Straightness and Squareness
Measurement
Measurements can be taken to assess the motion of an axis
perpendicular to its principle motion with the Straightness measurement
equipment. Two versions of the optics can be used the Short Range set for
measurement up to 3m (120") and the Long Range set for measurements up to 30m
(100') with a reduced resolution. Linear parallelism can be assessed using the
straightness measurement equipment, for example co-linear axes such as
horizontal boring machines with a quill.

Setup for XZ squareness measurement
The squareness of motion between two perpendicular axes can be measured using the straightness optics and an optical square.
