Abstract: The aim of the research was to determine the mechanical stability of angle measurement comparator’s system. For that purpose, vibrations were measured at the significant points of the system and dynamic characteristics of the system were established.

Abstract: The essence of the considered problem is to improve line scale gauge calibration quality by studying vibrations that are induced during the calibration process. To assess the influence of vibrations it is necessary to solve a lot of scientific and technical tasks. Serious difficulties were confronted during the mathematical analysis - development of analytical model and determination of its coefficients. An in-depth analysis of line scale measurement means had to be performed to this aim, because only experimental measurements enabled to estimate the majority of coefficients.

Abstract: Dependence of a comparator reading dynamic error on vibro activity of a carriage is analyzed in the paper. There is shown how change reading errors at action only carriage drive vibrations and at artificially provoked carriage vibrations at different frequencies. Results achieved enable to evaluate the influence of vibration components on reading errors.

Abstract: The precision line scale calibration in dynamical mode of operation is considered. A new interferometer-controlled comparator with moving microscope has been developed and optimised in order to reduce both the measurement uncertainty and calibration process duration. Modal analysis performed and measurements conducted of the spatial vibrations of comparator structure revealed that dynamically-induced errors can noticeably contribute to the measurement uncertainty budget. They can be prominently reduced, in particular, by proper improvement and optimisation of the carriage structure and elimination of the dry friction in the carriage drive.
