Straightness is an index which limits the deviation of an actul line from an ideal line. Properly mearuring straightness is a basic means to evaluate the precision condition of the shape and position of a machine part. Measurement of straightness is of great importance in a mechanical system. The problem of how to precisely measure straightness of a small-size object has been solved, but that of how to dynamically and automatically, and with high resolution, measure straightness of large- size objects is still being studied and tried. Now we present a new method of laser twice diffraction and inteference for measuring straightness, with a measuring range of dozens of meters, a resolution of ,u m order. This new method is of low cost and easy to get popularized.
