Angular Position Measurements
An angular position measurement relates angular offset to the angular
motion of the device being measured, rather than relating it to the linear
motion of the device being measured. Measurement positions are
expressed in angular units, rather than linear. One use for the
Agilent 5530 calibrator’s angular position measurement capability is to
measure the angular positioning accuracy of a rotary table.
The instructions that follow assume that you are using an Agilent 55290A
Angular Position Measurement Kit, shown in Figure 4-17A/B/C/D.
NOTE Refer to the separate Agilent 55290B Rotary Axis Measurement Kit
Supplemental Guide for information about the 55290B Rotary Axis Kit.
The angular position measurement kit, along with the standard
Agilent 5530 calibrator software (Agilent 10747F) and hardware, and
angular measurement optics (Agilent 10770A Angular Interferometer and
Agilent 10771A Angular Reflector) are used to make the rotary table
calibration.
Figure 4-17B and Figure 4-17D include listings of parts provided in:
• the standard Agilent 55290A Angular Position Measurement Kit
• the Agilent 55290A Option 744 Fixturing Kit
• the Agilent 55290-67001 Replacement Hardware Kit
• the Agilent 55290-67003 Option 744 Hardware Kit
