Full title and description

Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) — Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) — Part 4: CMMs used in scanning measuring mode (ISO 10360-4:2000). This part of ISO 10360 defines test artefacts, measurement procedures and performance checks used to verify the scanning performance of coordinate measuring machines operating in scanning measuring mode.

Abstract

ISO 10360-4:2000 specifies acceptance and periodic reverification tests specifically for CMMs when operated in scanning mode. The standard describes test setups, required artefacts and measurement sequences to characterise scanning probing performance and to report results in a reproducible way. This part was later corrected by a 2002 corrigendum and has been superseded by a later consolidated part of the series.

Scope

Applies to acceptance and reverification testing of coordinate measuring machines used in scanning measuring mode. The standard gives methods to evaluate scanning probing performance (including test artefacts, scanning strategies and reporting formats) so that CMM suppliers and users can assess whether the machine meets specified performance limits when used in scanning applications. It is specific to scanning mode and was created to complement other parts of the ISO 10360 series that cover discrete-point probing and other configurations.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and vocabulary for scanning probing and related terms (cross-references to ISO 10360 vocabulary).
• Specification of test artefacts (spheres, gauge features and reference artefacts) and environmental conditions for valid tests.
• Detailed test procedures and measurement sequences for scanning measurements (including probe paths, speeds and datum setups).
• Performance criteria and reporting formats for scanning probing errors and repeatability, enabling comparison with maximum permissible errors (MPE) or supplier specifications.
• Guidance on the influence of probing system and CMM combined behaviour (limitations of isolating probing-system errors from volumetric CMM errors).

Typical use and users

CMM manufacturers, metrology and calibration laboratories, quality engineers, inspection managers and purchasers use ISO 10360-4:2000 (or its successor parts) to define acceptance tests, perform periodic reverification and to specify or verify scanning performance during procurement and validation of CMMs intended for scanning measurement tasks. Users typically apply the procedures during factory acceptance testing, installation verification and scheduled requalification.

Related standards

ISO 10360 is a multi-part series. Closely related parts include ISO 10360-1 (vocabulary), ISO 10360-2 (CMMs used for measuring size / length tests), ISO 10360-3 (CMMs with a rotary table as a fourth axis), and the later consolidated part ISO 10360-5:2020 which covers contacting probing systems including discrete-point and scanning modes and effectively supersedes the earlier Part 4. Several national/adopted versions (EN, BS, DIN, etc.) and corrigenda also exist.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10360-4:2000 is a part of the ISO 10360 series that specified acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines when used in scanning measuring mode.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers test artefacts, measurement procedures, scanning probe paths and reporting formats to evaluate a CMM’s scanning probing performance; it was intended to ensure reproducible acceptance and periodic verification of scanning-capable CMMs.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: CMM manufacturers, independent calibration/metrology laboratories, quality/inspection engineers and organizations procuring or qualifying CMMs for scanning measurements.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10360-4:2000 has been withdrawn and effectively superseded by later work in the ISO 10360 series—notably ISO 10360-5 (the 2020 edition) which consolidates acceptance/reverification tests for contacting probing systems including scanning and discrete-point modes. The original Part 4 was published in March 2000 and amended by a corrigendum in 2002; users are normally directed to the newer Part 5 (2020) for current requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 10360 series (multiple parts covering vocabulary, length/volumetric errors, rotary-table machines, probing-system tests, error estimation for feature computation, etc.). For up-to-date test methods for probing systems and scanning, consult the later parts (for example ISO 10360-5:2020).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Coordinate measuring machine (CMM), scanning mode, probing system, acceptance test, reverification, maximum permissible error (MPE), test artefact, ISO 10360.
