Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMS) - Part 10: Laser trackers for measuring point-to-point distances (ISO 10360-10:2016)

This part of ISO 10360 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a Laser Tracker by measuring calibrated test lengths as stated by the manufacturer. It also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the Laser Tracker. The acceptance and reverification tests given in this part of ISO 10360 are applicable only to Laser Trackers utilising a retroreflector as a probing system. Laser Trackers that use interferometry (IFM), absolute distance meter (ADM) measurement, or both may be verified using this part of ISO 10360.
This standard does not explicitly apply to measuring systems that do not use a spherical coordinate frame or to systems that use different probing accessories; however, the parties may apply this part of 10360 to such systems by mutual agreement.
This International Standard specifies:
- performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacture or the user of the Laser Tracker,
- the manner of execution of the acceptance and reverification tests to demonstrate the stated
requirements,
- rules for proving conformance, and
- applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used.

Geometrische Produktspezifikation (GPS) - Annahmeprüfung und Bestätigungsprüfung für Koordinatenmessgeräte (KMG) - Teil 10: Lasertracker (ISO 10360-10:2016)

In diesem Teil von ISO 10360 werden die Annahmeprüfungen zur Überprüfung der Leistungsfähigkeit eines Lasertrackers durch Messung von kalibrierten Prüflängen entsprechend den Spezifikationen des Herstellers festgelegt. Außerdem werden die Bestätigungsprüfungen festgelegt, die dem Anwender die periodische Über¬prüfung der Leistungsfähigkeit des Lasertrackers ermöglichen. Die in diesem Teil von ISO 10360 angegebe¬nen Annahme- und Bestätigungsprüfungen sind nur auf Lasertracker anwendbar, die einen Retroreflektor als Messkopfsystem verwenden. Lasertracker mit Interferometrie (IFM), absoluter Abstandsmessung (ADM) oder beiden können nach diesem Teil von ISO 10360 überprüft werden. Diese Norm kann auch für die Spezifi¬kation und Überprüfung der maßgeblichen Leistungsprüfungen anderer Koordinatenmesssysteme mit Kugel¬koordinaten herangezogen werden, die kooperative Zielmarken, wie z. B. "Laserradar"-Systeme, verwenden.
ANMERKUNG   Systeme, wie z. B. Laserradar-Systeme, die die Zielmarke nicht verfolgen, werden nicht auf Antast-abweichungen geprüft.
Diese Norm gilt nicht ausdrücklich für Messsysteme, die kein Kugelkoordinatensystem verwenden (d. h. zwei rechtwinklige Drehachsen mit einem gemeinsamen Schnittpunkt und einer dritten linearen Achse in radialer Richtung), in gegenseitigem Einvernehmen dürfen die Beteiligten diesen Teil von ISO 10360 jedoch auf solche Systeme anwenden.
Diese Internationale Norm legt Folgendes fest:
-   Leistungsanforderungen, die vom Hersteller oder vom Anwender des Lasertrackers aufgestellt werden können;
-   die Art und Weise der Ausführung der Annahme- und Bestätigungsprüfungen, um die festgelegten Anforderungen nachzuweisen;
-   Regeln für den Konformitätsnachweis; und
-   Anwendungen, für die die Annahme- und Bestätigungsprüfungen eingesetzt werden können.

Spécification géométrique des produits (GPS) - Essais de réception et de vérification périodique des machines à mesurer tridimensionnelles (MMT) - Partie 10: Suiveurs à laser pour mesurer les distances de point à point (ISO 10360-10:2016)

