Abstract
A sensor assembly along with numerous processing equipment is provided for attachment to the work table of a precision machining system. By attaching the device to the work table and subsequently driving the work table through a repeated pattern of motions, the actual movement of the table can be precisely determined and, consequently, can be compensated for. The sensor assembly utilizes a plurality of gyroscopes and accelerometers to determine actual movement in inertial space.
