February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 1 Georg Gassner Robert Ruland, SLAC February, 2008 Introduction Rotary Table Calibration Laser Tracker Investigation ADM Tests Conclusion Introduction Rotary Table Calibration Laser Tracker Investigation ADM Tests Conclusion Laser Tracker Test Facility at SLAC

February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 2 Introduction Particle Physics experiments at SLAC require high accuracy positioning, e. g. 100 µm over a distance of 140 m or 25 µm in a 7 x 10 x 3 meter room Realization -> Laser Tracker Measurements Rotary calibration table (Kugler GmbH) providing an accuracy of better than 0.2 arcsec Interferometer bench

February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 4 Calibration of the rotary table (1) Rosette technique calibrate precision polygon prisms sum of the angles measured must result in 360 degrees Moeller-Wedel electronic autocollimator (0.1arcsec accuracy, 0.05arcsec reproducibility)

February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 5 Calibration of the rotary table (2) Derived Technique set the fixture with the mirrors in a way that mirror ‘a’ is in line with autocollimator ‘a’ rotate the table together with the fixture until mirror ‘b’ is in line with autocollimator ‘b’

February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 6 Calibration of the rotary table (3) Absolute value of an angle between two positions of the rotary table can be determined with ±0.2 arcsec std.

February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 10 ADM Calibration on Interferometer Bench Calibration of the scale factor of the ADM in the field. Tests of the general performance and tests to detect malfunctions in the laboratory. Laser Tracker Carriage Interferometer dd Horizontal Bench

February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 11 Calibration Results Calibration run with Faro Laser Tracker Xi Calibration runs with Faro Laser Tracker Xi V2

February, 2008 IWAA08 G. Gassner, R. Ruland 12 Conclusion Rotary table - absolute angle accuracy < 0.2 arcsec Rotary table to test any horizontal angle measurement instrument Faro laser trackers angle measurement system deviations stable and correctible With corrections, angle accuracies of 1 arcsec are possible. Test of the ADM showed its usability as a replacement for the interferometer mode
