Lz. Dich et Sm. Latyev, STATUS OF RESEARCH-AND-DEVELOPMENT IN COORDINATE-MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY, Journal of optical technology, 61(9), 1994, pp. 636-640
This paper discusses problems involved in developing and operating coo
rdinate-measuring machines. The status of this area of precision instr
umentation is analyzed. These problems are made critical not only by t
he requirements of the machine-tool industry but also by those of the
microelectronics industry, both of which use coordinate tables, step-u
p gears, and other equipment in which precise coordinate measurements
are necessary.
