This thesis details the development, performance, and analysis of tests for the dynamic performance evaluation for laser trackers. Laser trackers are large-scale measuring systems that utilize a spherical coordinate system for measurement. These s...
Portable large scale metrology instruments continue to gain popularity due to their increasing use in industrial applications. As a result, it has become more and more crucial to develop reliable large scale artifacts or other large scale equipmen...
This research examines the feasibility of machining components with precise tolerances using machines smaller than the completed part. This can conceptually be achieved in two ways. 1.) move a part around a machine, machining a portion of the part...
