SCANNING ON COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINES

T. Pfeifer, A. Napierala

Abstract

Single point detection has established itself in the past for the measurement of geometrical features with tactile coordinate measuring machines (CMM). Ongoing development in the field of control engineering has led to the socalled scanning technique as an alternative. Unlike single point detection, this technique allows measuring tasks to be accomplished with coordinate measuring machines which were previously restricted to dedicated measuring instruments. This article presents selective test results for the use of the scanning technology for size and form testing with coordinate measuring machines.
