  • Patent number: 9874429
    Abstract: A three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine includes a base, a moving mechanism provided on the base, and a probe moved by the moving mechanism, the three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine measures coordinates of a surface position of an object to be measured by using the probe, the moving mechanism includes: a linear guide using a mechanical bearing; and an air bearing mechanism provided in parallel to the linear guide, one of ends of the moving part is attached to a linear moving unit that moves by the linear guide and the other is attached to the air moving part so that the other end can swing with respect to the air moving part, and the air bearing mechanism absorbs a difference in the height change between the linear guide and the air bearing mechanism by the air bearing.

  • Patent number: 9612218
    Abstract: This method for determining whether an acidic aqueous solution is usable or not comprises: a first detection step (S21) in which the solution concentration of an acidic aqueous solution resulting from pickling is determined; a second detection step (S23a, S23b) in which the concentration of a specific metal in the acidic aqueous solution resulting from pickling is determined, the metal having been contained in the coating layer; a concentrated-solution addition step (S25b) in which in cases when the solution concentration is equal to or less than a predetermined first threshold, a concentrated acidic aqueous solution is newly added; and a determination step (S24a, S24b) in which in cases when the concentration of the specific metal is equal to or higher than a predetermined second threshold, it is determined that the acidic aqueous solution is unusable.

  • Patent number: 8876978
    Abstract: An object is to reduce changes in mechanical properties of a gas turbine blade base material during repair or regeneration of a gas turbine blade. For this purpose, a gas turbine blade after being operated is washed by being immersed into a strong alkaline washing solution, and the gas turbine blade after being washed with the strong alkaline washing solution is washed with water. The gas turbine blade after being washed with water is then washed by being immersed into a weak acid washing solution, and the gas turbine blade after being washed with the weak acid washing solution is subjected to heat treatment. The gas turbine blade after the heat treatment is then immersed into a strong acid washing solution, whereby the coating formed on the surface of the gas turbine blade is removed.
