A theory of time-space coordinate transformation is presented for measuring space with time. A novel type of displacement sensor named time grating is developed, and methods of electronic rectifying, self-compensation and self-correction are proposed to intelligentize the sensor. Experiment results coming from applications conform to the validity of the proposed theory and methods. The experiment and test results show that high-precision measurement is achieved without high-precision manufacture and that angular displacement is measured very accurately without a dividing scale, which embeds the remarkable characteristics of low cost but high accuracy to the time grating sensor.

A new displacement sensor with light-field modulation, named as time grating, was proposed in this study. The purpose of this study was to reduce the reliance on high-precision measurements on high-precision manufacturing. The proposed sensor uses a light source to produce an alternative light-field simultaneously for four groups of sinusoidal light transmission surfaces. Using the four orthogonally alternative light-fields as the carrier to synthesize a traveling wave signal which makes the object movement in the spatial proportion to the signal phase shift in the time, the moving displacement of the object can be measured by counting time pulses. The influence of the light-field distribution on sensor measurement error was analyzed in detail. Aimed to reduce these influences, an optimization method that used continuous cosinusoidal light transmission surfaces with spatially symmetrical distribution was proposed, and the effectiveness of this method was verified with simulations and experiments. Experimental results demonstrated that the measurement accuracy reached 0.64 μm, within the range of 500 mm, with 0.6 mm pitch. Therefore, the light-field time grating can achieve high precision measurement with a low cost and submillimeter period sensing unit.

The design scheme of electrical gear-type time grating sensor is presented for both dynamic measurement and static measurement. This sensor consists of upper layer, middle layer and lower layer. Symmetric three-phase windings are wound around gears of these three layers, respectively, and winds of each layer are staggered by 1/3 pitch. Inductance coils of sensor are embed in slots in another single layer of framework. This structure ensures that the number of pole pairs and probes is half the number of slots to realize high precision measurement with machining of low precision spatial division and low cost. Experiment results show that the accuracy of electrical gear-type sensor can achieve ±2″with multi-polygon autocollimator.
