CMM Checks and Gauges

What does monitoring mean?

The monitoring of a measuring device serves to quickly and randomly check the metrological accuracy during operation and is based on the requirements of test equipment monitoring according to DIN ISO 9000 to DIN ISO 9004. The accuracy to be maintained and the monitoring interval are determined by the operator himself, taking into account the production-related requirements. Acceptance test This is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and procedures. Confirmation test This is carried out according to the user's specifications and the manufacturer's procedures. Intermediate test ISO 10360 strongly recommends that measuring instruments be monitored regularly in the interval between the periodic confirmatory tests. The interval of the intermediate test should depend on the environmental conditions and the required performance. The measuring instrument should be checked immediately after any significant incident that may affect the performance of the instrument. The scope of the intermediate verification described in this part of ISO 10360 may be reduced in the number of measurements, positions and directions.
