This standard describes detailed test procedures for the various applications of a coordinate measuring machine such as length measurement, form inspection, measurements with and without a rotary table etc. Prior to purchasing a coordinate measuring machine it is…

Website title: ISO10360 is the standard for CMM accuracy testing and performance verification. This site expresses the standard in terms that any CMM User can understand to ensure his supplier is performing the correct test and using the required procedures. A 'sticker' on your CMM is no longer enough! | This site provides the general CMM user, CMM buyer, CMM manager an overview of CMM accuracy and how to verify CMM uncertainty to the ISO10360 standard. Even though many CMM suppliers quote ISO10360 performance in their sales materials they fail to install and calibrate to this demanding standard. Also many of the 3rd party CMM calibration companies are only performing the obsolete B89 CMM accuracy verification test. Why? Lets keep them honest. Lives are at risk!
