3.auto Collimator

This document describes how to use an auto-collimator to measure straightness. An auto-collimator is an optical instrument that uses non-contact measurement to determine small angles with high sensitivity. To measure straightness, a mirror is placed on the straight line and moved in increments while the auto-collimator measures any angular deviation, which is then converted to linear deviation. This process is repeated at different locations to map deviations from perfect straightness. To measure flatness, two mirrors are used and rotated at angles to again measure linear deviations from the surface.

What is straightness?
• It is a condition where all the points of an element lie
on a straight line.

Importance:
• The basis of most of the measurements is either a
straight line or a plane.
• Straightness is considered as a reference.
Ex. Surface plate
Auto-Collimator:
-It is an optical instrument that is used to measure small angles with very high sensitivity.
-Provides non-contact measurement.

Cumulative and Actual Errors Graphs
Procedure (For Straightness):
• Keep a mirror on the straight line from the path of light
rays.
• Move the distance by a distance of 10cm.
• The reflecting mirror should be moved forward with a
distance say 1cm.
• Now, the green and black coloured lines must coincide.
•Adjust the dial to make them coincide. You get the angular
deviation reading from this.
• Now ,convert this into linear deviation.
• Repeat the process at different locations on the straight line.
Procedure (For Flatness):
• Two mirrors are needed to measure flatness.
• Rotate the mirror which is present on the straight
line and make the othe mirror parallel to this mirror.
• Adopt similar procedure from the previous slide to
measure the linear deviation.
• Repeat the procedure by keeping the first mirror
at different angles from the straight line.
