Chapter 5: Accuracy
Common areas of measurement where this loss occurs are:
• when an encoder has reached a hard end-stop
• directly above the Gage
• in close to the base of the Gage
The Gage should always feel fluid in its movement. If excessive force is needed
to move to a measuring location, a degree of freedom has probably been lost. The
following figures illustrate some of the possible positions of a Gage where a
degree of freedom has been lost.
