Abstract: In a scale, a reference detection pattern and a displacement detection pattern are formed. A detection head outputs a reference detection signal, a phase compensation signal, and a displacement detection signal. A signal processing unit generates a reference signal by amplifying one or both of the phase compensation signal and the reference detection signal and adding up them, and detects a position of the detection head relative to the scale. A combined light receiving grating includes a reference detection light receiving grating and a phase compensation light receiving grating disposed so as to be shifted from the reference detection light receiving grating in the measurement direction. A combined light receiving element includes a reference detection light receiving element configured to output the reference detection signal and a phase compensation light receiving element configured to output the phase compensation signal.

Abstract: A measuring probe includes two supporting members, each having a rotationally symmetric shape and allowing for an attitude change of a stylus, in an axial direction of a probe housing. Four detection elements are disposed at fourfold symmetric positions in one of the two supporting members that includes four deformable arm parts. A signal processing circuit includes a first processing part that processes outputs of the detection elements to output three displacement signals representing displacement components of a contact part in mutually perpendicular three directions, respectively. The measuring probe capable of reducing measurement directional dependency of sensitivity with a simple configuration while maintaining high sensitivity is thus provided.

Abstract: A variable focal length (VFL) lens system is utilized to determine surface Z-height measurements of imaged surfaces. A controller of the system is configured to control a VFL lens (e.g., a tunable acoustic gradient index of refraction lens) to periodically modulate its optical power and thereby periodically modulate a focus position at a first operating frequency, wherein the periodically modulated VFL lens optical power defines a first periodic modulation phase. A phase timing signal is synchronized with a periodic signal in the controller that has the first operating frequency and that has a second periodic modulation phase that has a phase offset relative to the first periodic modulation phase. A phase offset compensating portion is configured to perform a phase offset compensating process that provides Z-height measurements, wherein at least one of Z-height errors or Z-height variations that are related to a phase offset contribution are at least partially eliminated.

Abstract: A method for operating an imaging system of a machine vision inspection system to provide an extended depth of field (EDOF) image. The method comprises (a) placing a workpiece in a field of view; (b) periodically modulating a focus position of the imaging system without macroscopically adjusting the spacing between elements in the imaging system, the focus position is periodically modulated over a plurality of positions along a focus axis direction in a focus range including a workpiece surface height; (c) exposing a first preliminary image during an image integration time while modulating the focus position in the focus range; and (d) processing the first preliminary image to remove blurred image contributions occurring in the focus range during the image integration time to provide an EDOF image that is focused throughout a larger depth of field than the imaging system provides at a single focal position.

Abstract: A light source array used in illumination portions for optical encoders comprising an illumination portion, a scale grating extending along a measuring direction and receiving light from the illumination portion, and a detector configuration. The light source array comprises individual sources arranged in a grid pattern and coinciding with two transverse sets of parallel grid pattern lines that have two different grid line pitches between their parallel lines. Different instances of the light source array may be mounted with different rotational orientations about an axis normal to the grid pattern, for use in different illumination portions adapted for use with respective scale gratings having different grating pitches along the measuring axis direction. By using the different respective rotational orientations, the individual sources are aligned along respective illumination source lines that are spaced apart by different respective illumination source line pitches along the measuring axis direction.

Abstract: A measuring device which reduces reading errors caused by parallax. The measuring device has a gauge head abutting against an object to be measured, and includes a pointer-type display part which displays displacement of the gauge head obtained by being enlarged by an enlarging mechanism and being converted into a rotation amount of a pointer. The measuring device further includes a transparent cover plate provided so as to cover the pointer-type display part, and the cover plate has an antireflection film on the surface. The cover plate further has an antifouling film on the antireflection film. The cover plate has a flat surface.
