Abstract

Angular vibration calibration is required to determine the sensitivity of sensors such as dynamic inclinometers, gyroscopes, and angular accelerometers, which are used for angular motion measurement in engineering applications. Additionally, the calibration performance depends on the accuracy of the angle measurement by laser interferometry or a circular grating (CG) method that is commonly used in vibration calibration. However, these methods usually own a complex and high-cost system or limited frequency and amplitude ranges. In this study, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, angle measurement method that combines a special visual encoder and an accurate angular position detection method is investigated; the method requires only a simple and flexible telecentric vision measurement system. Comparison experiments with the CG method demonstrate that the investigated method has the maximum measurement deviation of 0.0014° and 0.0138° for static angle measurement in the small-angle range and continuous full circle, respectively. The relative deviation of the angular vibration measurement in the range of 0.1–8 Hz with amplitudes 0–100° is less than 0.173%. Additionally, the relative deviation of calibrated sensitivity of a gyroscope by the investigated and CG methods is less than 0.096%.
