Advancing the Gauge Block Interferometer and Automating the Gauge Block Calibration

Gauge blocks are the most widely used material measure in length field in industry. The gauge block interferometer, which is the gauge block measuring system, comprises Twyman-Green type interferometer optics and light sources having precisely known wavelengths. This paper describes the work done for advancing the measurement system and automating the measurement process. The advancing of the system was done mainly by exchanging the spectral lamp with the frequency stabilized lasers, and the automation of measurement was achieved by modifying the hardware and developing the automatic measuring software. As the results of this work, the contrast of interferometric fringes of gauge blocks longer than 100 mm s enhanced about 20 times, and the measurement time has reduced down to 50% by automation.
