Abstract

In this paper, a new method of testing of the repeatability of stylus change of modular probes used in coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is proposed. The principle of the method is presented. The validity of the method is experimentally confirmed on a bridge Zeiss ACCURA CMM by testing positioning accuracy of magnetic joins the three popular probes: TP20 (Renishaw), VAST Gold (Zeiss) and VAST XXT (Zeiss).
