A capacitive sensing system for measuring spindle roundness was proposed in this paper, it was different with the past method using inductive sensors and laser displacement sensors. Three capacitive displacement probes were installed circularly on the measured shaft, because of capacitive sensor with average effect in two electrode plates, it is able to overcome the affect of microscopic factors. while the shaft was rotating with a certain speed, the probes measured the shaft’s profile in non-contact mode simultaneously, then through linear combination for three output signals, the spindle error of the rotating shaft was eliminated, and the roundness error was effectively separated from the measurement results. The experiment results have verified the effectiveness of roundness error measuring system based on mutiple capacitive probes, this capacitive sensing system can be used for rotating shaft roundness measurement.

It’s an important problem for power industry; energy industry, aviation and shipping to real-time measure the rotating blades’ tip clearance of engine. The conventional measurement techniques have different limitations. To achieve applied level for tip clearance measurement technique, according to the use request and application environment of tip clearance sensor, a new fiber-optic sensor was put forward to measure the blade tip radial clearance of engine in non-contact mode. The sensor was consist of single-bundle transmitting fiber in the center for laser beam delivery and three groups receiving fibers located in all around for collecting the scattered light. The sensor can not only eliminate the effect to measurement results of light source fluctuation and reflectivity variety of tip surface, but also reduce the effect of angle between the tip surface and sensor end face to measurement results. From the measurement results obtained from sensor on different clearance points, it proves that the sensor measuring system has well feasibility and reliability in blades tip clearance detection.

A new three-point method for spindle roundness error measuring was introduced, three capacitive sensors were installed on the measured shaft circularly, and with a certain angle each other, while the spindle was rotating with a certain speed, the capacitive sensors had measurement on the circular profile simultaneously, then through linear combination for three-sensor output signals, the roundness error was effectively separated from the spindle error. There were no strict requirement to initial installation position by using capacitive sensors, as long as ensuring the change of measured rotor error within the linear range of sensors, we could realize effective measurement. The experiment results have verified the effectiveness of roundness error measuring system based on three capacitive sensors.

AbstractIn this study, three-probe error separation was developed with three chromatic confocal displacement sensors for roundness measurement. Here, the harmonic suppression is discussed first to set suitable orientation angles among three sensors. Monte Carlo simulation is utilized to test the error separation and optimize the orientation angles and off-axial distance. The experimental setup is established using chromatic confocal sensors with a precise rotary platform. The experimental results show that the measured roundness with an orientation-angle combination of (0°, 90.1°, and 178.6°) is much better than that of another nonoptimal selection (0°, 90.4°, and 177.4°). The roundness error is only 0.7% between the proposed measurement system and an expensive ultraprecision roundness meter. Furthermore, it is proven that the eccentricity distance should be decreased as small as possible to improve the measurement accuracy. In sum, this paper proposes a feasible method for roundness measurement with reliable simulations, easily integrated sensors, and an ordinary precision rotary platform.

AbstractThe article presents a redesigned sensor holder for an atomic force microscope (AFM) with an adjustable probe direction, which is integrated into a nano measuring machine (NMM-1). The AFM, consisting of a commercial piezoresistive cantilever operated in closed-loop intermitted contact-mode, is based on two rotational axes, which enable the adjustment of the probe direction to cover a complete hemisphere. The axes greatly enlarge the metrology frame of the measuring system by materials with a comparatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. The AFM is therefore operated within a thermostating housing with a long-term temperature stability of 17 mK. The sensor holder, connecting the rotational axes and the cantilever, inserted one adhesive bond, a soldered connection and a geometrically undefined clamping into the metrology circle, which might also be a source of measurement error. It has therefore been redesigned to a clamped senor holder, which is presented, evaluated and compared to the previous glued sensor holder within this paper. As will be shown, there are no significant differences between the two sensor holders. This leads to the conclusion, that the three aforementioned connections do not deteriorate the measurement precision, significantly. As only a minor portion of the positioning range of the piezoelectric actuator is needed to stimulate the cantilever near its resonance frequency, a high-speed closed-loop control that keeps the cantilever within its operating range using this piezoelectric actuator further on as actuator was implemented and is presented within this article.

This paper deals with a simulation model of slip displacement sensors for the object slip signals’ registration in the adaptive robot’s gripper. The study presents the analysis of different methods for slip displacement signals detection, as well as authors’ solutions. Special attention is paid to the investigations of the developed sensor with the resistive registration element in rod type structure of sensitive elements, which is able to operate in harsh and corrosive environments. A sensing system for the object slip signals’ registration in the adaptive robot’s gripper with a clamping force correction is developed for proposed slip displacement sensor with multi-component resistive registration elements. The hardware implementation of the sensing system for slip signals’ registration and obtained results are considered in details. The simulation model of the proposed slip displacement sensor based on polytypic conductive rubber is modeled by Proteus software. The intelligent approaches with the use of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and VHDL-model to the sensing system designing allow to define the slippage direction in slip displacement sensor based on resistive registration elements. Thus, this expands the functionality of the developed sensor.

Abstract This paper presents a novel thickness profile measuring system that measures double-sided thin pipe wall surfaces in a non-contact, continuous, cosine error-free, and fast manner. The surface metrology tool path was developed to align the displacement sensors always normal to the double-sided surfaces to remove cosine error. A pair of capacitive-type sensors that were placed on the rotary and linear axes simultaneously scans the inner and outer surfaces of thin walls. Because the rotational error of the rotary axis can severely affect the accuracy in thickness profile measurement, such error was initially characterized by a reversal method. It was compensated for along the rotational direction while measuring the measurement target. Two measurement targets (circular and elliptical metal pipe-type thin walls) were prepared to validate the developed measurement method and system. Not only inner and outer surface profiles but also thin-wall thickness profiles were measured simultaneously. Based on the output data, the circularity and wall thickness variation were calculated. The thickness profile results showed a good agreement with those obtained by a contact-type micrometer (1-µm resolution) at every 6-deg interval. The uncertainty budget for this measuring system with metrology tool path planning was estimated at approximately 1.4 µm.
