XM multi-axis calibrator

Appendix C

Sign detection

XM system has 6 measurement channels:
• 3 channels (T1,T2 and T3) correspond to translations (linear and
straightness)
• 3 channels (R1, R2 and R3) correspond to rotations around T1,T2 and T3
Sign detection process performs the following:
• Links the T1,T2 and T3 axes of the XM to the machine linear axes
• Sets the sign (+/-) of the T1,T2 and T3 measurements
• Sets the sign (+/-) of the R1,R2 and R3 measurements
