Abstract
A calibration jig that calibrates a measurement apparatus for measuring a three-dimensional geometry of a measurement target, including: a plurality of elements to be measured, a frame part to which the plurality of elements to be measured are attached, and a mechanism part that moves the frame part, wherein the mechanism part includes: a rotation mechanism that rotates the frame part about a first axis; a first swinging mechanism that swings the frame part about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis; and a second swinging mechanism that swings the frame part about a third axis orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis.
Claims8
A calibration jig that calibrates a measurement apparatus for measuring a three-dimensional geometry of a measurement target, the calibration jig comprising:
- a plurality of elements to be measured;
- a frame part to which the plurality of elements to be measured are attached;
- and
- a mechanism part that moves the frame part, wherein the mechanism part includes:
- a rotation mechanism that rotates the frame part about a first axis;
- a first swinging mechanism that swings the frame part about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis;
- and
- a second swinging mechanism that swings the frame part about a third axis orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis,
- the mechanism part includes a support member that supports the frame part,
- the first swing mechanism includes:
- a first movable part coupled to the support member;
- and
- a first linear actuator that moves the first movable part, and
- the first swing mechanism is configured such that the support member swings about the second axis by causing the first linear actuator to move the first movable part,
- the second swing mechanism includes:
- a second movable part coupled to the support member;
- and
- a second linear actuator that moves the second movable part,
- the second swing mechanism is configured such that the support member swings about the third axis by causing the second linear actuator to move the second movable part, and
- a connecting part between the first movable part and the support member and a connecting part between the second movable part and the support member are ball joints, central parts of the plurality of ball joints are located in a plane orthogonal to the first axis, and a swivel center of the support member is located in the plane.
