    Abstract

    Nanometer-level spindle metrology requires a suitable artifact, an accurate sensor, stiff fixturing, and a low-noise data acquisition and display system [1]. A commonly used artifact for this purpose is a lapped sphere, referred to here as a testball. This paper discusses spindle metrology and the aspects of testball design, ball lapping, metrology, and calibration using multiprobe error separation.
