Service Detail
What the Calibration Covers
Standards, equipment types, performance parameters, and reference methods — the four axes that define a CMM calibration deliverable.
Standards
Standards Followed
CMM acceptance and reverification testing is performed under the ISO 10360 family and ASME B89.4.10360.2. The combination of length-measurement (E0) and probing (P) acceptance tests covers the headline performance characterization expected by quality auditors and OEMs.
Standard selection is dictated by the equipment family being calibrated and the buyer's downstream audit requirements (AS9100, IATF 16949, ISO 9001).
ISO 10360-2 CMM calibration
Length-measurement performance test (size and length error E0, EL, repeatability R0) using step gauge, ISO 3650 gauge blocks, ball bar, and laser interferometer; the headline acceptance test for bridge and gantry CMMs.
ISO 10360-5 CMM calibration
Probing performance test (form and size error) using a 10-50 mm calibrated test sphere; companion test to ISO 10360-2.
ASME B89.4.1 CMM calibration
Legacy US performance-evaluation standard for CMMs (now superseded by B89.4.10360.2). Artifacts: ball bar, reference sphere, step gauge.
ASME B89 CMM calibration
ASME B89 standards family covering CMMs and adjacent dimensional metrology: B89.4.10360.2 (CMM performance), B89.4.19 (laser trackers, adjacent context only), B89.4.22 (articulated arms), and B89.7.x (traceability and uncertainty).
Equipment
CMM Types Calibrated
Calibration is performed across all major CMM topologies: bridge, gantry, horizontal-arm, and portable / articulated-arm machines. The artifact set deployed is matched to the equipment family and envelope coverage required.
Bridge
Moveable-bridge and moveable-table / fixed-bridge configurations - the most common CMM topology across general manufacturing and quality labs.
Gantry
Large-envelope gantry machines used for aerospace and automotive body-in-white inspection; laser-interferometer and ball-bar setups typical for large measurement volumes.
Horizontal arm
Plate-mounted, runway-mounted single-arm, and runway-mounted dual-arm horizontal-arm CMMs typical of automotive body checking.
Articulated arm
6-axis and 7-axis (scanning wrist) portable articulated arms, evaluated per ASME B89.4.22 and ISO 10360-12:2016. Includes hard-probe and laser-scanning-probe configurations.
Parameters
Performance Parameters Verified
A full calibration cycle characterizes volumetric accuracy (ISO 10360-2 MPE_E), probing performance (ISO 10360-5 MPE_P), and — where the customer requires it — 21-parameter parametric error mapping via laser interferometer.
CMM volumetric accuracy
Headline output of an ISO 10360-2 calibration. Artifact set includes hole plate, ball-bar / Invar ball bar, QuikChek, ball plate, calibrated gauge blocks, and laser interferometer.
CMM probe performance
ISO 10360-5 acceptance and reverification using 125-point reference-sphere probing for single-stylus, multi-stylus star, articulating, and stylus / probe-changer configurations across discrete and scanning probes.
21-parameter CMM error mapping
Characterizes the 21 parametric errors (3 linear positioning, 6 straightness, 9 angular pitch / yaw / roll, 3 squareness) using laser interferometer, ball plate, ball-and-cone artifact, end / length bar, gauge blocks, KOBA step gauge, and swift-check gauge.
Tactile sensor CMM
Probe qualification for touch-trigger kinematic, analog continuous-contact scanning, strain-gauge, piezoelectric, and LVDT sensors against a calibrated masterball per ISO 10360-5.
Methods
Calibration Methods and Reference Artifacts
Method selection follows the standard chosen and the CMM's measurement envelope. Laser interferometers, step gauges, ball plates, ball bars, and reference spheres are deployed as required.
Volumetric ball bar
Uncalibrated and calibrated / traceable archival ball bars, length-standard ball bars, and Renishaw QC20 telescoping ballbars; 20-position volumetric performance test.
Laser interferometer
Heterodyne, homodyne, multi-axis 6-DOF, Michelson, Zeeman-stabilized HeNe, AOM, and SIOS-style linear-axis displacement interferometers - the primary instrument for 21-parameter error mapping and large-envelope volumetric verification.
