| 2010-08-19 | Rudolf Thalmann | METAS | I am the project coordinator. Please contact me in case of any question regarding participation. | |
| 2010-08-11 | Manfred Prantl | Alicona Imaging GmbH | We are the developer and manufacturer of the InfiniteFocus 3D metrology system. The InfiniteFocus uses FocusVariation technology as its measurement principle. This technology is escpecially well suited to capture the geometry of micro components as it can measure complex shapes with steep slopes. Additionally, we actively work on the fusion of multiple measurement from different view points in order to arrive at a more complete 3D model of the examined specimen. We term this fusion of multiple measurements as Real3D technology.
We are interested in a collaboration within this research project in order to evaluate and improve our technology for the demanding task of micro-CMM. |

| 2010-08-10 | Qiangxian Huang | Hefei University of Technology | We are the only university laboratory which has an on-going project of developing the micro tactile probe (analog range 20x20x20um) and the Micro-CMM (stroke 50x50x20mm) in China. Under the collaboration and supervision of Prof. KC Fan from National Taiwan University, this machine of Abbe error-free is under assembly and will be completed for test run by the end of 2010. We also have facilities such as a clean room, two clean chambers, two triple beam interferometer (SIOS), AFM, Microscopes, etc. | After I received my PhD degree from Hefei University of Technology in Precision Instrumentation, I went to Japan to study the nanotechnolgy for three years. After coming back to my university in 2007, I took charge of this micro-CMM project until now. Last year I visited PTB and TU Ilmenau, and this year to NPL, to exchange ideas of key technology on Micro-CMM.

| 2010-08-10 | Kuang-Chao Fan | National Taiwan University | We have the capabilities to design and fabricate the tactile probe, optical probe, and Micro-CMM. We have a prototype machine in use. Some related facilities we already have are: laser interferometer, industrial grade CMM, AFM, white light microscope, confocal microscope, laser focus probe, etc. I have 15 research students. I don’t need any budget from EU. Through this cooperation project I can apply the necessary budget sponsored by National Science Council of Taiwan. | I, at the Precision Metrology Lab of National Taiwan University, have developed a novel tactile probe and a novel Micro-CMM for measuring miniature components. A ball-tip stylus has also been developed in the past years with the probe ball diameter as small as 100μm to 50μm successfully fabricated by material fusion and solidification process. This tactile probe has been installed in the said Micro-CMM for performance tests. At the current stage, I have a strong intention to study the methods of probe accuracy calibration, the Micro-CMM linear error and volumetric error calibration, the probe wear and elastic deformation due to contact force, a new non-contact type optical probe, etc. To implement these methods, some internationally recognized artefacts are deemed necessary. I understand that in this topic (SRT-02i) some artefacts (1-D, 2-D, 3-D, non-profiles) will be developed by the contractual partner. Therefore, I would like to be a joint collaborator for having the opportunity to join in regular meetings and workshops. Through this participation, I can not only share the knowledge of proper calibration methods using artefacts but also contribute my experience of fabricating the small probe balls to the team members. It is known that artefacts may also have systematic and random errors. How to compensate for these errors or develop the error separation methodology is an important issue to be discussed. Moreover, how to place the artefacts at proper positions within the working volume and how to fuse sensors’ data are also very important issues to ensure the correctness of unanimously agreed calibration procedure. Since there are so many important scientific and technological objectives to be studied, my experience on this subject has more than ten years, and I already have good contact with some leading research institutes in Europe (such as NPL, PTB), I have a strong intention to take part in this ”Multi-sensor data fusion in dimensional metrology” project as an international collaborator. |
| 2010-07-13 | Henny Spaan | IBS Precision Engineering | IBS Precision Engineering proposes to participate in this project as a contractual partners. With our Triskelion and Isara technology we offer an unique R&D platform to the project, essential for proving the traceability of the tactile measurements and continuing our development of ultra small tips.
IBS PE will offer to the project the availability of the Isara 400 equipment including needed probes and cleanroom facilities. |
