This paper describes the on-machine surface form evaluation of an ultra-precision cylinder for the fabrication by the compensation process. In this study, the surface form error of an ultra-precision cylinder, which was fabricated by the ultra-precision diamond turning machine with a single diamond cutting tool, was evaluated by using two capacitance-type displacement probes. Based on the measurement results, the compensation process was conducted. Since the measurement was carried out on the machine without re-mounting of the workpiece, additional fabrication for compensation process can be conducted precisely.

A novel method of dimensional measurement using machine vision, which is called Landmark Tracking System, has been developed. Its advantages come form tracking only the bright, standard shaped "landmarks" which are made from retroreflective sheets. In the design of the LTS, it is essential to know the relationship between optical parameters and their influence on system performance. Such optical parameters include the brightness of landmark image, the illumination system design, and the choice of imaging optics. And the performance of retroreflective material also plays important role in the LTS performances. Influences of such optical parameters on LTS's dimensional measurement characteristics are investigated, with respect to the retroreflective material, the imaging optics, and the illumination system. Measuremtn errors due to parameter variations are also analyzed. Experiments are performed with a LTS prototype. Retroreflective characteristics are verified, and the LTS's measurement performances are measured in the form of repeatability and accuracy. Experimental results shgow that the LTS has repeatability better than 1/30,000 of a field of view(30 degrees), and accuracy better tha 1/3,000 of a field fo view.d fo view.

The finishing process for die is an important process because it has influence on final quality of products. Recently s study on development of 5-axis die automated finishing machine has been progressed. But die must be moved from the cutting machine to the die automated finishing machine. So manufacturing cost and time increase and machining error occurs by transfer. So, in this study, a 3-axis machining center was applied to die finishing. Because cutting tool can be changed to finishing tool by ATC, both of cutting and finishing process are possible on the machine. However, this application results in the decrease of finishing for the improvement of form accuracy. So this study focused on the generation of finishing tool path suitable to 3-axis die finishing for the improvement of form accuracy. The form accuracy evaluation is performed by the measurement of removal depth using a stylus profilometer. From the result, it is confirmed that form accuracy was improved less than 2$\mu$m of removal depth error.

In the process of optical parts machining, polishing has been applied. Traditional polishing process is suitable for spherical optical parts. But it is very difficult to apply traditional process for aspheric optical parts. Nowadays, as growing needs for aspherical optic parts, many researches have been conducted. In this study, we developed computer controlled polishing system which consists of three major parts of active pressure control for correcting polishing process, mechanical on-machine measurement for rough polishing, and optical on-machine measurement for finish polishing, respectively. In this paper, a systematic stretegy for correcting polishing process, pressure control scheme for polishing tool, and on-machine measurement methods for automated and precise polishing are suggested. The information about developed machine is also included.

The acceleration of the performance of machine tools influences the development of the semi-conductor and optical technology as the development of NC and measurement technology. We can mention that a traction role of the acceleration for the development like that depends on the development of the measurement technics Stylus instrument method, STM, SEM, Laser interferometer method which are used for measuring the quasi-static error of machine tools. Because the measurement has been done to unload condition without considering of mechanical stiffness in the case of machining center as we measure the quasi-static error of machine tools on general studies, people who works on the spot has many problems on the data value. Therefor we will help working more accurately on the spot by measuring, analyzing, displaying the deflection of the table and support shaft when we load on the table and the support shaft of machining center using laser interferometer. Also we try to settle new conception of the measurement method and more accurate grasp of the deflection tendency by verifing the tendency of the error measured through the comparison of the simulated error using ANSYS, a common finite element analysis program, which is able to measure heat deformation, material deformation, and error resulted form this study.

A feature-based inspection planning system is proposed in this research to develop more efficient measuring methodology for the OMM(On-Machine Measurement) or CMM(coordinate Measuring Machine) for complicated workpiece having many primitive form features. This paper is proposed solution that optimum inspection sequence of the objective features. The sequences are determined by analyzing the feature information such as the nearest relationship and the possible probe-approach direction(PAD) of the features, and forming feature groups. A series of heuristic rules are developed to accomplish it. Also, each feature is decomposed into its constituent geometric elements for inspection process, and then the number of sampling points, location of the measuring points, optimum probing path are determined.

For the development of compensation machining program, ultra precision grinding used in ultra precision machine and corrective machining was studied. We explored a new rough grinding technique on optical material such as zerodur. The facility used is a polishing machine with a custom grinding module and a range of diamond resin bond wheel. Surface roughness and form accuracy are measured by surface measurement equipment(Form Talysurf series2). Our compensation machining program has complied with a target of producing surface roughness better than $0.05{\mu}m$ Ra and form accuracy of around $0.05{\mu}m$ Rt and has been unveiled as a work-hour model.

This paper describes a novel method to surface large optics mirror with an extremely high hardness, which could replace the high cost of the repetitive off-line measurement steps and the large ultra-precision grinding machine with ultra-positioning control of 10 nm resolution. A lot of diamond pellet to be attached on the convex aluminum base consists of a grinding tool for the concave large mirror, and the tool was pressured down on the large mirror blank. The tool motion at an interval on the spiral path was controlled with each feed rate as the dwell time in the conventional computer-controlled polishing. The shape to be surfaced was measured directly by a touch probe on the machine without any separation of the mirror blank. Total 40 iterative steps of the surfacing and measurement could demonstrate the form error of RMS $7.8{\mu}m$, surface roughness of Ra $0.2{\mu}m$ for the mirror blank with diameter of 1 m and spherical radius of curvature of 5400 mm.
