Highlighting the latest technologies and techniques, this book features the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Laser Metrology, CMM and Machine Tool Performance (LAMDAMAP). Interaction between researchers, designers, instrumentation/sensor manufacturers, machine builders and end users is emphasised. Areas covered include: laser calibration; dimension and surface metrology; machine calibration and artefacts; machine condition monitoring; component form and surface integrity; intelligent instrumentation; international calibration standards; gear and transmission metrology; control systems; cutting technology practice; and soft gauging.

Reporting on the latest international standards, calibration and certification procedures, this volume contains the official proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Laser Metrology, Machine Tool, CMM and Robot Performance. Areas highlighted include: machine tool condition monitoring and calibration; co-ordination of metrology and its application to manufacturing performance and industrial inspection; new techniques in performance assessment and verification; numerical and computational tools.

This text presents the latest technology for assessing the performance of machine tools, coordinate measuring machines and robotics. It also details procedures involving international calibration, certification and standardization, and introduces the gear and transmission metrology section.

This collection of papers from the Fourth International Conference on Laser Metrology and Machine Performance reflects the growing emphasis on engineering performance of surfaces. There is also coverage of research efforts involving thermal errors on machine tools. Developments in ISO standards also continue to be highlighted. The papers come from acknowledged experts working in industry, research establishments and academia in many countries, and cover the following topical areas: calibration systems; condition monitoring; machine tool standards; thermal errors of machine tools; hexapod calibration; gear measurement; surface measurements; machine tool errors; machine tool measurement systems and machine tool performance.
