Abstract: This paper deals with an optical sensor designed to automatically measure a sculptured surface geometry. The sensor can continuously and simultaneously detect a position vector (a gap distance) ...

Abstract: A practical way to achieve machine tool drive system accuracy is through compensation in the position control loop. Various strategies have been developed in which the compensation data are ...

Abstract: Large area electron beams (EBs) have recently been successfully used to machine dies and tool steels. This large area EB process can greatly improve the machined surface quality as well as ...
