Full title and description

Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) — Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) — Part 3: CMMs with the axis of a rotary table as the fourth axis. This ISO standard defines the acceptance/reverification test procedures and required test artefacts for evaluating the metrological performance of CMMs that include a rotary table (4th axis). The standard is published by ISO and is available for purchase as a PDF from ISO and national standards bodies.

Abstract

ISO 10360-3:2000 specifies test methods and performance criteria to assess the measuring capability of coordinate measuring machines equipped with a rotary table used as a fourth axis. The tests quantify error components introduced by the rotary axis (radial, tangential and axial effects) and provide a repeatable procedure for acceptance and periodic reverification of such CMM configurations.

Scope

Specifies acceptance and reverification test procedures for CMMs that incorporate a rotary table acting as a fourth axis. Tests are designed to evaluate the influence of the rotary axis on measured coordinates and on probing performance by using calibrated artefacts (for example reference spheres) in multiple rotary positions; results are used to determine whether the machine meets stated performance limits. The procedures are intended for laboratory, factory acceptance and periodic reverification contexts.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of test artefacts and measurement setups for rotary-table-equipped CMMs (reference spheres and defined rotary positions).
• Procedures to determine radial, tangential and axial error contributions introduced by the rotary axis.
• Repeatability and reproducibility requirements for measured positions across rotary-table orientations.
• Acceptance/reverification decision criteria (comparison of measured error quantities with declared performance limits).
• Requirements for environmental conditions, stylus systems and calibration references used during testing.

Typical use and users

Used by metrology and quality engineers, CMM manufacturers, calibration laboratories, inspection service providers and production engineering teams for: acceptance testing of newly delivered CMMs with rotary tables, periodic reverification in quality systems, supplier evaluation and forensic investigation of measurement errors attributed to rotary axes. The standard helps ensure comparable, traceable verification of rotary-axis CMM performance.

Related standards

ISO 10360-3 is part of the ISO 10360 series for CMM acceptance and reverification tests; related parts include ISO 10360-1 (vocabulary), ISO 10360-2 (CMMs used for measuring linear dimensions), ISO 10360-4 (scanning mode — historically part of the series), ISO 10360-5, -6 and later parts addressing specific probing and sensor types and CMS configurations. Users commonly reference other GPS and uncertainty standards (for example ISO/TC 213 outputs and ISO 15530 series) when applying ISO 10360 procedures.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10360-3:2000 is an ISO standard that specifies acceptance and reverification test methods for coordinate measuring machines that use a rotary table as a fourth axis.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers test artefacts, measurement procedures and decision criteria to evaluate the effects of the rotary axis on measurement results (including radial, tangential and axial error components), plus requirements for environmental and stylus conditions during tests.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Metrology engineers, inspection/calibration laboratories, CMM manufacturers and quality managers who need standardized, repeatable acceptance and periodic verification procedures for rotary-table-equipped CMMs.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10360-3:2000 (Edition 1, March 2000) is shown in the ISO catalogue as published and was confirmed during routine review (confirmation recorded in 2021), so this edition remains current unless a later revision is published. Users should check the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for any subsequent revision or withdrawal notices.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO 10360 series (acceptance and reverification tests for CMMs), which includes multiple parts covering vocabulary, length tests, scanning, probing systems and other sensor configurations; practitioners normally apply the relevant parts together for complete CMM verification.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Coordinate measuring machine, rotary table, 4th axis, acceptance test, reverification, radial/tangential/axial error, probing, metrology, ISO 10360.
