ISO 10360‑10 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a laser tracker by measuring calibrated test lengths, according to the specifications of the manufacturer. ISO 10360‑10 also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the laser tracker. Laser trackers that use interferometric measurement (IFM), absolute distance measurement (ADM) or both can be verified using ISO 10360‑10.
ISO 10360‑10 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.
ISO 10360‑10 specifies:
NOTE 1: 10360‑10 does not explicitly apply to measuring systems that do not use a spherical coordinate system.
NOTE 2: Systems that do not track the target, such as laser radar systems, will not be tested for probing performance.
ISO 10360‑10 on acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring systems is beneficial for:
Geometrical product specifications (GPS) are the international symbol language used to express tolerances in technical drawings. Geometrical product specifications (GPS) are the nominal geometry of the components that make up the product.
The acceptance and reverification tests given ISO 10360‑10 are applicable to laser trackers utilizing a retroreflector, or a retroreflector in combination with a stylus or optical distance sensor, as a probing system.
ISO 10360‑10 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general GPS standard.
The objective of ISO 10360‑10 is to provide a well-defined testing procedure for:
The benefits of these tests are that the measured result has direct traceability to the unit of length, the metre and that it gives information to the user on how the laser tracker will perform on similar length measurements.
Overall, ISO 10360‑10 is helpful because ISO 10360‑10 provides you guidance on how to perform tests by determining the positions of optical targets held against those objects.
