Accuracy of coordinate measuring machines - Characteristics and their testing - Guideline for the application of DIN EN ISO 10360 to coordinate measuring machines with optical distance sensors
The document applies to sensors for distance measurement used for optical probing in coordinate measuring machines. It describes the current, normal methods of measurement of triangulation sensors, laser focus sensors, video autofocus sensors used for one-dimensional distance measurement and shows the optical influences which lead to probing errors. The functioning and specifics of the sensors are explained.
