This article discusses a comparative analysis of the wear and quality of planer knife blades used in wood planers. The novelty in this work is the use of a simple coordinate measuring machine with a vision system to assess the wear of the cutting edges of planer knives. The primary objective of the research described in this paper was to verify whether the wear of the cutting edge of planer knives can be measured quickly and accurately using an optical coordinate measuring machine with a vision system. To date, contact profilometry methods have been used for this purpose, which require a specialist apparatus and qualified measuring equipment operators and are expensive and time-consuming. The research presented in this work was conducted on twelve planer knives. The condition and wear of the working surfaces of the tested knives were assessed using an optical digital microscope. The wear of the cutting edge of the knives was measured using two methods: the contact profilometry method and an optical coordinate measuring machine equipped with a vision system. The edge profiles and their parameters obtained by the optical method were compared to the results of measurements with a stylus profilometer. Based on the research and analyses conducted, it was found that the optical method used in this research significantly shortens the time of measuring the wear of the cutting edges of planer knives. In addition, this method has a wider measurement range, and the obtained measurement results are characterized by lower measurement uncertainty. Full article

Modern engine bearing materials encounter the challenge of functioning under conditions of mixed lubrication, low viscosity oils, downsizing, start–stop engines, potentially leading to metal-to-metal contact and, subsequently, premature bearing failure. In this work, two types of polymer overlays were applied to the bearing surface to compensate for extreme conditions, such as excessive loads and mixed lubrication. Two different polymer overlays, created through a curing process on a conventional engine bearing surface with an approximate thickness of 13 µm, were investigated for their friction and wear resistances under a 30 N load using a pin-on-disc setup. The results indicate that the newly developed polymer overlay (NDP, PAI-based coating) surface has a coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.155 and a wear volume loss of 0.010 cm3. In contrast, the currently used polymer overlay (CPO) in this field shows higher values with a COF of 0.378 and a wear volume loss of 0.024 cm3, which is significantly greater than that of the NDP. It was found that, in addition to accurately selecting the ratios of solid lubricants, polymer resins, and wear-resistant hard particle additives (metal powders, metal oxides, carbides, etc.) within the polymer coating, the effective presence of a transfer film providing low friction on the counter surface also played a crucial role.
