The Coordinate Measuring Machines capable of automated measurement are being widely
used in on-line and off-line inspection. The measurement data obtained from these …

The ANSI Y14. 5 National Standard on Dimensioning and Tolerancing definition for form
tolerances requires the form error of a surface to be less than some set limit. However, most …

Evaluation of form error is a critical aspect of many manufacturing processes. Machines such
as the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) often employ the technique of the least …

A new minimum zone method for straightness error analysis is proposed in this article.
Based on the criteria for the minimum zone solution and strict rules for data exchange, a …

coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a computer-controlled device that uses a probe to
obtain measurements on a manufactured part's surface, usually one point at a time. Probe …

This paper presents an optimization approach that could be used to calculate exact values
of straightness and flatness errors as defined by the ANSI Y14. 5M standards on geometric …

This paper presents a unified least-squares approach to the best fit of geometric features
and evaluation of dimensional errors. The study originated from the need for advanced …
