    Objectives
    • The purpose of and how to apply the
    coordinate measuring system
    • The main components and operation
    of the measuring unit
    • The advantages of the coordinate
    measuring system
    16-3

    Coordinate Measuring System


    • Measurements
    dimensioned from three
    rectangular coordinates
    – X, Y, and Z
    – High degree of accuracy
    • To .000050 in. or 0.001 mm
    • Achieved using moiré fringe
    • Machines widely used in
    field of measurement and
    Lathe equipped with inspection
    coordinate measuring system

    Parts of the Measuring Unit


    • Three basic components
    – Machined spar with calibrated grating
    – Reading head
    – Counter with digital readout display
    • Grating spar etched to .0001 in. resolution
    – Can have resolution of .000050 in.
    • Transparent index grating mounted in
    reading head
    – Same resolution as Grating spar
    16-5

    Principle of the Moiré Fringe


    • Example: Two pieces of plastic sheeting,
    each with a series of equally spaced lines
    • Place one sheet over
    other at angle
    • Lines cross, give
    dark bands
    • As move top sheet to right, position of bands
    shift down (bands move vertically)

    Advantages of the Coordinate


    Measuring System
    • Readout boxes provide clear, visible
    numbers
    • Provides constant readout of tool position
    • Reading indicates exact position of tool and
    not affected by machine or lead screw wear
    • System eliminates need for gage blocks and
    measuring rods on jig borers and vertical
    milling machines
    16-9

    Advantages of the Coordinate


    Measuring System
    • Eliminates need for operator calculations
    and inherent possibility of errors
    • Machine setup time is greatly reduced
    • Production increased since workpiece must
    be checked for one size only
    • Reduces need for operator skill
    • Eliminates scrap and rework
    • Most machine tools can be fitted with system
    16-10

    Coordinate Measuring Machines


    • Developed to speed up process of measuring
    parts produced on NC machine tools
    • Can measure almost any shape with extreme
    accuracy and without use of special gages
    • Computer controlled
    • Installed on production lines
    – Automate inspection
    – Minimize operator error
    – Provide uniform part quality
