Abstract
When the electromagnetic rail gun accelerates the armature, the rail is in a harsh condition of high temperature, high pressure and powerful current which will cause a series of grooving phenomenon. In order to detect the inner bore profile, we developed a measuring device using laser triangulation method and basically realized the measurement of the inner bore profile measurement. However, except for the translation and deflection errors, we found that the actual measurement cross-section would be rotated due to the unsteady movement compared with the ideal section. In addition, the previous calibration needs a high-resolution image sensor to get deflection information, it means high cost. In this paper, we analyzed the 3 kinds of deviations and provide a method to calibrate the rotation error using a calibration block. An improved calibration system was designed in low cost and experiment verified the feasibility of the calibration method. The calibration system can be divided into 3 parts, the outside global laser light provides a constant central position, a distance detecting device with a cone laser generator and an inside calibration block. After experiment, the calibration method was effective and the deviation of the profile can be corrected.Funding Information
