The most commonly used method in the calibration of step gauges is the coordinate measuring machine (CMM), equipped with a laser interferometer for the highest accuracy. This paper describes a modification to a length-bar measuring machine for the calibration of step gauges to a high accuracy. A system was also developed for interferometric measurements of the flatness and parallelism of gauge block faces for use in uncertainty calculations.
