Considerations to the verification of optical measuring machines according to ISO 10360

Standard ISO 10360-7:2011 [1] establishes the principles for the acceptance and verification of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) equipped with imaging probing systems, in order to determine the different maximum errors allowed in the measurement. By analyzing the standard, we have verified that all the potentialities that these machines present, among them the acquisition of a high number of probing points, are not used. In this paper we propose an alternative method of verification of optical measuring machines (OMMs), using the recommendations of ISO 10360-7: 2011 with some modifications to it.
