Linear / Angular Measurement
Setup for Yaw (rotation about spindle) measurement for motion
in Y axis The Combination Linear/Angular Kit reduces cost by using the
angular interferometer to make linear measurements. Linear measurements can be made at multiple points along an
axis to measure either linear displacement or velocity. These linear
displacement measurements can be used to assess the capabilities of a machine to
position at a target, with information relating to repeatability and errors due
to direction of approach (backlash) if multiple bi-directional approaches are
performed. In some cases, such as CNC machine tools or Digital Readout,
positioning systems can be error compensated to improve accuracy. Angular measurements can be made along an axis at a series of
points in order to record the rotations perpendicular to the axis motion. The
yaw and pitch motions of an axis can cause large positional errors away from the
axis of rotation. The positional errors due to angular rotation increase as
distance from the axis of rotation increase. Accurate measurement of angular
motions can be important in fault diagnosis in machine tools.
