Dimensional Surface

Surface measurement using three-dimensional stylus instruments is a relatively new technique that offers numerous advantages over more traditional profilometry methods. The information generated is, unlike profile measurement, less subjective and more statistical providing additional insight into the surface structure. One application of surface measurement that has encountered problems when using the profilometry method is that of grinding wheel characterisation. The wheel surface texture (topography) and the conditions under which it is generated have a profound effect upon the grinding performance as characterised by the grinding forces, power consumption, temperature, and surface integrity of components. A detailed knowledge of the nature of the topography of the grinding wheel would provide further insight into surface interactions between the wheel and workpiece as well as enabling improved control of the grinding process in general. In this paper four diamond grinding wheels of 91 and 181 micron grit size were subjected to differing dressing conditions to produce varying final wheel topographies. Three-dimensional surface measurement techniques were employed to quantitatively characterise the topographic change and provide an aerial estimation of the number of cutting grains. The results demonstrate that the techniques can distinguish between a worn and dressed wheel. In addition, the parametric values generated from the various surfaces can aid the user in determining when re-dressing is required.

Surface topography is an important characteristic of the surface integrity, and influences the performance and mechanical properties of the workpiece to a great extent in micro milling SiCp/Al composites. It is evaluated by three-dimensional surface roughness ( Sq) and fractal dimension ( Ds) in this paper. Based on the single factor experiment and the orthogonal experiment, the influence of process parameters (feed per tooth, spindle speed, milling depth, and milling width) on surface topography is studied. The results show that Sq is mainly affected by milling width and milling depth and optimal results for minimum Sq are: ae = 1.5 mm, ap = 0.08 mm, n = 12000 r/min, and fz=1 μm/z. While Ds is mainly affected by milling width and optimal parameters for maximum Ds are: ae=1 mm, n = 14000 r/min, fz = 1.5 μm/z and ap = 0.12 mm. There is a weak negative correlation between Sq and Ds. In addition, Ds is more sensitive to the main defects and in general a large Ds corresponds to a good surface.

Considerable research effort has been focused on evaluating the accuracy of meso- and macroscale digital close range photogrammetry. However, evaluations of accuracy and applications in the submillimeter scale are rare. In this paper the authors propose the development of a three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetric scanner, based on macrolens cameras, able to reconstruct the three-dimensional surface topography of objects with submillimeter features. The system exploits multifocal image composition and has been designed for installation on all types of Numerical Controlled or Robotic systems. The approach is exploitable for digitizing submillimeter features at mesoscale as well as macroscale objects.
