Angular Positioning

Measurement

 

Angular position measurements can be made using interferometry on rotary axes, such as indexing and rotary tables as well as other angular positioning equipment. Agilent produce two differing systems as described below. These systems can measure through any angle up to and above 360°. The optical setup allows for measurement of tables with a lift (up to 15mm) and rotate type mechanism. The supplemental fixturing may be used with either 55290A or 55290B.
