This guideline describes procedures for testing the performance of large coordinate measuring machines of various designs and makes. It applies to: acceptance tests serving to verify compliance of the CMM and its probe with the manufacturer´s specifications, reverification tests performed by the user for periodical checking of the CMM and its probes, interim checks performed by the user for monitoring the CMM and its probes in-between reverification tests. The guideline considers both manual and CNC-controlled coordinate measuring machines of single- as well as multi-arm designs.
