  • Publication number: 20150094964
    Abstract: A linear elastic modulus measurement method and a linear elastic modulus measurement device can reduce external disturbances such as oscillation and electrical noise, and accurately and stably measure the linear elastic modulus of a linear elastic body even in the case where damping due to viscous stress is large. The measurement device computes the oscillation velocity (dx/dt) of an oscillator from the displacement of the oscillator brought into contact with the linear elastic body, and multiplies dx/dt by a linear velocity feedback gain to generate a feedback control signal. The measurement device applies, to the oscillator, a force proportional to the oscillation velocity of the oscillator by the feedback control signal, to cause the oscillator to self-oscillate. The measurement device computes the linear elastic modulus of the linear elastic body from the frequency when the self-oscillation of the oscillator is detected and the mass of the oscillator.

  • Publication number: 20140362387
    Abstract: A distance measurement holder is attached to the main shaft of a machine tool. A laser beam emitted from a holder main body is reflected by a reflection mirror section fixed to a tapered sleeve, and reflected by a measurement target, and then received by a light receiving section provided in the holder main body. The tapered sleeve is fit into the main shaft and supported to be rotatable relative to the holder main body. The distance measurement holder is shaped such that the angle of a side surface of the reflection mirror section changes in accordance with the rotation angle of the main shaft. The distance measurement holder thus configured determines the distance between the main shaft and the measurement target to determine whether or not a jig, a workpiece, the main shaft, and a cutting tool interfere with each other in the range of a rapid positioning motion specified in an NC program.

  • Patent number: 8558533
    Abstract: According to a reception passive intermodulation measurement method of the present invention, a device under test is set to the mismatching condition, and a standing wave is generated on a transmission line where the sample is connected. Since the tip of the transmission line is short-circuited using the sample, the sample is positioned at the anti-node of the standing wave, and test signals are applied at a high current density. System noise is calibrated with the tip of the transmission line being open. Since impedance matching is not required and terminators are not employed, a large measurement dynamic range is obtained without being affected by passive intermodulation that is generated in terminators. The sample is very small, and an arbitrary shape can be selected. The property measurement is enabled for a wide range of materials, regardless of a conductive material, an insulating material and a magnetic material.
