Test code for machine tools — Part 13: Guidelines for the determination of the measuring performance of machine tools equipped with contacting probes and used as coordinate measuring machines

Scope

This document provides information and guidelines related to the determination of the measuring
performance of machine tools used as Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). It includes consideration of different use cases, guidance on the selection of suitable test methods, information about the application of the test methods, and the environmental and metrological conditions.
This document addresses machine tools with at least two orthogonal linear axes using only contacting probing systems of any type operating in the discrete-point probing mode for measuring movements only with linear axes.
This document does not explicitly address:
─ parallel kinematic machine tools
─ machine tools using probing systems used in scanning mode or non-contacting probing systems.
