    摘要: A position sensor using a novel structured light generating scale or target member is provided. An imaging array is capable of measuring the relative translation and orientation of the structured light generating scale or target member in X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch, and roll (“6D”) simultaneously, and with high precision. The target member includes an array of lenses that provide an array of structured light patterns that diverge, converge, or both, to change the size of the corresponding structured light image as a function of the “Z” coordinate of the relative position, in various embodiments. The X-Y position of each individual structured light image on the imaging array varies with the relative X-Y position of the structured light generating target member, and the shape of structured light image changes as a function of the relative angular orientation. Accordingly, three or more structured light images analyzed in the same image are usable to determine a 6D measurement between the structured light generating target member and the array detector. X and Y displacement of the target member can be accumulated by known methods and the other 6D measurement components are absolute measurements at any position.

    摘要: A method of determining an amount of tilt may include projecting at least two coherent wavefronts toward a target surface, the wavefronts reflecting from the target surface to create an interference fringe pattern on a detector, and transmitting a beam toward the target surface, the transmitted beam reflecting from the target surface to form a beam spot on the detector. A fringe pitch indicative of a distance to the target surface may be determined based on the interference fringe pattern. A displacement on the detector of the beam spot, relative to a nominal location of the beam spot when the target surface is at a nominal angle of incidence relative to the beam, may be determined. The amount of tilt of the target surface relative to the nominal angle of incidence, may be determined based on the displacement of the beam spot and the determined fringe pitch.

    摘要: A position sensor using a novel optical path array (OPA) element, an angle-selective spatial filter, and an imaging array is capable of measuring the translation and orientation relative to a target member in X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch, and roll (“6D”) simultaneously, and with high precision. A target member includes an array of target points surrounded by a contrasting surface. The position sensor uses the OPA element in combination with the angle-selective spatial filter in a target point imaging arrangement such that the imaging array of the position sensor only receives light rays that enter the OPA element according to an operable cone angle α. Accordingly, each target point generally produces a ring-shaped image having a size on the imaging array that varies with the Z position of each target point. The X-Y position of each target point image on the imaging array varies with the X-Y position of each target point. Accordingly, three or more target point images analyzed in the same image are usable to determine a 6D measurement relative to the target member. X and Y displacement of the target member can be accumulated by known methods and the other 6D measurement components are absolute measurements at any position.
