Full title and description

STB DIN EN ISO 10360-8 E 2011-06 — Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) — Part 8: CMMs with optical distance sensors. This designation refers to the German/European draft/adoption form of ISO/DIS 10360‑8 issued in June 2011 (E DIN EN ISO 10360‑8:2011‑06). The document defines acceptance and periodic reverification tests and the associated measurement parameters used to characterise the probing performance of CMMs that employ optical distance sensors (ODS).

Abstract

This standard (draft/adoption 2011) specifies methods to determine and verify the performance of coordinate measuring machines that use optical distance sensors for length and probing measurements. It defines test artefacts, test sequences and performance parameters used for acceptance and reverification, and gives rules for proving conformance to declared performance. The part focuses on Cartesian CMMs with ODS and complements other parts of the ISO 10360 series that address contacting, imaging and multi‑probe systems.

Scope

This part of ISO 10360 (draft 2011 form) defines acceptance and periodic reverification tests to check the performance of Cartesian coordinate measuring machines when measuring calibrated lengths and when using optical distance sensors as the probing system. The tests are intended to quantify probing performance (form, dispersion and size errors) and to verify that a CMM meets the performance declared by the manufacturer or required by the user. It is primarily aimed at Cartesian CMMs with ODS; application to non‑Cartesian machines is by agreement between parties. The standard specifies test artefacts, test procedures, statistical evaluation and rules for demonstrating conformance.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of performance parameters specific to optical distance sensors: probing form error, probing dispersion (repeatability) and probing size error.
• Acceptance test procedures to evaluate length measurement and probing performance on specified artefacts (precision spheres, gauge lengths, etc.).
• Reverification (periodic) test methods and recommended sampling strategies for ODS measurements.
• Statistical evaluation rules, maximum permissible errors (MPE) expressions and pass/fail criteria for declared performance.
• Requirements for test artefacts, environmental conditions and measurement strategies (sampling grids, scan/point strategies) to ensure reproducible results.
• Guidance on applying the tests to different CMM configurations and on reporting test results for acceptance and calibration records.

Typical use and users

Used by CMM manufacturers (to state and verify declared probing performance), metrology laboratories, in‑house quality and inspection departments, calibration service providers, and research groups working on coordinate metrology and optical probing techniques. Typical applications are acceptance testing of new CMMs, periodic reverification for quality systems, supplier qualification and method validation for optical probing systems.

Related standards

This part belongs to the ISO 10360 series of standards for acceptance and reverification of coordinate measuring systems (other parts include ISO 10360‑1, ‑2, ‑4, ‑5, ‑6, ‑7, ‑9, ‑12, etc.). The 2011 draft/national EN form was later replaced by subsequent national/EN publications (referenced as DIN EN ISO 10360‑8:2012‑06) and the final ISO edition for part 8 appears in later ISO catalogues (ISO 10360‑8 published in the ISO series). Users should consult the current ISO 10360 part‑8 edition and neighbouring parts for comprehensive test and reporting rules.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the German/EN draft/adoption form labelled E DIN EN ISO 10360-8:2011-06 for ISO/DIS 10360‑8, covering acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines that use optical distance sensors. The document was issued in mid‑2011 in draft/adoption form.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The standard defines test artefacts, measurement procedures, sampling strategies and statistical evaluation rules to quantify and verify the probing performance of CMMs using optical distance sensors — including parameters for probing form error, probing dispersion (repeatability) and probing size error, and rules for acceptance and periodic reverification.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: CMM manufacturers, calibration and metrology laboratories, quality/inspection teams in industry, and research groups in coordinate metrology — whenever optical distance sensor performance needs to be specified, accepted or periodically checked.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2011 E‑designation entry is a draft/national adoption form that was subsequently withdrawn in its draft form and replaced by later national/EN editions (references show replacement by DIN EN ISO 10360‑8:2012‑06). ISO catalogues list a later ISO 10360‑8 edition (finalised in the ISO series after the draft). In short: the 2011 draft form is not the final current ISO part‑8; users should consult the latest ISO/DIN/EN publication for the current authoritative text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 10360 series (Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines/systems). Other parts cover contacting probes, scanning modes, imaging probes, multiple probes, estimation of errors for Gaussian features, articulated arms and laser trackers.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Coordinate measuring machine (CMM), optical distance sensor (ODS), acceptance test, reverification, probing form, probing dispersion, probing size error, MPE, geometrical product specification (GPS), ISO 10360.
