BS EN ISO 10360-13:2021

What is ISO 10360‑13- 3- Acceptance and reverification tests for CMS about? 

ISO 10360‑13 specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of an optical 3D coordinate measuring system (CMS) when measuring lengths as stated by the manufacturer. It also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the optical 3D CMS. 

ISO 10360‑13 specifies: 

• Performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacturer or the user of the CMS 
• The manner of execution of the acceptance and reverification tests to demonstrate the stated requirements 
• Rules for verifying conformance 
• Applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used 

NOTE 1: ISO 10360‑13 does not apply to other types of CMSs, including those covered by the other parts of the ISO 10360 series. 

NOTE 2: The optical 3D CMS can be moved and positioned by a manually or automated moving unit. The position, orientation, or both can be used as additional information for the registration. 

NOTE 3: The acceptance and reverification tests are designed to mimic real but simple measurements occurring in practice, subject to the rated operating conditions and the testing procedures. The user is advised to consider the influence of additional or omitted conditions, procedural steps, or both when applying the test results according to this document to predict the performance of an actual CMS. 

Who is ISO 10360‑13- 3- Acceptance and reverification tests for CMS for? 

ISO 10360‑13 on Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring systems is beneficial for: 

• Electrical engineers 
• Technicians 
• Meteorologists 
• Electricians and those who work in the electrical department 
• People who specialize in physics 
• Suppliers of electricity metering equipment  

Why should you use ISO 10360‑13- Acceptance and reverification tests for CMS? 

An optical 3D CMS as specified by ISO 10360‑13 is a contactless area measuring sensor delivering 3D data in several individual single views by an optical measuring principle and transforming it into a common coordinate system. 

ISO 10360‑13 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general GPS standard. 

ISO 10360‑13 has two technical objectives: 

• To test the error of indication when measuring a calibrated test length across the global measuring volume of the CMS 
• To test the errors of indication within a locally intended measuring volume 

The benefits of these tests are that the measured result has direct traceability to the unit of length, the meter, and that it gives information on how the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) or the coordinate measuring system (CMS) performs in similar length measurements. 

ISO 10360‑13 is applicable to verification of the measuring performance of CMSs if the surface characteristics (e.g. glossiness, color) of the object to be scanned are restricted and within a cooperative range 

Overall, ISO 10360‑13 is helpful because ISO 10360‑13 provides you guidance on how to perform tests by using optical 3D CMS.
