Cylindricity Error Evaluation Using Mesh Searching Algorithm

A new kind of method of evaluating cylindricity error,which named as mesh searching algorithm,has been presented in this paper.The optimization and linearization method that are usually used are not adopted in the algorithm.With this algorithm,the four types cylindricity error conform to definition can be obtained by transferring the distance formula from point to space line repeatedly and simple judgment.The principle and steps of using the algorithm to solve the cylindricity error were detailedly discribed.The results of the examination reveal that the cylindricity error can be evaluated effectually and accurately by using this method.
