A high precision six-degree-of-freedom measuring system is developed in this paper for the motion measurement of a linear stage. It integrates a miniature dual-beam fiber coupled laser interferometer with the multiple optical paths and quadrant detectors to be capable of measuring six-degree-of-freedom motion errors. The proposed measuring method provides rapid performance, simplicity of setup, and pre-process verification of a linear positioning stage. The experimental setup and algorithm for the error verification are presented in the paper. The measuring range of the proposed measuring system is ±40μm for straightness and 40 arc sec for pitch, roll and yaw. Within the range of ±40μm and 40 arc sec, it has been found that the system’s resolution and accuracy of measuring straightness error components are about 0.04 μm and ±0.06 μm, respectively. The resolution and accuracy of measuring pitch and yaw angular error components are about 0.06 arc sec and ±0.8 arc sec, respectively. The resolution and accuracy of measuring roll angular error are about 0.05 arc sec and ±0.07 arc sec, respectively.
This investigation proposes a successful case of industrial-academic cooperation between the
Chienkuo Technology University and J. King Aluminum Inc. This study was proposed by the rotating
machinery and heat transfer laboratory. They studied the optimal heat transfer and structural strength of
closed-cell aluminum porous material. The cooperation involved the exchange of technical skills; the
determination of policies and methods for establishing a lasting relationship, to ensure mutual trust
between the parties involved and the elucidation of the benefits enjoyed by both sides. This study seeks
to provide a good example to local technical industrial institutions of successful industrial-academic
cooperation to promote academic professional research and the establishment of empirical formulae
from relevant experimental data. The results of the example are useful in designing an electronic
package and cooling device will lead to the novel material applications and reduce the cost of research
in related industries, improving global production and marketing, also motivates students to combine
academic skills and industrial practice as part of a professional education
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
