Collinear Scale Alignment vs Caliper Lever Arm Error
When the measuring axis is offset by distance h, an angular carriage tilt θ introduces measurement error E = h * sin(θ).
Optical Comparator and Linear Glass Scale Geometry
Eliminating Abbe offsets by mounting optical encoder gratings directly in line with displacement rams.
Secondary Cosine Error Corrections
Accounting for residual angular misalignment where measurement path deviates from the true vector of motion.
