Calculating Perpendicularity
Calculating Perpendicularity
(OP)
I am using a laser tracker which will not automatically calculate perpendicularity as a cmm would. I can calculate an angle between two planes for instance, but do not know what equation I would need to use to calculate the error of the angle as an amount in thousands of an inch.
I need to know the math behind calculating perpendicularity between two surfaces.
Thanks

RE: Calculating Perpendicularity
-By taking tangent-inverse of the slopes you will get the angle.
-Then you can calculate the difference between the two angles and see if they are perpendicular.

What is its value?
How would you measure that using a laser tracker?
