The quality of production of metallurgical bar stock, in particular tubes, is assessed based on many production parameters including outer cross-section (diameter) and ovality, which are also specified by European standard EN 13 508. Tubes need to be measured as soon as possible, ideally immediately after the rolling mill during their production, so that any defects may be corrected in due time and thus (…)
Journal hydrodynamic bearings are used for their high radial load capacity and operation at high speeds. The only disadvantage is the excitation of vibrations, called an oil whirl, after crossing a threshold of the rotational speed. The whirl can be suppressed using the controlled motion of the non-rotating loose bushing which is actuated by piezo-actuators. The displacement of the piezo-actuators is go (…)

Micro-indentation creeps of modified polyamide were measured using modern machinery DSI method (Depth- (…)
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a tough material, which is used for engineering purposes (e.g. covers of electronic and engine parts). On the other hand, styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) is a brittle transparent material with good optical properties, it is used for household items, such as bowls and boxes in refrigerators. Both of these materials can be loaded by impact forces, for example, fall of (…)
Diamond – the chemically metastable form of carbon at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure – has become the standard material used for cutting tools. Its specific cutting properties also correspond to its difficult machinability, making it one of the most difficult-to-machine materials. With regard to this, the optimal processing technology, sharpening parameters, soldering conditions as w (…)

In recent years, optical digitalization is increasingly being used for the inspection of the dimensional qualities of parts. Different products from various materials used in 3D printers are scanned - metal, plastic, composite or special materials. The surface may be of a different color or roughness, may be glossy or matte. Practice suggests that the surface properties of the scanned part can significa (…)
