This method can not only be applied for measuring a linear axis, but also for a rotary axis. A single-mode fiber was used to separate the measuring unit from the laser source in order to ensure system thermal stability and measurement accuracy. The method has the advantages of high efficiency and good accuracy, and requires no complicated decoupling calculation. The positioning error of the linear axis and radial motion error of the rotary axis are measured by laser interferometry and other 5DOF geometric motion errors by laser collimation. A series of experiments were performed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed measurement system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19081764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,15]],"date-time":"2019-04-15T11:15:58Z","timestamp":1555326958000},"page":"1764","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["A Method for Simultaneously Measuring 6DOF Geometric Motion Errors of Linear and Rotary Axes Using Lasers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Fajia","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Luminescence and Optical Information, Ministry of Education, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2854-044X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qibo","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Luminescence and Optical Information, Ministry of Education, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Luminescence and Optical Information, Ministry of Education, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiakun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Luminescence and Optical Information, Ministry of Education, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijmachtools.2011.08.011","article-title":"Integrated geometric error modeling, identification and compensation of CNC machine tools","volume":"52","author":"Zhu","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int.
