    Management Uncertainty analysis of point by point sampling complex surfaces using touch probe CMMs

    No full text
    The paper describes a study concerning point by point scanning of complex surfaces using tactile CMMs. A four factors-two level full factorial experiment was carried out, involving measurements on a complex surface configuration item comprising a sphere, a cylinder and a cone, combined in a single assembly. An investigation on the source and effects of different uncertainty contributors during this complex surface measurement was carried out. The factors involved are machine, probe, and operator, as well as procedure, dependant. The results obtained from the experiments were analysed in terms of deviations from CAD model, repeatability, and measuring uncertainty. Statistical analysis and uncertainty budget are presented

    Factors affecting measurement uncertainty in industrial CMM work

    No full text
    An investigation is described, aimed at estimating effects of several factors on measurement uncertainty within an industrial environment. The case study concerns mainly tolerance verification on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) of a rather complex part. Obtained results highlight the importance of probe qualification in the case at hand, and show how substantial savings in cycle time may be obtained
