Presentation abstract
Coordinate measuring machines (CMM) appear collected under the regulation ISO 10360-2, by the European Cooperation for Accreditation, where ENAC is associated to. This regulation refers to verification and not calibration, due to the enormous complexity and variety of the uses that can be given to these equipments.
The verification of CMM is more than just an obligation of the fulfilment of the internal quality regulations or the demands of a client of transcendental importance, and it always constitutes an opportunity to know and improve the status of our machines.
Additionally to this ISO verification, there are new methods to verify machines quickly, on just a couple of minutes, with the required recurrence; even in real-time, which gives us a total control over the quality of the carried out measurements.
This tutorial aims to clarify the difference between calibration, verification and adjustment of a CMM. It will explain the differences between each method, their advantages and inconveniences, and it also analyses in which cases each one of them should be used.
