Description

Straightness measuring interferometer system without nonlinear error and measuring method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of micro-nano measurement, in particular to a high-precision measurement interferometer with a small straightness error and a measurement method.
Background
Advanced manufacturing technology has become a key research object in manufacturing industry as one of the priority subjects of the national outline of long-term scientific and technical development. At present, the displacement control precision in various precision positioning devices is generally in the nanometer level, and in high-performance precision numerical control machine tools and three-coordinate measuring machines, the displacement measurement precision reaches a few nanometers, even below 1 nanometer. The ever increasing demands on the accuracy of the displacement mean that various deviations in the displacement process must be measured and controlled precisely. In the measurement of errors with multiple degrees of freedom, straightness errors refer to offset in the direction perpendicular to a motion axis, influence on positioning accuracy of a high-precision displacement table is the most direct, and the straightness errors are very important content in the mechanical manufacturing industry.
At present, a plurality of detection methods for straightness errors are applied, and the detection methods are mainly based on laser collimation and laser interference. The measuring precision is mainly limited by the detection precision of a position detector and the direction drift of a laser light source based on a measuring scheme of laser collimation; the system utilizes a differential plane interferometer, combines the combination of wedge prism and wedge surface reflection to form a four-beam system with geometric space symmetry, and utilizes a phase meter with the resolution of 2 pi/3600 to realize the linearity error detection with the measurement resolution reaching the nanometer level. But due to the phenomenon of frequency aliasing in the system, a nonlinear error exists in a measurement result, and the error can reach tens of nanometers or even tens of nanometers, so that the detection accuracy of the straightness error is severely limited. Therefore, the importance of inventing a linearity measuring interferometer without nonlinear error is not negligible.
In the interferometer system described in the invention with publication number CN104613902A, the non-orthogonality of the light emitted from the light source or the light leakage of the beam splitter prism of two different frequencies causes the frequency aliasing phenomenon, so that the measured optical signal has the non-linear error, which can reach tens of nanometers or even more.
