For measuring machines and machine tools, geometrical accuracy is a key performance
criterion. While numerical compensation is well established for CMMs, it is increasingly used …

Abstract The field of Large-Scale Metrology has been studied extensively for many decades
and represents the combination and competition of topics as diverse as geodesy and …

Since John Bosch edited and published the first version of this book in 1995, the world of
manufacturing and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and coordinate measuring …

The scope of this keynote paper is to present the state of the art in the metrology of freeform
shapes with focus on the freeform capabilities of the most important measuring techniques …

Task specific uncertainty is the measurement uncertainty associated with the measurement
of a specific feature using a specific measurement plan. This paper surveys techniques …

In recent years, on-machine measurement (OMM) technology, which uses a touch-trigger
probe (TTP) installed on the machine tool (MT) spindle, has become increasingly popular …

Nowadays, errors during the manufacturing process of high value components are not
acceptable in driving industries such as energy and transportation. Sectors such as …

Advances in modern manufacturing techniques implies more efficient production but also
new tasks for coordinate metrology. The main of them is evaluation of accuracy of the …

An accurate assessment of the uncertainty associated with measured dimensions is
increasingly important in industrial routine. The GUM [1] provides definitions and suggests a …

The Coordinate Measuring Arms (CMAs) are modern, mobile measuring systems using
rotary joints in their kinematic. Their chief characteristic is redundancy. Therefore, it is …
