A Best-Fit Method to Maximize Conformance to Tolerance in Surface Coordinate Metrology

Volume 7, Issue 1

Ahmad Barari

This article discusses that the deviation zone of a profile cannot be computed only by using the Euclidian distances of the discrete measured points from substitute geometry and without considering the desired tolerance zone of the profile. The importance...

Enhanced Surface Metrology

Volume 7, Issue 1

Russell M. Kurtz, Ryder Nesbitt

The constant search for more accurate measurement generally leads to higher cost, greater complexity, and/or devices that do not lend themselves to manufacturing environments. For example, surface metrology can be accomplished by a number of methods,...

Mathematical Corrections Applied to Laser Radar Measurements Made Through a Cryogenic Vacuum Chamber Window

Volume 6, Issue 2

Joseph Hayden, Bente Eegholm, David Kubalak, Theodore Hadjimichael, Raymond Ohl, Randal Telfer

Laser radar (LR) measurements were made through a vacuum chamber window for cryogenic metrology of targets attached to two different alignment fixtures used for the James Webb Space Telescope. The range and pointing errors imparted on the LR beam,...
