In Process Laser Measurement
ISAMOD – In-Situ Machine Axis Error Monitoring Project Summary Laser interferometry is commonly used to measure machine axis accuracy but has one major flaw in that it cannot be used to monitor axis dynamic performance while the machine is cutting. The result of this is that machine accuracy measurements can only be guaranteed […]
Thermal Imaging Research
Thermal imaging is a common technique for analysing the thermal properties of a machine and identifying heat sources. Thermal effects are common sources of non-linear, hard to predict errors in the tool position. MTT in the conjunction with the University of Huddersfield are researching methods for using automatic methods for measuring, analysing and compensating for […]
