Coaxiality of Stepped Shaft Measurement Using the Structured Light Vision

A method is proposed to measure the coaxiality of stepped shafts based on line structured light vision. In order to solve the repeated positioning error of the measured shaft, the light plane equation solution method is proposed using movement distance and initial light plane equation. In the coaxiality measurement model, the equation of the reference axis is obtained by the overall least square method through the center point coordinates of each intercept line on the reference axis. The coaxiality error of each shaft segment relative to the reference axis is solved based on the principle of minimum containment. In the experiment, the coaxiality measurement method is evaluated, and the factors that affect the measurement accuracy are analyzed.
