Study of Large Scale Measurement Method Based on Leapfrog Principle

At present，large scale and space coordinates measuring system with wide-range and high-precision has been widely used in modern manufacturing industry. In this paper, large scale measuring method based on leapfrog principle of flexible three coordinate measuring machine is described. The mathematical model of coordinate transformation is built and the general coordinate transformation formula after number of times leapfrogging is derived. The best positioning and each step of leapfrog are given.
