Abstract

In modern manufacturing, there is an increasing demand for reliable in-process measurement methods directly on large CNC machine tools, eliminating the need to transport workpieces to metrological laboratories. This study assesses the capability and applicability of an articulated arm coordinate measuring machine and a machine tool touch-trigger probe when measuring to a specified tolerance of 0.05 mm in a production environment. Experiments were conducted using the KOBA calibration standard and included measurements with and without applying the articulated arm coordinate measuring machine leapfrog method. The results were evaluated according to ISO 22514-7:2021 and ISO 14253-1:2017, which establish criteria for measurement system capability. The findings revealed that neither measurement system met the capability requirements of ISO 22514-7:2021, particularly due to unsatisfactory Q<subscript>MS</subscript> and C<subscript>MS</subscript> values. However, under ISO 14253-1:2017, both systems were deemed conditionally suitable for verifying conformity to the specifications, with the articulated arm coordinate measuring machine showing lower applicability when using the leapfrog method. This research supports the idea that unreasonable demands for compliance with current standards may lead to questioning of the systems that previously met older standards. The study contributes to the ongoing discussion on integrating advanced metrological tools into the manufacturing process and underscores the need for careful evaluation to ensure the capability and reliability of measurement systems in industrial practice.
