In geometric and dimension tolerance investigations, especially for high precision mechanical parts, the accuracy of measurement is very important. The major equipment for the measurement is the coordinate measuring machine (CMM). However, the recommended strategies for evaluating tolerance values of geometric and dimension cannot be applied with high precision mechanical parts. Hence, in this research, the researcher introduced a new procedure that could evaluate geometric and dimension tolerance values of high precision mechanical parts accurately. This new procedure can determine the minimum sampling point for evaluating geometric and dimension tolerance values by using some performance information on the mechanical parts of the machine. This information was the waviness of the production machine’s motion. In order to evaluate the potential of new procedure, the flatness of test piece was made according to the ISO 10791-7-A160 standard as a case study. This test piece was made from the CNC milling machine (Chevalier 2040 VMC), and the waviness of the CNC milling machine’s motion was counted from the performance testing result measured by the double ball-bar model Renishaw QC10. By comparing flatness obtained by recommended and new procedures, experimental results indicated that the new procedure showed its potential in estimating the flatness.

Classic methods of machining cylindrical gears, such as hobbing or circumferential chiseling, require the use of expensive special machine tools and dedicated tools, which makes production unprofitable, especially in small and medium series. Today, special attention is paid to the technology of making gears using universal CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools with standard cheap tools. On the basis of the presented mathematical model, a software was developed to generate a code that controls a machine tool for machining cylindrical gears with straight and modified tooth line using the multipass method. Made of steel 16MnCr5, gear wheels with a straight tooth line and with a longitudinally modified convex-convex tooth line were machined on a five-axis CNC milling machine DMG MORI CMX50U, using solid carbide milling cutters (cylindrical and ball end) for processing. The manufactured gears were inspected on a ZEISS coordinate measuring machine, using the software Gear Pro Involute. The conformity of the outline, the tooth line, and the gear pitch were assessed. The side surfaces of the teeth after machining according to the planned strategy were also assessed; the tests were carried out using the optical microscope Alicona Infinite Focus G5 and the contact profilographometer Taylor Hobson, Talysurf 120. The presented method is able to provide a very good quality of machined gears in relation to competing methods. The great advantage of this method is the use of a tool that is not geometrically related to the shape of the machined gear profile, which allows the production of cylindrical gears with a tooth and profile line other than the standard.

To develop a high precision Micro Coordinate Measuring Machine (Micro-CMM), it is important to evaluate an X-Y stage on the Micro-CMM. A precision multi-probe measurement system has been designed and developed for simultaneously measuring the yaw and straightness errors of the X-Y stage. In the system, an autocollimator measures the yaw error of the stage, and two laser interferometers measure the profile of a standard mirror which is fixed on the X-Y stage. The straightness error is reconstructed by the application of simultaneous equation and least-squares methods, and the uncertainty associated with the multi-probe method is simulated. When the interval of the laser interferometers equals 10 mm, the standard deviation of multi-probe method using the high accuracy autocollimator and the laser interferometers is about 10 nm. The simulation results satisfy our purpose for the uncertainty of 50 nm, and practical considerations are discussed.

Gear Accuracy

Straight bevel gears are usually manufactured with various machines and systems, and the tooth profiles are produced by grinding or machining by means of a tool with many cutting edges. In recent years, the straight bevel gear has been manufactured by an end mill using a CNC milling machine because the use of the auxiliary apparatus, special cutters, and special machine tools are not needed. Using this method, the gear manufacturing with high accuracy is important problem. In this paper, the coordinate measurement of the straight bevel gear manufactured in this method is performed and the gear accuracy is evaluated. The tooth profiles of a straight bevel gear generated by a quasicomplementary crown gear instead of a conventional complementary crown gear is introduced. For this study, first the tooth profiles of the straight bevel gear were modeled using a 3D-CAD system and the gear was manufactured by an end mill using a CNC milling machine based on a CAM process. Afterward, the coordinates of many points on the gear tooth surfaces were measured at random using a coordinate measuring machine. This coordinate measurement provides the information about the factors relation to the gear accuracy such as pressure angle, tooth angle error, root cone angle, and apex to back and so on. Therefore, the values of the above factors were estimated and were compared with the theoretical ones, respectively.

Abstract Nowadays, simulators facilitate tasks performed daily by the engineers of different branches, including coordinate metrologists. Sometimes it is difficult or almost impossible to program a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) using standard methods. This happens, for example, during measurements of nano elements or in cases when measurements are performed on high-precision (accurate) measuring machines which work in strictly air-conditioned spaces and the presence of the operator in such room during the programming of CMM could cause an increase in temperature, which in turn could make it necessary to wait some time until conditions stabilize. This article describes functioning of a simulator and its usage during Coordinate Measuring Machine programming in the latter situation. Article also describes a general process of programming CMMs which ensures the correct machine performance after starting the program on a real machine. As an example proving the presented considerations, measurement of exemplary workpiece, which was performed on the machine working in the strictly air-conditioned room, was described
