Metrology and alignment using a wire
- Helene Mainaud Durand (CERN)
This short presentation will cover the concept of the metrology loop and introduce some examples of error sources that can affect dimensional measurement systems and how these errors can be mitigated.
In underground geodetic networks, the orientation along the tunnel is generally limited in precision and reliability by, on one hand, the "corridor" configuration of the network and, on the other hand, by lateral refraction effects. As a stretched wire, if it is protected from air drafts, belongs to a section of a catenary function inside a vertical plan, it can be used as a precise and...
In the frame of the Particle Accelerator Components’ Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometre scale (PACMAN) project, we develop the micro-triangulation method for the magnet fiducialization. The wire detection algorithm and the wire reconstruction algorithm are the most important parts of this study. High accuracy robotic theodolites observe the stretched wire, used for the determination of...
