Paper Abstract
The baseline design of the European Extremely Large Telescope features a telescope with a 39-meter-class
primary mirror (M1), consisting of 798 hexagonal segments. A measurement machine design is presented based
on a non-contact single-point scanning technique, capable of measuring the form error of each segment with
nanometer uncertainty, fast, and with low operational costs. The implementation of a tactile precision probe
eliminates the need for the CMM in the earlier segment manufacturing process. Preliminary assessment show
nanometer-level uncertainty after calibration.
