Abstract: A supplementary metrology position coordinates determination system is provided for use with an articulated robot. A first accuracy level defined as a robot accuracy (e.g., for controlling and sensing an end tool position of an end tool that is coupled to a robot arm portion that moves in an XY plane), is based on using position sensors (e.g., rotary encoders) included in the robot. The supplementary system includes an imaging configuration, XY scale, image triggering portion and processing portion. One of the XY scale or imaging configuration is coupled to the robot arm portion and the other is coupled to a stationary element (e.g., a frame located above the robot). The imaging configuration acquires an image of the XY scale, which is utilized to determine a relative position that is indicative of the end tool position, with an accuracy level that is better than the robot accuracy.

Abstract: A combined workpiece holder and calibration profile configuration (CWHACPC) is provided for integration into a surface profile measurement system. The CWHACPC may comprise at least a first calibration profile portion and a workpiece holding portion that holds a workpiece in a stable position during measurement. The first calibration profile portion comprises a plurality of reference surface regions that have known reference surface z heights or z height differences relative to one another. The first calibration profile portion and the workpiece holding portion are configured to fit within a profile scan path range of the surface profile measurement system, such that the surface profile measurement system can acquire measured surface profile data for the first calibration profile portion and the workpiece during a single pass along the profile scan path. The acquired surface profile data for the reference surface regions may be used to indicate and/or correct certain errors.

Abstract: A supplementary metrology position coordinates determination system is provided for use with a robot. A first accuracy level defined as a robot accuracy (e.g., for controlling and sensing an end tool position of an end tool that is mounted proximate to a distal end of a movable arm configuration of the robot) is based on using position sensors (e.g., encoders) included in the robot. The supplementary metrology position coordinates determination system includes an imaging configuration, XY scale, image triggering portion and processing portion. One of the XY scale or imaging configuration is coupled to the movable arm configuration and the other is coupled to a stationary element (e.g., a frame above the robot). The imaging configuration acquires an image of the XY scale, which is utilized to determine metrology position coordinates that are indicative of the end tool position, with an accuracy level that is better than the robot accuracy.

Abstract: A focus state reference subsystem comprising a focus state (FS) reference object is provided for use in a variable focal length (VFL) lens system comprising a VFL lens, a controller that modulates its optical power, and a camera located along an optical path including an objective lens and the VFL lens. Reference object image light from the FS reference object is transmitted along a portion of the optical path through the VFL lens to the camera. Respective FS reference regions (FSRRs) of the FS reference object include a contrast pattern fixed at respective focus positions. A camera image that includes a best-focus image of a particular FSRR defines a best-focus reference state associated with that FSRR, wherein that best-focus reference state comprises a VFL optical power and/or effective focus position of the VFL lens system through the objective lens.

Abstract: An electronic caliper generates power for measurement operations. The caliper comprises a scale member, a slider, a signal processing portion configured to measure a displacement between the scale member and slider, a power generating arrangement attached to the slider comprising a gear assembly configured to rotate in response to a force provided through the scale member to the gear assembly by a user opening or closing the caliper, and a power generator coupled to the gear assembly and configured to rotate in response to force provided by the rotating gear assembly and provide power to the signal processing portion. The power generating arrangement generates power as the user opens or closes the caliper and is configured such that it contributes a motion resistance force component of at most 20N during the user opening or closing the caliper using a maximum manual acceleration and/or speed.

Abstract: A metrology system is provided for use with a movement system that moves an end tool (e.g., a probe). The metrology system includes a sensor configuration, a light beam source configuration and a processing portion. The sensor configuration comprises a plurality of light beam sensors. The light beam source configuration directs light beams to the light beam sensors of the sensor configuration. One of the light beam source configuration or the sensor configuration is coupled to the end tool and/or an end tool mounting configuration of the movement system which moves the end tool. The light beams that are directed to the light beam sensors cause the light beam sensors to produce corresponding measurement signals. A processing portion processes the measurement signals from the light beam sensors which indicate the position and orientation of the end tool.

Abstract: A supplementary metrology position coordinates determination (SMPD) system is used with a robot. “Robot accuracy” (e.g., for controlling and sensing an end tool position of an end tool that is mounted proximate to a distal end of its movable arm configuration) is based on robot position sensors included in the robot. The SMPD system includes an imaging configuration and an XY scale and an alignment sensor for sensing alignment/misalignment therebetween, and an image triggering portion and processing portion. One of the XY scale or imaging configuration is coupled to the movable arm configuration and the other is coupled to a stationary element (e.g., a frame above the robot). The imaging configuration acquires an image of the XY scale with known alignment/misalignment, which is utilized to determine metrology position coordinates that are indicative of the end tool position, with an accuracy level that is better than the robot accuracy.

Abstract: An absolute scale configuration is provided for use in a position encoder which includes a readhead and a scale. The absolute scale configuration includes a plurality of scale loops distributed along a measuring axis to provide a position dependent signal that varies depending on a relative position between the scale loops and the readhead. At least some of the scale loops are coupled to respective impedance modulating circuits connected to receive energy from current induced in the scale loop and to provide a unique coded modulation of the scale loop impedance during a code signal generating state. The unique coded modulations as sensed by the readhead are indicative of a coarse resolution absolute position, which may be utilized in combination with the position dependent signal to determine an absolute position with a high resolution.
