Six-Point Method for Spatial Angle Measurement of a Hydraulic-Driven Underwater Manipulator Volume 9, Issue 2 Xi Zhang, Xu Zhang, Weiqing Chu, Dinghao Feng In this article, we demonstrate the development of a multiple-view stereo measurement system to determine the maximum rotational range of joints for a seven-function underwater manipulator. If a marker is attached to the rotating link of a joint, the...

Linear Laser Performance: How Distance, Environment, and Setup Affect a Laser Tracker’s Linear Accuracy Volume 9, Issue 2 Mateusz Turolski, Lukasz Turolski Calibration of laser trackers using precision rails and a reference interferometer (one with no angular encoders) is the most precise way of evaluating linear performance, yet only a handful of institutions and companies use such equipment. In addition,...

Common-Path Method for Laser Tracker Ranging Calibration Volume 9, Issue 1 Chris Blackburn, Daniel Sawyer, Craig Shakarji In this article, we present an alternative to the back-to-back method of testing laser tracker ranging systems. Our approach uses a common air path for both the measurement and reference laser beams. This technique allows for more accurate determination of...

The Uncertainty of Coordinate Metrology as a Function of Sampling Strategy Volume 9, Issue 1 Ahmad Barari, Farzaneh Kaji The main objective in all metrology processes is to limit uncertainty. The objective of coordinate metrology processes is not any different. A coordinate metrology process is successful only if it reduces the level of uncertainty in geometric and...
