At that time, he was fac- ing the problem of measuring some complex pipe runs, of only 6 mm diameter, for the Olympus engines used on Concorde. The pipes had to fit accurately between solid mountings, but the diffi- culty came in measuring them once they had been manufactured.

Touch Trigger Probes main characteristics Independently of the technology used, the principle is based the generation (or interruption) of an electrical signal at the the probes tip touches the part to be measured. This generally called trigger signal, is sent to the interface that verts it to be read by a CNC or a CMM. At the moment that machine receives the trigger signal, it instantly freezes and ve the axis values for calculations and reports generation (see xample in Fig. 1). The trigger signal transmission from the TTP to the probe ace can be established using basically three different com- technologies: infrared, radio frequencies or a simple cable. Infrared communication is used for conventional applications standard lathes and milling machines; this technology pro- high reliability, high transmission speed rates, low noise and low implementation costs. It is close to a fool- system, except when probe and receiver are out of visual as when the probe is deep within a bore or other depres- within the workpiece. For these cases and applications, a frequency system is recommended, (Tooling & Production ). Wire cable communication is used for tool setter probes are mounted and fixed on the machine tables. Probing cycles and programming According to Modern Machine Shop On Line 3, few profes- will dispute the merits of probing for speeding part setup, tool offsets and performing in-process inspection, at least theory. In practice, however, probe systems often have been wed as difficult to use and expensive to buy.

Also, according to Modern Machine Shop On Line 6, CNC are, in general, very accurate and extremely repeat- They compare favorably with the accuracy and repeata- of CMMs of similar size. With some care during the inspection process, the factors that lead to interdependence measurement error and cutting error can be minimized. Technologies used to generate the trigger signal According to Shen and Moon 7, there is no trigger sig- generated when the probe tip touches the workpiece. The will continue to move toward and the force between the tip and the workpiece will increase, causing a physical (e.g., resistance) to reach a threshold setting. A trigger is generated when the physical quantity exceeds a thresh- limit in the sensing system. The travel distance between touch instant and the trigger instant is known as probe pre- vel. Mainly caused by bending deflection of the stylus shaft, accounts for the majority of probe errors. Basically there are four different principles used to gener- the trigger signal: electrical contact (kinematic contact), (laser interferometry), deformation (strain-gauges) and the effect. Kinematic contact Currently, this is the most used Touch Trigger Probe Developed by David McMurtry, this principle rev- the use of the coordinate measurement machines. According to Fig. 2, it is a kinematic re-seating mecha- based on three small cylindrical pieces that stay seated six other cylinders/spheres by the pressure caused by the M. Del Guerra, R.T.

The acquisition cost of these equipments is relatively high if compared to other systems that provide similar benefits.

An electrical current flows through the three seats in series. When the probe moves away from its stable position, one or more of the seat breaks and the increase in resistance is immediately electronically (Mayer et al. 8 and Reid 9). After the is done, when the probe tip moves back from the the probe spring forces the mechanism back to the initial position, re-establishing the standard resistance. System advantages From the main advantages presented by this system, it is the simplicity of the system, robustness of the assembly, widespread and studied principle. System disadvantages Due to the electro-mechanical assembly, kinematic probes susceptible to the consuming and corrosion of its electric Besides, the main typical characteristic of this kind of probe related to the pre-travel variation. Since stylus bending prior trigger is the major constituent of probe pre-travel, this char- varies according to changes in touch directions (Reid ). This behavior happens due to the fact that the internal seats in three “V-Blocks” separated by a 120 angle, the force necessary to generate the “trigger signal” to ary according to the approaching direction (Kim and Chung ). Miguel et al. 12 also say that the dynamic force necessary open one of the electric contacts depends on the approaching elocity. According to Shen and Moon 7, same Touch Trigger Probes may show different pre-travel variation behavior due to acture and small changes during the assembly process. dif Heidenhain 5.3.1. to pro 5.3.2. the first measured ilarly the tems is very well known and the brand that manufactures is associated with very high quality. Strain-gauges Strain-gauges probes deals with analogical information ving from the electrical resistance variation produced when stylus touch the part to be measured. To use this technique as a digital switch, it is necessary an signal conditioning and treatment, establishing the from which the “trigger signal” is generated. Advantages One of the main advantages of this technique is that the vel variation is much lower than on kinematic probes the stylus deformation itself is responsible for trigging event. For this reason, this kind of probe is extremely accu- and makes possible the use of stylus as long as 200 mm Fig. 3). The probe uses solid state electronics, providing long life and w wear. Based on analog signal calibration, these systems are to detect contact forces of 0.2 N. Disadvantages The disadvantages associated with these probes rely on the acquisition cost, extremely advanced electronics that makes very delicate equipment and the fact that there are very few lit- and information specifically approaching these systems. Laser These probes operate with an optical switch as sensor. A lens collimates the light generated from an LED and focuses onto a differential photocell. When the stylus is deflected, the ferential photocell produces a trigger signal, (Dr. Johannes 13). Advantages One of the main advantages of these equipments is related its cost, relatively low if compared to other equipments that vide similar performance. Disadvantages To have a change on the differential photocell point where collimated light happens and generates the “trigger signal”, of all, a force between the stylus tip and the part to be will be needed to deflect the internal mechanism, sim- to what happens with “kinematic probes” regarding to opening of its electrical contacts.

