Abstract


Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is the most important computer numerical control (CNC) system in dimensional metrology. CNC-CMM is a major metrological tool used for guarantee the quality of engineering products due to its accuracy, precision, speed and general versatility in industry. The alignment position strategy of an object or product on CMM affects the measurement results. In this paper, the verification of CMM working performance with a touch trigger probe is presented. The influence of alignment of long gauge blocks (GBs) artifacts and its positions on CMM measurements have been studied and evaluated in the X-Y plane. This method treats CMM axis length errors of GBs measurements resulted due to their alignment at different angles. Parallelism and GD&T of GBs artifacts are also identified and evaluated. The combined standards uncertainty in measurement is estimated and achieved within the CMM maximum permissible error.
