Chapter 6 Squareness Measurements in a Horizontal Plane
Mounting and Aligning the Optical Square and Interferometer for the
First Axis Measurement
Measurements Reference Guide 6-11
Figure 6-6. Attaching the optical square to its mount
2 Determine which two axes you will compare for squareness.
3 Place the optical square on the target machine as shown in Figure 6-4 or
6-5.
Make sure that each of the optical square’s slots points along one of the
two measurement axes. Also, make sure you place the square as far down
the first axis as possible. This maximizes the amount of the travel path
that you will measure.
4 Connect the interferometer to its base plate using the attachment screws
provided (Figure 5-6 or 5-7).
