Determining Laser Tracker Alignment Errors Using a Network Measurement

Volume 5, Issue 2

Ben Hughes, Wenjuan Sun, Alistair Forbes, Andrew Lewis

A laser tracker is a coordinate measuring system that tracks a moving target reflector and measures the position of the target in spherical coordinates (d, ?, ?). The radial distance, or range component, d, is typically measured by an interferometer (IFM)...

Calibration Using a Manifold and ?• Manifold

Volume 5, Issue 1

John W.Palmateer

A manifold is a measurement space. In small regions it is straight, square, and linear, which is commonly called Euclidean, but a manifold will often be more complex over larger regions, that is, not straight, square, and linear across large segments of...
