Offset Error Compensation in Roundness Measurement

This paper analyses three causes of offset error in roundness measurement and presents corresponding compensation methods.The causes of offset error include excursion error resulting from the deflection of the sensor‘s line of measurement from the rotational center in measurement (datum center), eccentricity error resulting from the variance between the workpiece‘s geometrical center and the rotational center, and tilt error resulting from the tilt between the workpiece‘s geometrical axes and the rotational centerline.
