This paper presents the inspection technology for a freeform surface component which is named F-theta lens. F-theta lens is widely used in laser scanners, printers, etc. Freeform characterization is one of the main approaches to verify the manufacturing precision of freeform surface. At present, there is still a lack of techniques for the characterization of freeform surfaces. This study aimed to explore some approaches to inspect freeform surfaces. Two types of measurement methods, namely contact and non-contact measurement methods, are employed to measure the F-theta lens surface. The pros and cons, the existing problems, different applications and areas for improvement of the two methods are discussed. A series of advanced measuring instruments are used in the measurement process. A brief description of measurement mechanisms of these instruments is also presented. As a whole, this paper contributes to the development of the precision measurement technology for optical freeform surfaces.

The existing problems of temperature measurement for CNC machine tool are pointed out through analyzing research results of temperature measurement methods, temperature measurement points optimum and temperature variables selection technology. The devices and properties of contact and non-contact temperature measurement are compared and evaluated. The error measurement devices and their technology development of CNC machine tool are described. The measurement methods and results of temperature and error are analyzed by testing on a concrete CNC machine tool. It is concluded that some objective rules exist in various machine tools. The locations of sensitive points for temperature and errors as well as its number can be defined.

Compound freeform surfaces are widely used in bionic and optical applications. The manufacturing and measurement of such surfaces are challenging due to the complex geometry with multi-scale features in a high precision level with sub-micrometer form accuracy and nanometer surface finish. This article presents a study of ultra-precision machining and characterization of compound freeform surfaces. A hybrid machining process by combining slow slide servo and fast tool servo is proposed to machine compound freeform surfaces. The machining process for this hybrid tool servo is explained, and tool path generation is presented. Then, a normal template-based matching and characterization method is proposed to evaluate such compound freeform surfaces. Experimental studies are undertaken to machine a compound freeform surface using the proposed method based on a four-axis ultra-precision machine tool. The machined compound freeform surface is also measured and characterized by the proposed analysis and characterization method. The experimental results are presented, and the machining errors for compound freeform surfaces are also discussed.

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) required that the source testing Standard on Measurement of Exhaust Emissions from Stationary Gas Turbine Engines, B133.9, be brought up to date with today’s regulatory requirements and best measurement technology. The criteria for the design of the Standard along with its content and format are discussed. The selection of measurement methods for gaseous components, smoke, and particulates emitted by present day emission controlled industrial gas turbine engines is presented.

A major problem now hampering increased recycling of old cardboard containers (OCC), is the presence of significant amounts of polymeric materials such as adhesives, tapes, labels and wax which enter the pulp process stream along with the cardboard and paper that was collected for recycling. Many of these materials contain very fine particles of inorganic fillers and pigments. These various contaminant constituents combine in some, as yet unknown, manner to form an extremely gummy material that deposits on paper machine surfaces and sticks tenaciously (hence the term “Stickies”). The sticky blobs are very difficult to remove and increases machine downtime and maintenance costs as well as causing blemishes on the finished container board product Light optical image analysis, UV fluorescence, FTIR and electron microscopy are being used in consort with particle size measuring instruments, TGS and DSC thermal analysis techniques, FTIR infra-red spectroscopy as well as XRF (x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy ), XPS (x-ray photo emission spectroscopy) and classical contact angle determination methods as part of a broad program to characterize the physical and chemical nature of stickies in pulp slurries with the goal of removing them or alleviating their pronounced tendency to deposit on machinery and paper products.

As one of the new types of functional materials, nano-sized composite energetic materials (nano-CEMs) possess many advantages and broad application prospects in the research field of explosives and propellants. The recent progress in the preparation and performance characterization of Al-based nano-CEMs has been reviewed. The preparation methods and properties of Al-based nano-CEMs are emphatically analyzed. Special emphasis is focused on the improved performances of Al-based nano-CEMs, which are different from those of conventional micro-sized composite energetic materials (micro-CEMs), such as thermal decomposition and hazardous properties. The existing problems and challenges for the future work on Al-based nano-CEMs are discussed.
