Designed for use with Spindle Error Analyzer (SEA), 3-axis stage includes top plate with mounting holes mating to SEA probe holders. Spindles can be located in test stand, with probes located ±50 µm from master ball. Included in SEA system are capacitive displacement sensors, masterball targets with less than 100 nm roundness error, temperature sensors, and analysis software. It lets spindle displacement be plotted against temperature and RPM, showing relationships between these variables.
