Beim Vibrationsgleitschleifen wird der Werkstoffabtrag maßgeblich durch die vorherrschenden Kontaktkräfte zwischen dem Werkstück und den Schleifkörpern bestimmt. Dieser Fachartikel stellt ein Messsystem vor, mit dem die messtechnische Erfassung der Kontaktkräfte beim ungeführten Vibrationsgleitschleifen möglich ist. Ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal ist dabei die vollständig kabellose Ausführung des Messsystems. Somit wurden die Messergebnisse nicht durch Kabel beeinflusst, die üblicherweise für die Energieversorgung und Datenübertragung notwendig sind. Mithilfe dieses Messsystems wurde der Einfluss folgender Prozesseingangsgrößen systematisch untersucht: Schleifkörpergröße, Unwuchtmotordrehzahl, Versatzwinkel der Unwuchtgewichte sowie die Masse des unteren und oberen Unwuchtgewichts auf die Kontaktkräfte.   In vibratory finishing the material removal is influenced by the contact forces between work piece and media. In this paper a measurement system is presented which is able to measure contact forces between work piece and media in unguided vibratory finishing. The unique feature of the measurement system is its completely wireless construction so that the measurement results are not influenced by wires of the force sensor system including the electrical power supply and the data logging. By means of this measurement system, contact forces can be measured in unguided vibratory finishing processes for the first time. Furthermore, the influence of media size and adjustment of the unbalance motor like revolution speed, phase angle and mass distribution between the upper and the lower eccentric weight on the contact forces was investigated.

Previous work on vibratory finishing has led to a better understanding and establishment of the mass finishing processes. Despite the sustained efforts made to date, vibratory finishing remains a field where the findings made have been based largely on empirical evidence. Through force sensor analyses and scanning electron microscopy imaging, in this work a successful attempt has been made in uncovering the underlying science—through first principles of Newtonian physics—behind vibratory finishing, providing explanations for the observations made. Trials were carried out in a high-frequency vibratory bowl, the first of its kind in the vibratory finishing industry. Through these trials, mathematical formulations have been derived, essentially providing a reliable way for the industry to estimate the process cycle time.

Abstract The work bowl acceleration of a vibratory finishing machine is mainly determined by the process input variables, e. g. the mass distribution between the upper and the lower imbalance weights, the offset angle between these imbalance weights and the rotational speed of the imbalance motor. The acceleration of the work bowl has a strong effect on the acceleration of the abrasive media and workpiece within the work bowl and thus on their movement. This movement indirectly determines the contact conditions, contact forces and relative velocities, between the abrasive media and the workpiece. The contact conditions have a strong effect on the material removal rate and the surface roughness of the machined workpieces in a vibratory finishing process. Due to the fact that the contact conditions can hardly be measured during the vibratory finishing process a comprehensive understanding of the transfer behavior of the work bowl acceleration on the acceleration of the abrasive media and the workpiece and thus on the prevailing contact conditions is necessary. Therefore, this publication presents an innovative approach to identify these cause-effect relationships, in order to determine the machining intensity based on the work bowl acceleration as a function of the process input variables. Hence, new measurement systems are presented which enable the determination of the acceleration of the abrasive media and the workpiece as a function of the acceleration of the work bowl of a vibratory finishing machine for the first time. Based on these investigations it is possible to identify significant areas for the work bowl acceleration, as well as for the acceleration of the abrasive media and the workpiece and thus for the contact conditions, contact forces and relative velocities, which can be used for a targeted control of the machining intensity of vibratory finishing processes.

The relative velocity between workpiece and media has a strong effect on the material removal rate in vibratory finishing. Due to this fact, a measurement system in the form of a camera-integrated workpiece is presented in this paper, which is capable of measuring the relative velocity between the workpiece and the media in an unguided vibratory finishing process. The unique feature of this measurement system is the completely wireless construction, so that the results are not influenced by wires for the data transfers and the electrical power supply of the light-emitting diodes of the camera system. Furthermore, the influence of the media size and adjustments of the imbalance engine like rotational speed, mass distribution between the upper and the lower imbalance weights, and offset angle between the imbalance weights were investigated. The evaluation of the results has shown that the media size and the rotational speed of the imbalance engine are the major influence factors on the relative velocity between workpiece and media.

