چکیده
This paper describes the development of an analytical model to describe a novel three-axis vibrating micro-scale probe for micro-coordinate measuring machines (micro-CMMs). The micro-CMM probe is vibrated in three axes, in order to address the problems inherent with microand nano-scale co-ordinate measurements caused by surface interaction forces. These surface forces have been investigated and a mathematical model describing an ideal probing situation has been developed. The vibration amplitude required for the probe to overcome the surface interaction forces has been calculated using this model. The results of initial vibration experiments are reported and the suitability of the probe to counteract the surface interaction forces is confirmed.

متن کاملPerformance Assessment of a New Variable Stiffness Probing System for Micro-CMMs
When designing micro-scale tactile probes, a design trade-off must be made between the stiffness and flexibility of the probing element. The probe must be flexible enough to ensure sensitive parts are not damaged during contact, but it must be stiff enough to overcome attractive surface forces, ensure it is not excessively fragile, easily damaged or sensitive to inertial loads. To address the n...

In dynamic atomic force microscopes the primary physical quantities being measured are the amplitude/phase or amplitude/frequency of the vibrating force probe. Topographic images with spatial resolutions down to the atomic scale can be obtained by mapping these measurements across the sample surface under feedback control. During the imaging process the vibrating tip is observing tip–sample int...
