In order to further study the phenomenon and mechanism of Triboluminescence (TL),which is the emission of light by the application of mechanical energy to a solid,a detection device was developed.The detection system is composed of three parts,which are the mechanical system,the control system and the measuring system.By using the system,the intensity and the spectrum of TL under different velocities,loads and friction pairs were measured.It is found that the repeated measurement results are stable and regular by conducting the TL experiments under different velocities,loads and friction pairs,which proves the feasibility of the TL detection device.