Piezoelectric sensor Piezoelectric probes are based on the principle for which an potential difference is generated between the two faces a piezoelectric crystal when it is pressed. Using this physical it was possible to design a probe able to generate “trigger signal” from the electric potential generated at the the probe stylus reaches the part. Advantages They are extremely accurate and repetitive systems. Like probes, pre-travel variation is much lower than on probes and it is possible to calibrate the system to be ve to forces in the order of 0.2 N. Disadvantages They may be sensitive to some low frequency noises like col- start of motors, high spindle accelerations/decelerations, vibration, etc. Proposal of a model based on a simple electric contact This work aims to use basic and well-known technologies design and manufacture a low cost, robust and accurate ouch Trigger Probe able to measure external diameters on CNC For that, precise mechanical machined parts and assem- were designed and applied to develop a system able to be on the major Touch Trigger Probes applications. The system The working principle of the proposed equipment consists on an electrical contact between the stylus (grounded) and internal target (Positive Pole). At this particular moment, the Fig. process. an appropriate input of the CNC. Due to the fact that the carriage will continue to move by after the “trigger signal” happens, the target should have drawback mechanism able to adsorb this movement, assuring surface integrity (Fig. 4). Consequently, the repeatability of the developed Touch Trig- Probe is directly associated with the ability of the drawback to precisely seats back to its original position after a event occurs. If the drawback system does not work , there will be a change on the probes length preset a measurement and the diameter of the next part measured be showed as different than the real.

Illustration of the experiment procedure used to determine the probe R&R and a photo of the probe inspecting the part. a Siemens 810D, able to provide the measurement functions needed for the experiment. To determine the total system R&R (probe + machine tool), the experiment was accomplished taking a part of which diam- eter was previously machined and normalized. After that, a turning operation was made using a carbide cut- ting tool VBMT160404UC6010, cutting 0.010 mm from the part diameter, taking all the necessary care with the cutting parame- ters to reduce the tool wear during the process. The part was then inspected using the Touch Trigger Probe developed, probing 60 consecutive times at the same point. Also a manual measurement was made at that point using a regular micrometer. The data were saved on the CNC and downloaded to a PC. The turning operation and consecu- tive measurements procedure was repeated five times, obtain- ing five data samples relative to each one of the diameters (Fig. 5). According to QS9000 14, one of the most effective meth- ods to statistically analyze process and equipments is the method for computing the repeatability and reproducibility (R&R). The range and average method to calculate R&R computes the total measurement system variability, and allows the total mea- surement system variability to be separated into repeatability, reproducibility and part variation. The repeatability of the mea- surement system may be estimated from the average of the means collected by the same operator, while the reproducibility may be estimated from the range of variation of the average results col- lected by different operators.
