To measure various components with nano-scale precision, a new high-precision touch-trigger probe using a single low-cost sensor for a micro-coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is presented in this paper. The sensor is composed of a laser diode, a pla...
In this paper, an assembled cantilever fiber touch trigger probe was developed for three-dimensional measurements of clear microstructures. The probe consists of a shaft assembled vertically to an optical fiber cantilever and a probing sphere located...
We developed a three-degree-of-freedom touch trigger probe integrated with two optical sensors. The probe includes an XY-axis cantilever stylus and a Z-axis structure supported by four parallel leaf springs. A laser diode combined with 1D and 2D posi...
This research evaluates the accuracy and repeatability of a novel procedure for measuring pitch diameter using a touch-trigger probe in a production environment. Experiments were performed on a WFL M40 machine equipped with a Renishaw RMP600 strain g...
In modern manufacturing, there is an increasing demand for reliable in-process measurement methods directly on large CNC machine tools, eliminating the need to transport workpieces to metrological laboratories. This study assesses the capability and...
This article presents advances in the methodology of rapid various probe configurations comparison for the five-axis, tilting-head machine tools in conjunction with master artifacts. The research was performed in a direct context of automated machini...
Probes for CNC machine tools, as every measurement device, have accuracy limited by random errors and by systematic errors. Random errors of these probes are described by a parameter called unidirectional repeatability. Manufacturers of probes for CN...
As a spatial coordinate sensor, the touch-trigger on-machine probe is a key equipment in manufacturing that ensures machining quality, and it has played an important role in five-axis flank milling. However, in flank milling, the utilization of the d...
To achieve true 3D nano-measurement with sub-nanometer resolution and very low touch force through a micro/nano coordinate measuring machine, a new 3D resonant trigger probe based on a quartz tuning fork is proposed. In this trigger probe, a quartz t...
Tapping mode (TM) atomic force microscopy (AFM) in a liquid environment is widely used to measure the contours of biological specimens. The TM triggers the AFM probe approximately at the resonant frequencies and controls the tip such that it periodic...
Now equipped with touch trigger probes machine tools are increasingly used to measure workpieces for various tasks such as rapid setup, compensation of final tool paths to correct part deflections and even verify conformity to finished tolerances. On...
