NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 7) which is identical with ISO 10360-7 : 2011 ‘Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) — Part 7: CMMs equipped with imaging probing systems’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Engineering Metrology Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

The tests of this part of the standard have two technical objectives:

a) to test the error of indication of a calibrated test length using an imaging probing system;

b) to test the errors in the imaging probing system.

The benefits of these tests are that the measured result has a direct traceability to the unit length, the meter, and that it gives information on how the CMM will perform on similar length measurements.

This Indian Standard is published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Vocabulary

Part 2 CMMs used for measuring linear dimensions

Part 3 CMMs with the axis of a rotary table as the fourth axis

Part 4 CMMs used in scanning measuring mode

Part 5 CMMs using single and multiple stylus contacting probing systems

Part 6 Estimation of errors in computing Gaussian associated features

Part 8 CMMs with optical distance sensors

Part 9 CMMs with multiple probing systems

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
