Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is the "Low clearance machined part mating system." This invention is a device, system, and method designed to generate low clearance slidably mated parts. The system includes a measurement device equipped with a non-contact micrometer that can indicate opposing edge data. It also features rotational and linear air bearing slides, along with a holding device. The non-contact micrometer allows for the measurement of various parameters of a first part, including its diameter and the difference between an edge of the first part and a reference point. The coincidental measurements are utilized to determine the size and geometric errors associated with the first part after suitable error elimination. In an exemplary system, a processing machine may be instructed by the measurement device to remove material from a second part. This ensures that when the first part and the second part are mated together, they achieve a very low clearance tolerance level, potentially as little as 0.00005 inches or less.