The continuous development of computer technology has made it applicable in many scientific fields, including research into a wide range of processes in agricultural machines. It allows the simulation of very complex physical phenomena, including grain motion. A recently discovered discrete element method (DEM) is used for this purpose. It involves direct integration of equations of grain system motion under the action of various forces, the most important of which are contact forces. The method’s accuracy depends mainly on precisely developed mathematical models of contacts. The creation of such models requires empirical validation, an experiment that investigates the course of contact forces at the moment of the impact of the grains. To achieve this, specialised test stations equipped with force and speed sensors were developed. The correct selection of testing equipment and interpretation of results play a decisive role in this type of research. This paper focuses on the evaluation of the force sensor dynamic properties’ influence on the measurement accuracy of the course of the plant grain impact forces against a stiff surface. The issue was examined using the computer simulation method. A proprietary computer software with the main calculation module and data input procedures, which presents results in a graphic form, was used for calculations. From the simulation, graphs of the contact force and force signal from the sensor were obtained. This helped to clearly indicate the essence of the correct selection of parameters used in the tests of sensors, which should be characterised by high resonance frequency.

This paper introduces a near-field measurement system concept for the fast testing of linear arrays suited for mass production scenarios where a high number of nominally identical antennas needs to be measured. The proposed system can compute the radiation pattern, directivity and gain on the array plane, as well as the array complex feeding coefficients in a matter of seconds. The concept is based on a multi-probe antenna array arranged in a line which measures the near field of the antenna under test in its array plane. This linear measurement is postprocessed with state-of-the-art single-cut transformation techniques. To compensate the lack of full 3D information, a previous complete characterization of a “Gold Antenna” is performed. This antenna is nominally identical to the many ones that will be measured with the proposed system. Therefore, the data extracted from this full characterization can be used to complement the postprocessing steps of the single-cut measurements. An X-band 16-probe demonstrator of the proposed system is implemented and introduced in this paper, explaining all the details of its architecture and operation steps. Finally, some measurement results are given to compare the developed demonstrator with traditional anechoic measurements, and show the potential capabilities of the proposed concept to perform fast and reliable measurements.

For measuring the thrust of combined nozzles in satellite thruster with a small space, the test method that the nozzle directly sprays on the load baffle is employed in this paper. The key problem is how to design the positions of 10 load baffles and how to construct the measurement system. A set of complete and automatic nozzle thrust measurement system is designed and built, and the influence of the load baffle applied on the flow field of nozzles is analyzed using the software FLUENT. Furthermore, the load surface locations of the sensors for the different types of nozzles are analyzed. We draw the conclusion that the load baffle position should range from 4–8 mm for the I-type nozzle and range in 6–12 mm for II-type and III-type nozzle. The correction coefficients of the thrust forces for all channels of the measurement system are determined in the calibration experiment. The uncertainty of measurement system is estimated and the error source of the measurement system is traced. We found that the systematic uncertainty is mainly contributed by the A-type uncertainty which is related with the nozzle dimension and its inner structure. The B-type uncertainty of system is contributed by the force sensor.

Abstract In this paper, a micromachined silicon load cell (force sensor) is presented for measuring loads up to 500 kg. The load cell has been realized and tested. Measurement results show a hysteresis error of ±0.02% of the full-scale output (fso). Creep at 500 kg after 30 minutes is within 0.01% of the fso. These measurements show that the performance has improved by a factor of 10 compared to the previous design.

AbstractThis paper describes a portable, prosthetic control system for at-home use of an advanced bionic arm. The system uses a modified Kalman filter to provide 6 degree-of-freedom, real-time, proportional control. We describe (a) how the system trains motor control algorithms for use with an advanced bionic arm, and (b) the system’s ability to record an unprecedented and comprehensive dataset of EMG, hand positions and force sensor values. Intact participants and a transradial amputee used the system to perform activities-of-daily-living, including bi-manual tasks, in the lab and at home. This technology enables at-home dexterous bionic arm use, and provides a high-temporal resolution description of daily use—essential information to determine clinical relevance and improve future research for advanced bionic arms.
