Popis: In this article, a method of error source analysis and detection to improve the angle measurement accuracy of rotary encoders in precision measuring instruments is proposed. The angle measurement error caused by the installation eccentricity of the grating disk and the radial error motion of the rotating shaft is analyzed, and the error model is built. The method of measuring the radial error motion is introduced, and the visual system and image processing technology is proposed to detect the eccentricity. The verification experiment by the use of an autocollimator and a polygon is carried out. The residual error after comparison within ±6″ accounts for 9% of the angle measurement error. The proposed error model is verified, and the angle measurement error can be predicted if the installation eccentricity and radial error motion are known.
