Parts with high-quality freeform surfaces have been widely used in industries, which require
strict quality control during the manufacturing process. Among all the industrial inspection …

In recent years, on-machine measurement (OMM) technology, which uses a touch-trigger
probe (TTP) installed on the machine tool (MT) spindle, has become increasingly popular …

This keynote paper gives an overview of emerging technologies of feature-based
characterisation, for surface topographies having features. It is complementary to …

Computer-Aided Inspection Planning (CAIP) has been a research topic for the past 25 years.
Most of the CAIP systems were developed for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). The …

Coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) have been widely used in inspecting
mechanical parts with higher accuracy. Both the distribution and the number of the sampled …

Combining multiple sensors on CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines) is useful to fulfil
the increasing requirements on both complexity and accuracy in dimensional metrology. Yet …

Efficient sampling methods enable the reconstruction of a generic surface with a limited
amount of points. The reconstructed surface can therefore be used for inspection purpose. In …

The two most important factors in sampling during coordinate verification of a surface are the
number of measuring points that accurately represent the surface and the distribution of …

The components with freeform surface are widely used in industrial fields. The machining
quality of freeform surface becomes increasingly significant. Coordinate measuring machine …

Coordinate measuring machines are widely used in the precision measurement of
manufacturing workpieces. However, the nature of a point-by-point probing characteristic …
