Popis: Turned surface profiles can be divided into a periodic and a random component. The periodic component is a function of the tool shape and the feed rate. The random component is caused by machine vibrations. To monitor the turning process, the periodic component is the essential global microtopographic feature which reacts sensitively to tool wear and tool scars. A measuring method evaluating the periodic component of turned surfaces is developed based upon the model-based scatterometry. Using an optimized scattering geometry, the model-based scatterometry leads to an intensified mapping of the microtopographic surface features in the angular distribution of scattered light. The profile parameters measured with the introduced scattering technique agree well with the values obtained by stylus measurements. Hence, in the range of precision engineering ( R a ≤1.5 μ m) the mean profile of the dominant periodic component can be measured optically without scanning and without resorting to comparator standards.
