Metrology of the Stave250 Assembly Jig

What do we need to measure?
Procedure• Measure PH2 and define as (0,0)
– 4 point: DIA=0.043 / CIRC=0.001
• Measure PH1 and define PH2-PH1 as primary axis– 4 point: DIA = 0.063 / CIRC=0.001– Distance PH1-PH2 = 1247.520
• Measure front edge of 14 Vee-blocks at 4 points along length (See plot) and reconstruct line of best fit– Y=-42.228 + 1.5738x10-4 X
• Measure Tooling ball – (1248.586,-119.685): DIA=8.207 / CIRC=0.011

Comparison with SmartScope• Procedure
– Mount jig on Smartscope & reconstruct lines along the edges of the Vee blocks (sub-stage illumination). Construct datum axis
– Measure tooling ball as a composite of 3 sub-circles• Diameter = 8.209 / CIRC = 0.0186
– Measure PH1 as a composite of 3 sub-circles• Diameter = 0.0287 / CIRC = 0.0015
– Measure distance from Tooling ball to PH1 parallel to Vee-block datum axis• 1.0765 – Diameter/2 = -3.028
– Measure PH1 offset to Vee-block axis• 42.040

CMM Survey with Back-lighting
• Pin-holes and tooling ball measured with back-lighting to try and improve measurement– Hi-tec torch (Wifi/3G enabled)
• Results– Pin-holes • 0.028 / 0.030 mm with 4-point circularity of 0.001mm
– Tooling ball• 8.205mm with 20-point circularity of 0.025mm

Survey with 4mm dowels (CMM#3)• 4mm dowels
held into Vee blocks with tool-makers clamps.
• Inner edge of dowels reconstructed using back illumination via reflection from aluminium.
