Complete, Practical, and Rapid Calibration of Multi-Axis Machine Tools Using a Laser Tracker

Volume 2, Issue 2

Philip Freeman

Many assembly and manufacturing processes can be viewed as moving a tool through a workspace using a kinematic mechanism; from the welding of car bodies, to the drilling of aircraft, to the machining of complex parts. Various unique mechanisms exist, but...

Integrating Certified Lengths to Strengthen Metrology Network Uncertainty

Volume 2, Issue 2

Joseph Calkins, Scott Sandwith

Calibrated and traceable scale lengths add significant value to 3D metrology networks. The primary benefit is to provide an observed physical standard with a documented uncertainty within the measurement process. This leads to an assumption that the object...
