Chapter 7 Coordinate Metrology
Chapter 7 Coordinate Metrology
1. Introduction
Enable 3 dimensional measurement to be carried out on complex object in a single setup
Coordinate measuring machine, CMM
Reduce time for measurement & inspection
0.001mm resolution
2. Coordinate system
Machine coordinate relative to fixed origin on the machine
Part coordinate relative to datum on the part to be measured

6. Computer Functions
Correction
- Deflection of the machine frames, thermal effects, radius of prove, deflection of the probe
- Reduce the systematic error
Transformation
- converted to coordinate system of the work piece <-> rotary table
