System 35 and microscopic system 34, the locus circle of record now, calculate radius of circle x.d1It can be calculated and obtained by formula (3).Make micro-
The multiplication factor of system 34 is k, then the optical axis 32 and actual translational movement d of mechanical rotating shaft 31 is by d1Divided by the amplification of microscopic system 34
Multiple is tried to achieve.
D=d1/ k=fx/k (v-f) (4)
The detection method of the laser tracker optical axis of the present invention and the translational movement of mechanical rotating shaft, its specific works step is such as
Under:
Step 1:According to above-mentioned mounting means by after device installation, carried out by the interface and rotary shaft of sleeve right-hand member
Interference fit, it is ensured that device central shaft and rotating shaft coaxle, then be fixedly connected by three fixed screw threads with axle.
Step 2:Imaging system is opened, computer is connected to, is passed through by shoot laser beam in computer acquisition rotary shaft
The image formed after microscopic system on CCD target surfaces, the center of hot spot in image is extracted by centroid method image procossing, is schemed
As coordinate.The mechanical rotating shaft of tracker, detection means are rotated a circle, in uniform N number of station acquisition N width images, carried respectively
Take the image coordinate of spot center in each image.Wherein N is bigger, and effect is better, for example, can choose N=8,12,16 ....
Step 3:N number of image coordinate that step 2 is obtained is fitted to the locus circle of flat circle, as laser facula, obtains
The radius of the circle is p pixel.If CCD Pixel size is a μm, then the radius of the circle is
X=(a × p) μm
The translational movement of rotary shaft and laser beam can be obtained by formula (4).
Step 4:In order to examine measurement result, it is to avoid laser tracker optical axis has angle influence translation inspection with mechanical rotating shaft
Result is surveyed, different using lens object distance, length sleeve, other structures identical device is detected again by step 1-3 again, if
As a result consistent, then testing result is credible.
