Identification and analysis of optimal method parameters of the V-block waviness measurements

Abstract

Abstract At the Kielce University of Technology, a new method of waviness measurement of cylindrical surfaces has been developed. The article deals with the research conducted to find the optimal V-block method parameters that can be used in a measuring device applied to waviness measurement of cylindrical surfaces. In order to keep high measuring accuracy of V-block method, all detectability coefficients which are function of V-block method parameters should not be negative. For this purpose computations were carried out in order to find such angular parameters that can be easily applied in measuring device and allow for obtaining positive detectability coefficients. Results of the study presented in this paper make it possible to modify the design of the measuring device. According to the authors, it will result in increasing the accuracy of V-block waviness measurement of cylindrical parts.
