QUINDOS CMM Test with Ball PlateMTW-510-BPL-001


Evaluation of the Measuring Error of a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) by means of a Ball Plate.


With this package the measuring error of CMM can be checked in regular intervals by using a calibrated ball plate.

The program was developed according to the guidelines specified by the German working group "Überwachung von Dreikoordinatenmessgeräten mit Kugelplatte" and is certified by the PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt - national bureau of standards) in Germany.

The procedure and evaluations are according to VDI/VDE 2617, page 5.

The program to test the CMM consists of three parts
  1. Test of the probing system of the CMM, using a ring gauge and a reference sphere. The result of this test is the probing uncertainty and the repeatability of the probe system of the Coordinate Measuring Machine.
  2. Measuring and evaluating a calibrated ball plate. This test evaluates the geometric deviations of the CMM.
  3. Graphic and numeric output of the measurement results of the CMM acc. to the VDI/VDE 2617 guideline, page 5.
