A thermal measurement system includes a temperature-controlled chamber configured to house a Device Under Test (DUT) and a first temperature sensor to measure an external temperature of the DUT inside the temperature-controlled chamber. The thermal measurement system further includes a heating device for heating a test material outside the temperature-controlled chamber and a controller configured to control the heating device to heat the test material to the external temperature measured by the first temperature sensor of the DUT inside the temperature-controlled chamber. In one aspect, a thermethesiometer indicates a skin effect of a surface temperature of the test material outside the temperature-controlled chamber.

Traditionally, benchmarking of asset performance involves comparing actual performance with ideal values that correspond to test conditions which may not be realized in practice leading to inappropriate ranking of the assets. Systems and methods of the present disclosure use condition-aware reference curves for estimating the maximum possible operating efficiencies (under specific operating conditions) instead of the theoretical maximum efficiencies. The reference curves are received from the manufacturer or obtained from on-site test results. Benchmarking is then performed based on two dimensions, viz., an inter-asset metric and an intra-asset metric that are analogous to the first law and second law of thermodynamics respectively. The two-dimensional benchmarking then helps in identifying inefficient assets that may be analyzed further for finding the root cause. Tracking the performance of assets over time greatly helps in operations and maintenance, and thus reducing downtime of systems and accordingly the operating costs.

An optical measurement method includes steps of: a) providing a lens unit, a sleeve unit, and an object that is for emitting a light beam; and b) operating the lens unit so that the light beam is received by the lens unit.

A method for determining the preload value of the screw based on thermal error and temperature rise weighting. Firstly, thermal behavior test of the feed shaft under typical working conditions is carried out to obtain the maximum thermal error and the temperature rise at the key measuring points in each preloaded state. Then, a mathematical model of the preload value of the screw and the maximum thermal error is established; meanwhile, another mathematical model of the preload value of the screw and the temperature rise at the key measuring points is also established. Finally, the optimal preload value of the screw is obtained. The thermal error of the feed shaft and the temperature rise of the moving components are comprehensively considered, improving the processing accuracy and accuracy stability of the machine tool, and ensuring the service life of the moving components such as bearings.
