3d Shape Measuring Instruments Using High Stiffness Vibration Touch Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel method to determine the shape of a 3D object is proposed. Instead of a flexible conventional touch probe, a high-stiffness vibration touch sensor was developed. The proposed sensor consisted of a piezo-electric device and thin probe, and generated feedback voltage according to the relative distance from the object. The structure of this sensor is simple, so that it can withstand high rates of acceleration during the measurement process. A nonlinear synchronous multi-axis control algorithm is also proposed. The effectiveness of our proposed sensor and control algorithm is demonstrated through experiments and simulations. Copyright c ©2005 IFAC

Development of a High-Precision Touch-Trigger Probe Using a Single Sensor "2279
To measure various components with nano-scale precision, a new high-precision touch-trigger probe using a single low-cost sensor for a micro-coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is presented in this paper. The sensor is composed of a laser diode, a plane mirror, a focusing lens, and a quadrant photo detector (QPD). The laser beam from the laser diode with an incident angle is reflected by the pla...

This study presents a new approach to control the nonlinear dynamics of an adaptive absorber using shape memory alloy (SMA) element. Shape memory alloys are classified as smart materials that can remember their original shape after deformation. Stress and temperature-induced phase transformations are two typical behaviors of shape memory alloys. Changing the stiffness associated with phase tran...
متن کاملForce sensor utilizing stiffness change of shape-memory polymer based on temperature
In this study, we propose a force sensor using a shape-memory polymer (SMP) whose stiffness varies according to the temperature. An SMP can be deformed above its glass transition temperature (Tg) by applying a small load. A deformed SMP maintains its shape when cooled below Tg and returns to its predefined shape when subsequently heated above Tg. The reversible change in the elastic modulus bet...
