The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feng, X., Lawes, S., & Kinnell, P. K. The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips. Presented at 15th International Conference of the European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology

Contamination adhered to the surface of a µCMM stylus tip significantly impairs the dimensional accuracy of the CMM systems, potentially causing dimensional errors that are over ten times larger than the uncertainty of a modern µCMM. To reduce such e... Read More about The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips.

Evaluation of the capabilities and damage risk of cleaning methods for micro-CMM stylus tips (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feng, X., Lawes, S., & Kinnell, P. K. Evaluation of the capabilities and damage risk of cleaning methods for micro-CMM stylus tips. Presented at 4M/ICOMM2015 Conference

The dimensional accuracy of a micro-CMM is significantly affected by contamination adhered to the stylus tip during use. Contaminant particles can cause dimensional errors that are orders of magnitude greater than those reported in the literature. To...
