Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It has become apparent in recent years that the requirements and expectations of customers on the global market are growing bigger and bigger. Thus, it is necessary to manufacture products of a very high quality. Quality control of products requires the application of relevant measurement methods and instruments. Therefore, this Special Issue is dedicated to the problems of measurement and quality control in the area of manufacturing engineering. In particular, works concerning the following problems are invited: increasing the accuracy of coordinate measuring machines, surface measurements, measurements of form deviations, the application of 3D scanners in metrology, application of computed tomography in metrology, quality control methods, and uncertainty analysis. Manuscripts concerning novel manufacturing technologies are invited, too; however, their authors should demonstrate that the problems of measurement are predominant in their works.

This work concerns the problem of measuring surface roughness using the tactile method. The result of such a measurement is influenced by many factors, for example, the applied measurement parameters or changes in ambient conditions, e.g., temperature. The authors attempted to determine the influence of the tracing speed of the result of the profilometer tip on the roughness measurement of surfaces characterized by different types of irregularities. In the experiment, samples manufactured using various machining techniques were measured. Eleven selected roughness parameters were observed, including the most well-known ones, such as Ra, Rz, or Rt. The results obtained by the authors allowed them to determine which of the analyzed parameters are the most sensitive to changes in the tracing speed of the measuring tip, which is of great importance in the aspect of surface roughness measurements in industrial conditions. Owing to the obtained results, it is possible to determine in which cases it is possible to increase the speed of tip travel without reducing the reliability of the obtained results of surface roughness measurement.

The 14 geometrical tolerances defined in ISO 1101 are supplemented by the alphanumerical symbols defined in this standard and some other standards. The symbols CZ (combined zone), SZ (separate zones) and SIM (simultaneous requirement), which are crucial for the development of robust measuring programs for coordinate measuring machines, were introduced at different times or in different standards. It is shown that the symbol definitions are not always complete. Sometimes there are no univocal rules for their use, which, in some cases, leads to ambiguity in the specifications given by a designer. It is also pointed out that certain functional requirements can be controlled by different symbols, and it is not always clear if the indications are equivalent. This makes it difficult to understand and interpret a drawing by a metrologist and, thus, may lead to uncertainty in the assessment of product conformity regarding specifications. The identified ambiguities and problems in the specification of functional requirements are shown in several figures. Corrections and additions to current standards are proposed. Full article

High-temperature processes can have a direct impact on the state and physicochemical properties of materials, making high-temperature measurements important in scientific research, materials processing, and equipment evaluation. A temperature measurement method of color CCD based on matrix search is reported in this paper. In this method, the traditional temperature reverse calculation process is transformed into the forward matrix search process, and the process parameters such as medium absorption gamma correction are incorporated, which saves the calculation resources and is closer to the actual temperature measurement conditions. A temperature measurement process and a temperature visualization procedure are designed for this high-temperature measurement method, the flame temperature measurement experiments are carried out, and the error results are obtained. By comparing the solution results and chrominance deviation distance between the perturbation emissivity model and the non-perturbation emissivity model, the robustness of the solution method is discussed.

Because of time and cost constraints, item picking plays a major role in warehouse operations. Considering diversified orders and a constant warehouse design, deciding how to combine each batch and picker route effectively is a challenge in warehouse management. In this study, we focus on the evaluation of order-batching strategies for a single picker facing multiple orders with the objective of minimizing the total traveling distance. We propose two-stage simulated annealing and variable neighborhood search algorithms to solve the combined problem. The orders are first merged into batches, followed by determining the sequence in each batch. The computational analysis revealed that the best-fit-decreasing (BFD) batch ordering strategy in the two-stage algorithms, the variable neighborhood search algorithm, obtained superior solutions to those of the simulated annealing algorithm.
