It is very important to test linear cycle positioning accuracy of NC lathes as it affect all other machines machined by them in industries. For example, if the linear positioning accuracy of x or z-axis directions is bad, the size of works will be wrong and the change-ability will be bad in the assembly of machine parts. In this paper , measuring systems are organized to measure linear displacement of ATC(Automatic tool changer) of NC lathe using laser interferometer, magnescale and tick pulses coming out from computer in order to get data at constant time intervals from the sensors, And each set of data gotten from test is expressed to a plots by computer treatment and the results of linear positioning error motion is estimated to numerics by statistical treatments.

In the manufacturing industry, there has been a significant increase in the use of coordinate measuring machines(CMM). In this paper, the sources of CMM measurement performance are discussed. The effects of workpiece position, length and orientation are analyzed by using the design of experiments. Both a fractional factorial design and a factorial design are employed to conduct the experimental study. The analysis of variance is performed to determine the significance of factors in the experiment and regression analysis is applied to make the measurement approximate model. The results show that position along the Z axis, length and orientation affect the CMM measurement performance.

Compensation of probe radius is required for accurate measurement in metal working industry. Compensation involves correctly measuring data on the surface in the amount of radius of the touch probe with a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Mechanical parts with free-formed curves and surfaces are complex enough so that accurate measurement and compensation are indispensable. This paper presents necessary algorithms involved in the compensation of the probe radius for free-formed curves and surfaces. Application of pillar curve is the focus for the compensation.

The objective of this paper is to realize an analysis system that is capable of controlling the quality of an entire cutting process by including a 3 coordinate measuring machine in the process line. Fuzzy reasoning networks based on fuzzy associative memories has been intro- duced in the measuring process, the control limits for the control process have been obtained, and the efficiency and reliability of the system have been determined by examining the simu- lated reasoning control values.

One of the major obstacles in testing or evaluating precisely the thermal behavior of a machine tool is the difficulty in measuring the heat transfer coefficients on the surfaces by a conventional method. This paper presents a new approach based on the inverse method to identify the values of heat transfer coefficients by using temperature changes measured on the surfaces of a machine tool during a short period in its operating. In the present method, a machine tool structure is modeled by the finite element method and the characteristic curves of the temperature change at several points on machine tool surfaces are theoretically derived in the form that they contain the heat transfer coefficient as an unfixed heat source are approximated so that the theoretical characteristic curves of temperature change fit the measured ones as closely as possible.

This paper described about the ultra-precision profile measurement of aspheric surfaces using contact probing technique. A contact probe has been designed as a sensing device to obtain measuring resolutions in nanometer regime utilizing a leaf spring mechanism and a capacitive-type sensor. The contact probe is attached on the z-axis during measurement while aspheric objects are supported on the single point diamond turning machine(SPDTM). The machine xz-axis motions are monitored by a set of two orthogonal plane mirror type laser interferometers. Experimental results show that the contact probing technique developed of On-machine Measurement System in this investigation is capable of providing a repeatability of 20 nanometers with a $\pm$20 uncertainty of 300 nanometers.

In general, manufacturing error originated in bad material, machine tool defection, tool defection, and tool breakage. When the manufacturing process is stable, the error is come from the tool wear. In common on-machine measurement, teaching probe and touch sensor are widely used, however in this thesis the automatic tool compensation system using electric touch point measuring system is developed and evaluated, and effective operating is proposed.

This paper proposed a error compensation methodology for three-DOF translational parallel manipulator. The proposed method uses CMM (coordinate measuring machine) as metrology equipment to measure the position of end-effector. To identify the transform relationships between the coordinate system of the parallel manipulator and the CMM coordinate system, a new coordinate referencing (or coordinate system identification) technique is presented. By using this technique, accurate coordinate transformation relationships are efficiently established. According to these coordinate transformation relationships, an equation to calculate the compensating error components at any arbitrary position of the end-effector is derived. In this paper, Monte Carlo simulation method is applied to simulate the compensation process. Through the simulation results, the proposed error compensation method proves its effectiveness and feasibility.

An Eggcrate assembly is an important part to hold and support 16,000 tubes containing hot and contaminated water in the steam generator of nuclear power plant. As a great number of tubes should be inserted into the eggcrate assembly, the dimensions of each eggcrate grid are one of the critical factors to determine the availability of tube insertion. in this paper. we propose a machine vision algorithm for measuring the inner-circle diameter of each eggcrate grid whose shape is not exact quadrangular. The overall procedure of the algorithm is composed of camera calibration, eggcrate image preprocessing, grid height adjustment, and inner-circle diameter estimation. The algorithm is tested on real specimens and the results show that the algorithm works fairly well.
