Accuracy of coordinate measuring machines - Characteristics and their reverification - Acceptance and reverification tests for Articulated Arm Coordinate Measuring Machines
This guideline describes procedures for testing the performance of articulated-arm CMMs for tactile probing. It applies to: acceptance tests serving to verify conformance of the CMM and its probe with the manufacturers specifications; reverification tests performed by the user for periodical checking of the articulated-arm CMM and its probe; interim checks performed by the user for monitoring the articulated-arm CMM and its probe in-between reverification tests The tests are applicable to articulated-arm CMMs having at least four axes, not counting any redundant axes.
