Book Description

In this book attendees at the Fourth International Conference on Laser Metrology and Machine Performance present the latest research on technology and techniques in the field. Topics covered include machine condition monitoring, intelligent instrumentation, calibration and standards, laser calibration and metrology, gear and transmissions, simulation and algorithms, robot/AGV performance and calibration, quality in machine performance and calibration, quality machine performance and simulation and algorithms. Reports on the latest international calibration, certification and standardization procedures for enhancing machine performance and component quality are also featured. The LAMDAMAP series of conferences is based on the theme of improving the performance standards of precision engineering. They provide a unique forum for machine tool users, builders and academics to exchange ideas and to debate any areas for future detailed investigation. The proceedings for the latest conference include several papers on surface scanning and surface texture definition, reflecting the growing focus on on engineering performance of surfaces. A major change is the concentration of research effort on thermal errors on machine tools, in the push to produce higher quality products. Developments in ISO standards have continued to be a focus. There are several papers on developments in measuring techniques for machine tool errors, showing continuing progress in this area.
