Form Metrology

Abstract Results of an intercomparison measurement of sensitivity standards are presented. The standards circulated were a flick and two multi-wave standards (MWS). The measurands were form deviation and, for the MWS only, the height of the dominant spectral components. For the flick, influences from mechanical filtering and calibration are discussed. For the MWS several influencing…

Abstract The calibration of form measurement instruments generally is performed by calibration standards. Current available standards are only restrictedly suited for this purpose. Therefore novel standards have been developed which embody several superimposed sinusoidal waves on a cylindrical surface. It is shown that by their application the calibration of form measurement instruments can be significantly…

Abstract The multistep error separation technique is a high precision measuring technique. It is widely used to measure the radial, axial and composite errors of rotating pick-up roundness measuring instruments, turntable roundness measuring instruments or precision axis systems. The author deals with the problems of measuring accuracy of the multistep method and the determination of…

Abstract This paper presents a new error separation method for accurate roundness measurement called the orthogonal mixed method. This method uses the information of one displacement probe and one angle probe to separate roundness error from spindle error. This method was developed from the mixed method, which uses the information of two displacement probes and…

Abstract. An international comparison of roundness measurements at the highest level of accuracy has beencarried out between eight European laboratories. Three roundness standards with different designs and roundnessdeviations were measured. One standard was a commercially available type, two standards were developed for thepurpose of this comparison. The agreement between the laboratories was within +/-20nm for…

Abstract This paper presents a new multiprobe method for roundness measurementscalled the mixed method. In this method, displacements at two points on acylindrical workpiece and an angle at one of the two points are simultaneouslymonitored by two probes. The differential output of the probes cancelsthe effect of the spindle error, and deconvolving the differential datayields…

AbstractRoundness measurement is critical in manufacturing, as it ensures that products conform to precise designspecifications. However, traditional multistep measurements for roundness error separation are time-consuming andlimited in their ability to separate specific Fourier components. In this study, we propose a novel combined multistepmeasurement method with prime numbers that overcomes these limitations. We demonstrate this method…

Abstract Measurement plays a key role in human’s life. Without measurement there will be no human life environment. Engineering science and technologies with their applications based on measurement, allow for decision of the development of our civilization. The role of metrology is constantly increasing, especially in such fields as industry, energy, transportation, education, health, agriculture…
