A gage is being developed to make precision measurements of moving surfaces in a manufacturing environment. A prototype has demonstrated submicron repeatability and accuracy at the 2-to 6-micron level as well as the ability to measure parts moving at about 1 in./min. The system is described, and the means to make the accuracy comparable to the repeatability and to increase part velocity to more than 200 in./min are indicated.
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.
