Thermal Drift Monitoring Experiment 01

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-02-01 00:00:00
An experiment was set up within a machine tool at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to test vision-based thermal drift tracking methods. A wireless microscope within a tool holder in the spindle is used to capture videos of image targets attached to the worktable. For each target, one video is captured during spindle rotation orthogonal to the worktable and another video is captured during axis translation orthogonal to the worktable. Data are collected periodically so that the three-dimensional thermal error at each target location may be determined via image analysis.
