate Measuring Machine (micro-CMM) is a microsphere with a diameter of hundreds of microns, and its sphericity is generally controlled within tens to hundreds of nanometers. However, the accurate measurement of the microsphere morphology is difficult because of the small size and high precision requirement. In this study, a measurement method with two scanning probes is proposed to obtain dimensions including the diameter and sphericity of microsphere. A series of maximum cross-sectional profiles of the microsphere in different angular directions are scanned simultaneously and differently by the scanning probes. By integrating the data of these maximum profiles, the dimensions of the microsphere can be calculated. The scanning probe is fabricated by combining a quartz tuning fork and a tungsten tip, which have a fine vertical resolution at a sub-nano scale. A commercial ruby microsphere is measured with the proposed method. Experiments that involve the scanning of six section profiles are carried out to estimate the dimensions of the ruby microsphere. The repeatability error of one section profile is 15.1 nm, which indicates that the measurement system has favorable repeatability. The mainly errors in the measurement are eliminated. The measured diameter and roundness are all consistent with the size standard of the commercial microsphere. The measurement uncertainty is evaluated, and the measurement results show that the method can be used to measure the dimensions of microspheres effectively.

Filtering Effect

Currently the measurement of surface texture in mechanical engineering is traditionally carried out using profilometers. Modern profilometers do not allow measuring of surfaces with complex shapes. This is due to the different sensitivity of the sensor and the discreteness of the movements along the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system. Coordinate Measuring Machines are devoid of such a drawback. However, stylus of the coordinate measuring machine has a diameter many times larger than the diamond stylus of the profilometer. Therefore, there is a mechanical filtering effect, that affects the results of measuring the parameters of the surface texture. In this paper a mathematical model of the contact of the spherical stylus and a rough surface based on analytical geometry is proposed. Influence of the diameter of the spherical stylus on the maximum measurement errors of a amplitude parameters are investigated. Seven amplitude parameters Rp, Rv, Rz, Ra, Rq, Rsk, Rku of the surface texture are modeled. Coordinate measuring machine and profilometer with stylus diameter of 2 μm measurement results are compared. it was concluded that the stylus diameter of the coordinate measuring machine when measuring the surface texture should be no more than 20 μm.

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) inspection planning is an activity performed by well-trained operators, but different measurement techniques, using the same data analysis algorithms yield in different measurement results. This is a well-recognized source of uncertainty in coordinate measurement. A CMM, provided with an automatic inspection planning (CAIP) system, permits to implement more accurate and efficient operating procedures and to fit higher quality assurance standards and tighter production timings.In this paper we present a frame of a CAIP system, able to deal with almost all the decisional stages of CMM inspection. Moreover, original approaches have been developed and presented in inspection feature selection, part set-up, probe configuration, and path planning.

A calibrator for 2D grid plates have been developed. The calibrator was based on a commercial imaging coordinate measuring machine (imaging CMM). A laser interferometer for the calibration of the x-coordinate and two laser interferometers for the calibration of the y-coordinate were attached to the imaging CMM. By applying multistep measurement method for the calibration procedure, the geometrical error in the calibrator was reduced. The calibration of a precision 2D grid plate was demonstrated, and the expanded uncertainty was estimated to be 0.2 μm (k =2).

Properties of polymer gears were tested using coordinate measurement methods. This study is a follow-up to research on geometric accuracy of gears manufactured by injection molding. Spur gears were measured on a coordinate measuring machine running the GINA software by Klingelnberg. Measurement results were output in the form of measurement sheets which included values required in the DIN 3962 standard. The article also analyses the topography of test gear teeth. The topography was presented for a single tooth of the gear and determined on the basis of the measurements of 9 profiles distributed evenly over a specific profile assessment interval (interval Lα defined in the standard) and 7 tooth traces located within a relevant tooth trace assessment interval (interval Lβ defined in the standard). All gears tested in this study were placed outside accuracy class 12.

REVO five-axis system, designed for the orthogonal coordinate measuring machines, must be reconfigured for the application in the non-orthogonal coordinate measuring machines. First, in this article, error sources of the system and components of measurement data are analyzed; then, scale values of coordinate measuring machine axes, which are essential to derive the coordinates of measured points in non-orthogonal coordinate measuring machine, are separated out. Besides, the mathematical model of REVO is established based on the quasi-rigid body theory, from which the measurement results can be evaluated by data derived instead of that returned by the system. The effectiveness of both separation of scale values and mathematical model of REVO is proved by experiments and practice. The research of this article is of great significance to the application of REVO five-axis system in the non-orthogonal coordinate measuring machine.

The German national metrology institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), has developed a novel calibration method for gear artefacts. This reduces the current calibration uncertainty of gear standards, which is an essential step towards meeting the rising quality demands of the gear manufacturing industry. The measurement setup is based on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) equipped with a high-precision rotary table. The key element of the novel gear measuring device is a tracking interferometer (TI) for reading the distance information. This information is combined with the reading of the coordinate measuring machine line scales in order to reduce the overall measurement uncertainty. If an optimized measurement strategy is applied, the measurement results are almost achieved with laser interferometer accuracy. First simulations and measurement results for an involute profile artefact are presented and discussed.

Measurements of cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments allow for the evaluation of the biomechanical properties of the tissue. Underlying in vitro techniques are data reduction approaches for determining the average thickness of the tissue and the assumption of the geometry of the cross-section, i.e. circular or elliptical. However, tissue distortions, sagging, and concavities could affect the reliability of these techniques, since these features may not be accounted for adequately. To address some of the concerns faced by these techniques, a non-contact (non-destructive) laser scan technique has been developed. In this technique, a laser scans along the axis of the tissue, a coordinate measuring machine simultaneously locates the corresponding point on the tissue based on the detection of reflected (attenuated) intensity, and, finally, computerized image analysis reconstructs the morphology of the tissue. This technique was applied to patellar tendons (PTs) from New Zealand rabbits. The scanning time for each PT was less than 2 minutes. Reconstructed three-dimensional surface plots revealed microconcavities consistent with images seen under optical microscopy. CSAs of these PTs were determined for repeatability and precision; results from a conventional approach which estimated the corresponding CSAs based on the average thickness and the assumption of ellipsoidal cross-sectional geometry were also determined for the purpose of comparison. Based on the standard cuboid model, the error between the laser technique and the conventional approach was within 0.4%; the reproducibility of the laser technique was within 2%.
