Popis: This study presents a method of measurement of the form error of the tip ball in the tactile probing systems of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) by using a rotating reference sphere. The measurement of the form error of the CMM probe tip was conducted without the use of additional external measuring instruments or sensors. The form errors of the probe tip ball and the reference sphere were separated from the probing coordinates of CMM by rotation of the reference sphere. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated based on an uncertainty analysis. The uncertainty in measurement of diameter of the probe tip ball was estimated to be less than 0.5 μm.
