Abstract: An optical calibration and testing device for machine tools includes a light source unit, a beam splitter, and at least one photo detector. The light source emits a laser light hitting the beam splitter and is split into two beams. One is perpendicular to the foundation of the light source unit, and the other is parallel with the foundation so as to test straightness, inclination angle, verticalness, vertical column inclination, vertical column parallelism and guide bar inclination of a machine tool. If there is no tested error, the position of the testing light spot coincides with that of the initial light spot. If there is an error, the position of testing light spot varies according to the error.

Abstract: In slicing a crystal bar into silicon wafers, an average about 40% of silicon would be loss due to the widths of slicing wires themselves. The fact that the silicon slurry is discarded as sludge or discarded after recovering silicon carbide particles causes a large waste of cost. If the silicon slurry (40% of silicon) could be recovered as the raw material for growing silicon crystal bars, the production cost would be lowered. The recovery method of silicon slurry according to the present invention could effectively obtain silicon raw material after removing impurities, which could recover the raw material used in solar crystals, further capable of increasing the silicon crystal production and lowering the cost.

Abstract: A geometric error measuring device includes a measuring module and at least one (quadrant) photodiode. The measuring module has an emitting deice, which may emit at least one light ray; the photodiode may receive the incident ray. Also, the trajectory of the incident ray is parallel with the direction of measurement. If there is no geometric error, the position of the incident light ray will coincide with the position of the measured light ray. If there is a geometric error, the position of the measured light ray will not coincide with the position of the incident light ray. After the data are processed and calculated, geometric errors in straightness, squareness and rotational angles (pitch, yaw and roll) may be obtained. These geometric errors may then be corrected in the setup of a machine.
