Abstract

Coordinate measuring machines in various branches of industry within last years became very common. Measuring machines can be used e.g. for direct determination of correction values for machine tools in production cycle. In the paper a description of closed loop of machine tool and coordinate measuring machine was given. Thus CMM generates a correction file with data including crankshaft geometry. Position of crankshaft during measurements was analyzed and holder for crankshaft was designed and made. Probe pins configuration was prepared and measuring program was elaborated. As a result even a non-skilled operator can easily prepare a floppy with correction file.
