Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring systems (CMS) - Part 5: CMMs using single and multiple stylus contacting probing systems using discrete point and/or scanning measuring mode

This document specifies acceptance and periodic reverification tests of CMM performance with contacting probing systems and is only applicable to CMMs using:

— any type of contacting probing system; and

— spherical or hemispherical stylus tip(s).

NOTE CMM probing performance tests are specified by the maximum permissible errors (MPEs), due to the impracticality of isolating the performance of the probing system from that of the CMM, even on a small artefact such as a test sphere.

This document applies to CMMs supplied with any of the following:

a) single-stylus probing systems;

b) multi-stylus probing systems with fixed multiple styli attached to a single probe (e.g. "star" stylus);

c) multiple probing systems such as those with a stylus for each of their probes;

d) systems with articulating probing systems;

e) stylus and probe changing systems;

f) manual (non-driven) and automated CMMs;

g) installations including a scanning probe, capable of being used in a scanning mode.

This document is not applicable to non-contacting probing systems, which require different testing procedures.

The term ?combined CMM and multi-stylus probing system size error' has been shortened to ?multi-stylus size error' for convenience. This applies in similar cases.

If it is desirable to isolate the probing system performance as far as is practical, the influence of the CMM can be minimized but not eliminated. See Annex C for more information.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

The Redline + service - standards comparator allows you to easily and simply identify major changes between the current standard and its last canceled version.

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.


The Redlines + service is offered to you on the collection of French standards in force, in French language and in HTML and PDF format.