ISO 10360-10:2016 spécifie les essais de réception permettant de vérifier, en mesurant des longueurs d'essai, des sphères d'essai et des formes planes étalonnées, que les performances d'un laser de poursuite sont telles que spécifiées par le fabricant. Elle spécifie également les essais de vérification périodique permettant à l'utilisateur de vérifier périodiquement les performances du laser de poursuite. Les essais de réception et de vérification périodique décrits dans la présente partie de l'ISO 10360 s'appliquent uniquement aux lasers de poursuite utilisant un rétroréflecteur comme système de palpage. Les lasers de poursuite qui utilisent un mesurage par interférométrie (IFM) et/ou par un appareil de mesure des distances absolues (ADM) peuvent être vérifiés à l'aide de la présente partie de l'ISO 10360. La présente partie de l'ISO 10360 peut également être utilisée pour spécifier et vérifier les essais de performance pertinents d'autres systèmes de mesure par coordonnées sphériques qui emploient des cibles coopératives, tels que les systèmes «radar à laser».
NOTE Les systèmes tels que les systèmes radar à laser qui ne poursuivent pas la cible, ne feront pas l'objet d'essais de performance de palpage.
ISO 10360-10:2016 ne s'applique pas explicitement aux systèmes de mesure qui n'utilisent pas de système de coordonnées sphériques (c'est-à-dire deux axes de rotation orthogonaux ayant un point d'intersection commun avec un troisième axe linéaire dans le sens radial). Toutefois, les parties peuvent mutuellement convenir d'appliquer la présente partie de l'ISO 10360 à de tels systèmes.
ISO 10360-10:2016 spécifie
- les exigences de performance qui peuvent être fixées par le fabricant ou l'utilisateur du laser de poursuite;
- l'exécution des essais de réception et de vérification périodique pour démontrer les exigences spécifiées;
- les règles pour prouver la conformité et
- les applications pour lesquelles les essais de réception et de vérification périodique peuvent être utilisés.

Specifikacija geometrijskih veličin izdelka (GPS) - Preskusi sprejemljivosti in ponovnega preverjanja strojev za merjenje koordinat - 10. del: Laserski 3D merilniki za merjenje razdalj točka-točka (ISO 10360-10:2016)

Ta del standarda ISO 10360 določa preskuse sprejemljivosti za preverjanje delovanja laserskega 3D merilnika z merjenjem dolžin umerjenega preskusa, kot jih navaja proizvajalec. Določa tudi preskuse ponovnega preverjanja, ki uporabniku omogočajo redno ponovno preverjanje delovanja laserskega 3D merilnika. Preskusi sprejemljivosti in ponovnega preverjanja, podani v tem delu standarda ISO 10360, veljajo samo za laserske 3D merilnike, ki uporabljajo retroreflektor kot sondirni sistem. Z uporabo tega dela standarda ISO 10360 se lahko preverijo laserski 3D merilniki, ki uporabljajo interferometrijo (IFM), absolutno merjenje dolžin (ADM) ali oboje.
Čeprav se ta standard izrecno ne uporablja za merilne sisteme, ki ne uporabljajo sferičnega koordinatnega okvirja, ali sisteme, ki uporabljajo druge sondirne pripomočke, se lahko zainteresirane strani dogovorijo, da bodo ta del standarda 10360 uporabile za take sisteme.
Ta mednarodni standard določa:
– zahteve za delovanje, ki jih lahko določi proizvajalec ali uporabnik laserskega 3D merilnika,
– način izvedbe preskusov sprejemljivosti in ponovnega preverjanja za prikaz navedenih
zahtev,
– pravila za preverjanje skladnosti ter
– vrste uporabe, za katere se lahko uporabijo preskusi sprejemljivosti in ponovnega preverjanja.

Introduction
This part of ISO 10360 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a
general GPS standard (see ISO 14638). It influences link F of the chains of standards on size, distance,
radius, angle, form, orientation, location, and run-out.
The ISO/GPS matrix model given in ISO 14638 gives an overview of the ISO/GPS system of which this
document is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO/GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this part of ISO 10360
and the default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this
part of ISO 10360, unless otherwise indicated.
More detailed information on the relation of this part of ISO 10360 to other standards and the GPS
matrix model can be found in Annex I.
The objective of this part of ISO 10360 is to provide a well-defined testing procedure for a) laser tracker
manufacturers to specify performance by maximum permissible errors (MPEs), and b) to allow testing
of these specifications using calibrated, traceable test lengths, test spheres, and flats. The benefits of
these tests are that the measured result has a direct traceability to the unit of length, the metre, and
that it gives information on how the laser tracker will perform on similar length measurements.
This part of ISO 10360 is distinct from that of ISO 10360-2, which is for coordinate measuring machines
(CMMs) equipped with contact probing systems, in that the orientation of the test lengths reflect the
different instrument geometry and error sources within the instrument.

Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Acceptance
and reverification tests for coordinate measuring
systems (CMS) —
Part 10:
Laser trackers for measuring point-to-point distances
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10360 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a laser tracker
by measuring calibrated test lengths, test spheres and flats according to the specifications of the
manufacturer. It also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the
performance of the laser tracker. The acceptance and reverification tests given in this part of ISO 10360
are applicable only to laser trackers utilizing a retro-reflector as a probing system. Laser trackers
that use interferometry (IFM), absolute distance meter (ADM) measurement, or both can be verified
using this part of ISO 10360. This part of ISO 10360 can also be used to specify and verify the relevant
performance tests of other spherical coordinate measurement systems that use cooperative targets,
such as “laser radar” systems.
NOTE Systems, such as laser radar systems, which do not track the target, will not be tested for probing
performance.
This part of ISO 10360 does not explicitly apply to measuring systems that do not use a spherical
coordinate system (i.e. two orthogonal rotary axes having a common intersection point with a third
linear axis in the radial direction). However, the parties can apply this part of ISO 10360 to such systems
by mutual agreement.
This part of ISO 10360 specifies
— performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacturer or the user of the laser tracker,
— the manner of execution of the acceptance and reverification tests to demonstrate the stated
requirements,
— rules for proving conformance, and
— applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
laser tracker
coordinate measuring system in which a cooperative target is followed with a laser beam and its
location determined in terms of a distance (range) and two angles
Note 1 to entry: The two angles are referred to as azimuth, θ (rotation about a vertical axis – the standing axis of
the laser tracker) and elevation, φ (angle above a horizontal plane – perpendicular to the standing axis).
3.2
interferometric measurement mode
IFM mode
measurement method that uses a laser displacement interferometer integrated in a laser tracker (3.1)
to determine distance (range) to a target
Note 1 to entry: Displacement interferometers can only determine differences in distance, and therefore require
a reference distance (e.g. home position).
3.3
absolute distance measurement mode
ADM mode
measurement method that uses time of flight instrumentation integrated in a laser tracker (3.1) to
determine the distance (range) to a target
Note 1 to entry: Time of flight instrumentation may include a variety of modulation methods to calculate the
distance to the target.
3.4
retroreflector
passive device designed to reflect light back parallel to the incident direction over a range of
incident angles
Note 1 to entry: Typical retroreflectors are the cat’s-eye, the cube corner, and spheres of special material.
Note 2 to entry: Retroreflectors are cooperative targets.
Note 3 to entry: For certain systems, e.g. laser radar, the retroreflector might be a cooperative target such as a
polished sphere.
3.5
spherically mounted retroreflector
SMR
retroreflector (3.4) that is mounted in a spherical housing
Note 1 to entry: In the case of an open-air cube corner, the vertex is typically adjusted to be coincident with the
sphere centre.
Note 2 to entry: The tests in this part of ISO 10360 are typically executed with a spherically mounted
retroreflector.
Note 3 to entry: See Figure 1.
3.6
stylus and retroreflector combination
SRC
probing system that determines the measurement point utilizing a probe stylus to contact the
workpiece, a retroreflector (3.4) to determine the base location of the probe, and other means to find
the stylus orientation unit vector
Note 1 to entry: The datum for the stylus tip offset (L) is the centre of the retroreflector.

Note 1 to entry: E and E (used frequently in this part of ISO 10360) correspond to the common case
Uni:0:LT Bi:0:LT
of no stylus tip offset, as the retroreflector optical centre coincides with the physical centre of the probing system
for spherically mounted retroreflectors.

3.10
normal CTE material
−6 −6
material with a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between 8 × 10 / °C and 13 × 10 / °C
[SOURCE: ISO 10360-2:2009]
Note 1 to entry: Some documents may express CTE in units 1/K, which is equivalent to 1/ °C.
3.11
probing form error
P
Form.Sph.1x25::SMR.LT
error of indication within which the range of Gaussian radial distances can be determined by a least-
squares fit of 25 points measured by a laser tracker (3.1) on a spherical material standard of size
Note 1 to entry: Only one least-squares fit is performed, and each point is evaluated for its distance (radius) from
this fitted centre.
3.12
probing size error
P
Size.Sph.1x25::SMR.LT
error of indication of the diameter of a spherical material standard of size as determined by a least-
squares fit of 25 points measured with a laser tracker (3.1)
3.13
location error
two-face error
plunge and reverse error
L
Dia.2x1:P&R:LT
the distance, perpendicular to the beam path, between two measurements of a stationary retroreflector
(3.4), where the second measurement is taken with the laser tracker (3.1) azimuth axis at approximately
180° from the first measurement and the laser tracker elevation angle is approximately the same
Note 1 to entry: This combination of axis rotations is known as a two face, or plunge and reverse, test.
Note 2 to entry: The laser tracker base is fixed during this test.
3.14
maximum permissible error of length measurement
E
Uni:L:LT,MPE
E
Bi:L:LT,MPE
extreme value of the length measurement error, E or E , permitted by specifications
