Profile Measurement of Micro-aspheric Surface by a Small-scale Measuring Instrument

INTRODUCTION Along with the miniaturization of optical devices such as medical endoscopes and fiber-optic communication systems, micro-aspheric lenses (1 mm in diameter) have become very important parts [1]. Micro-aspheric lenses are necessary for downsizing and higher image quality. Form accuracy of micro-aspheric lenses is required to be better than 100 nm to make the most of those devises. H...

Contact and Non-contact Measurements of Grinding Pins

The paper presents the results of contact and non-contact measurements of external profiles of selected grinding pins. The measurements were conducted in order to choose the appropriate measuring technique in the case of the considered measurement task. In the case of contact measurements the coordinate measuring machine ACCURA II was applied. The used coordinate measuring machine was equipped ...

Designing an Intelligent, Non-Contact System for Controlling Neonate’s Body Temperature in Incubators

Background and Objective: Regulating body temperature of premature infants and preparing them a desirable physical condition for completing physical and mental development is essential. Using a system that guarantees neonate’s health in incubator at first birth hours is cardinal. Materials and Methods: In this method, a set of non-contact infrared sensors and microcontrollers regulate neo...

Profile Generation for Brittle Materials by Using Ultra-precision Lathe with On-machine Measurement System

Probe-Based Micro-Scale Manipulation and Assembly Using Force Feedback

Repeatable manipulation and assembly of micro-scale components is a critical capability for future developments in opto-electronics, hybrid microelectromechanical systems, and the integration of nano-scale devices into larger systems. This paper focuses on one particular part of this problem; the manipulation and assembly of microspheres using a single probe with force feedback. A sharp probe c...
