Error Analysis and Compensation of a Laser Measurement System for Simultaneously Measuring Five-Degree-of-Freedom Error Motions of Linear Stages

A robust laser measurement system (LMS), consisting of a sensor head and a detecting part, for simultaneously measuring five-degree-of-freedom (five-DOF) error motions of linear stages, is proposed and characterized. For the purpose of long-travel measurement, all possible error sources that would a...

description A robust laser measurement system (LMS), consisting of a sensor head and a detecting part, for simultaneously measuring five-degree-of-freedom (five-DOF) error motions of linear stages, is proposed and characterized. For the purpose of long-travel measurement, all possible error sources that would affect the measurement accuracy are considered. This LMS not only integrates the merits of error compensations for the laser beam drift, beam spot variation, detector sensitivity variation, and non-parallelism of dual-beam that have been resolved by the author’s group before, but also eliminates the crosstalk errors among five-DOF error motions in this study. The feasibility and effectiveness of the designed LMS and modified measurement model are experimentally verified using a laboratory-built prototype. The experimental results show that the designed LSM has the capability of simultaneously measuring the five-DOF error motions of a linear stage up to one-meter travel with a linear error accuracy in sub-micrometer and an angular error accuracy in sub-arcsecond after compensation.
