Abstract

This paper propose a procedure to estimate uncertainties in measurement process using the coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) in the aim to inspect manufacturing surface parameters. On these machines, surfaces must be measured by a number of points higher than the parameters necessary to their mathematical definitions. However, the representation of the same element can be very different according to the average materials and the protocol used during the measuring step. The real contact points between the stylus and the measured surface being unknown, one substitutes to it a measured point. This last is calculated starting from coordinates of the stylus center, the normal vector (ni), and the stylus radius, which generates uncertainty on the real position of the measured point. This uncertainty is even propagated on the inspected surface parameters. The procedure proposed by this work permits to estimate the uncertainties on the surface parameters which characterize the geometrical surface, a data processing model in Visual Basic 6 was developed which makes it possible automatically to determine the whole of these parameters, and thus their uncertainties.
