The system offers the high precision of the interferometer systems and allows the autonomous tracking of a sphere joined to the spindle nose of the machine tool by simultaneous contact of all the lines. The main advantage of the system is that it allows data capture to be carried out in a single cycle thanks to simultaneous operation with at least three telescopic arms using a novel multipoint kinematic coupling. This results in a significant reduction of the time taken for data capture and improves measurement accuracy due to avoiding the effect of temperature variations between cycles and machine tool repeatability. The work explains the working principle of the system, its main components, and the design parameters considered for the development of the system. The system is simple to operate, compact, agile, and suitable for the verification of small- or medium-sized machine tools with linear and\/or rotary axes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20133798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,7]],"date-time":"2020-07-07T10:41:09Z","timestamp":1594118469000},"page":"3798","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Development of a High Precision Telescopic Instrument Based on Simultaneous Laser Multilateration for Machine Tool Volumetric Verification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8609-1358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Jos\u00e9","family":"Aguilar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Design and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Zaragoza, Mar\u00eda de Luna 3, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ingenier\u00eda de Arag\u00f3n (I3A), 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4917-8550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Acero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Design and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Zaragoza, Mar\u00eda de Luna 3, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco Javier","family":"Brosed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Design and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Zaragoza, Mar\u00eda de Luna 3, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ingenier\u00eda de Arag\u00f3n (I3A), 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7316-0003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Santolaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Design and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Zaragoza, Mar\u00eda de Luna 3, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ingenier\u00eda de Arag\u00f3n (I3A), 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"660","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cirp.2008.09.008","article-title":"Geometric error measurement and compensation of machines\u2014An update","volume":"57","author":"Schwenke","year":"2008","journal-title":"CIRP Ann."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"International Organization for Standardization ISO 230-1:2012 (2012).
