The calibration of areal surface topography measuring instruments is of high relevance to estimate the measurement uncertainty and to guarantee the traceability of the measurement results. Calibration structures for optical ...

The re-contouring process of turbine blades is performed subsequently to the material deposit and restores the shape of the blade. Each process within the process chain has to be adapted to an individual repair case depending ...

Geometric modelling is an established approach for gathering detailed knowledge about the chronological sequence of process conditions and for determining technological values of machining processes such as milling, turning, ...

Ball nose end mills are usually applied during 5-axes machining of high functional parts especially in the aerospace industry. The systematical study of the relationship between process forces and kinematics, surface ...

In this paper, an innovative method for an automated process planning and quality control of the coating process of luxury yachts is presented. In order to show how aesthetic quality is achieved, the current manufacturing ...

This paper presents a prediction model for ground surfaces that uses the actual grinding wheel topography to perform a grinding simulation. Precise knowledge of expected machined surfaces plays an important role in process ...

While regenerating damaged components, e.g. compressor blades, the removal of excess weld material called re-contouring often determines the surface integrity including the residual stress state. A load-specific residual ...
