SYSTEM AND METHOD TO MEASURE BOW OF AN OBJECT

Abstract:

An exemplary bow calculation tool is configured to receive first and second distance measurements associated with a unit under test from first and second ultrasonic ranging devices, respectively. The bow calculation tool is further configured to determine an effective radius based on a difference between the first and second distance measurements and a space between the first and second ultrasonic ranging devices. The bow calculation tool is further configured to determine a bow value associated with the unit under test based on the effective radius and a length of the unit under test.
