ISO 10360-7-2011 PDF

Full title and description

Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Acceptance and reverification tests for coordinate measuring machines (CMM) — Part 7: CMMs equipped with imaging probing systems. This International Standard specifies acceptance tests (factory or delivery) and reverification tests (periodic checks) for Cartesian CMMs that use imaging/vision probing systems operating in discrete-point probing mode.

Abstract

ISO 10360-7:2011 defines the procedures and performance requirements to verify that a CMM with an imaging probing system meets its stated linear-measurement performance. It covers test execution, conformity rules, and the intended applications of the acceptance and reverification tests. The tests are applicable to Cartesian CMMs using imaging probing systems in discrete-point mode and do not explicitly cover contact probing systems or non-Cartesian machines unless mutually agreed by parties.

Scope

This part of ISO 10360 specifies acceptance and reverification tests for verifying linear-measurement performance of Cartesian coordinate measuring machines that are equipped with imaging probing systems (for example video/vision-type probes) operating in a discrete-point probing mode. It defines which types of machines and probing systems are within scope, and explicitly excludes contact-probing CMMs and some non-Cartesian machines unless both parties agree to apply the standard. The standard establishes how to demonstrate conformance to stated performance criteria.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of acceptance and reverification test procedures for imaging probing systems on Cartesian CMMs.
• Performance requirements and assignment of performance values (as stated by manufacturer or user).
• Rules for test execution, measurement sequence, data evaluation, and proving conformity.
• Limitations and applicability (discrete-point imaging probes; not explicitly for contact probes).
• Normative references and guidance for estimating test uncertainty (references include ISO/TS 23165 and ISO 10360‑1 among others).

Typical use and users

Used by CMM manufacturers, quality and metrology engineers, calibration and testing laboratories, and end‑users who require objective verification of imaging probing system performance (for acceptance testing at delivery and periodic reverification). The standard is referenced by metrology professionals and standards bodies when specifying or comparing performance of vision/imaging-equipped CMMs.

Related standards

ISO 10360 is a multi‑part series. Key related parts and references include ISO 10360‑1 (vocabulary and general principles), ISO 10360‑2 (contact probing performance tests for linear dimensions), and other parts addressing optical distance sensors, multisensor CMMs, articulating arms, and related topics (for example parts 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 in the broader series). The standard also cites ISO/TS 23165 for guidance on test uncertainty.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10360‑7:2011 is an ISO International Standard that specifies acceptance and periodic reverification tests for Cartesian coordinate measuring machines equipped with imaging (vision) probing systems. It defines how to test and prove the machine meets stated linear‑measurement performance.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers test methods, execution rules, performance requirements, and conformity criteria for CMMs using imaging probes operating in discrete‑point mode. It does not explicitly cover contact probing systems (see ISO 10360‑2) or automatically apply to non‑Cartesian CMMs without agreement between parties.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: CMM manufacturers, calibration and test laboratories, metrology engineers, and quality managers who need standardised acceptance and reverification procedures for imaging‑equipped CMMs. Standards bodies and test labs reference the part when specifying or validating vision/ imaging CMM performance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The edition is the 2011 first edition. ISO records the publication as 2011 and indicates the standard was subject to periodic confirmation in the ISO review cycle (the edition has been confirmed in ISO review records). Users should check ISO or national body catalogs for any subsequent revisions or newer parts in the 10360 series.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. ISO 10360 is a multipart series of standards addressing acceptance and reverification tests for CMMs and related measurement systems; Part 7 specifically addresses imaging probing systems and is intended to be used alongside other relevant parts (for example ISO 10360‑1 and ISO 10360‑2).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: CMM, imaging probing system, vision probe, acceptance test, reverification, GPS, measurement performance, ISO 10360.
