Full title and description

ISO 10360-6:2001 — Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) — Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) — Part 6: Estimation of errors in computing Gaussian associated features. This part of ISO 10360 specifies tests and evaluation methods for quantifying errors introduced when a CMM computes Gaussian-associated features from measured data.

Abstract

This standard defines acceptance and reverification test procedures for coordinate measuring machines focused on the estimation of errors occurring during the computation of Gaussian associated features (for example those derived from fitted Gaussian models used in feature computation). It provides test artefacts, measurement sequences, and evaluation formulas to assess the performance of a CMM for these computations.

Scope

ISO 10360-6:2001 applies to coordinate measuring machines and specifies acceptance and reverification tests for estimating errors that arise when computing Gaussian associated features from measured point data. The scope covers required artefacts or reference objects, measurement procedures, data processing steps and formulae for reporting the estimated errors so that CMM performance for Gaussian-based feature computations can be assessed and compared.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology relevant to Gaussian associated features and CMM testing.
• Specification of test artefacts, feature types and measurement sequences to be used for the assessment.
• Procedures for data acquisition, data fitting (Gaussian models) and computation of deviations/errors.
• Evaluation formulas and reporting conventions for presenting estimated computation errors.
• Reference to a Technical Corrigendum (ISO 10360-6:2001/Cor 1:2007) that corrects or clarifies specific points in the original text.

Typical use and users

Primary users are CMM manufacturers, calibration and testing laboratories, metrology engineers in manufacturing and quality assurance, and organizations performing acceptance testing and reconfirmation of CMM capability for tasks that rely on Gaussian-based feature computation. The standard is used to design test programs, verify CMM software/algorithms and to support supplier/customer acceptance tests.

Related standards

ISO 10360-6 is part of the ISO 10360 series covering acceptance and reverification tests for CMMs/CMSs; other parts address probing, imaging probing systems, optical distance sensors, multiple probing systems, laser trackers and articulated-arm CMMs among others. Users should consider nearby parts of ISO 10360 when assessing overall CMM performance.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10360-6:2001 is a part of the ISO 10360 series that specifies acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines; Part 6 addresses estimation of errors when computing Gaussian associated features.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers test artefacts, measurement procedures, data processing (Gaussian fitting) and evaluation formulas to quantify errors introduced by a CMM when computing Gaussian-associated features from measurement data.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: CMM manufacturers, calibration and metrology laboratories, quality engineers and anyone performing CMM acceptance or reverification tests that involve Gaussian-based feature computations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2001 edition (ISO 10360-6:2001) is the published edition and was subsequently issued with a Technical Corrigendum in 2007; ISO records show the edition was reviewed and confirmed (most recent systematic review actions recorded up to 2022), so the document remains the current published edition unless formally withdrawn or replaced by a later part.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10360 is a multipart series (various parts) addressing acceptance and reverification tests for CMMs and coordinate measuring systems (CMS). Part 6 specifically targets Gaussian associated feature computation errors.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Coordinate measuring machine (CMM), Gaussian associated features, acceptance tests, reverification, feature computation errors, GPS (geometrical product specifications).
