Graph 7 Interval Plot of cylinder diameter vs number of points 95 %

For cylindricity and roundness, there are different results in graphs 8
and 9. As the interim results suggested, the test is not relevant
because the maximum number of 5000 points for a circle and 10,000
points for a cylinder were selected for testing. It is not possible to
unambiguously determine the optimal number of points for the
evaluation of these elements by contact scanning. Thus, no such
number of points was found from which the standard deviation of
the measured data would become approximately constant. For the
evaluation of roundness, there was a long-term hope that the
optimum would be found, but in the last test, the standard deviation
flew well above the values that were obtained throughout the test. In
the evaluation of cylindricality, this hope of finding the optimum
was terminated even earlier. Therefore, based on the data obtained
from the tests, an additional experiment is planned, which will focus
exclusively on the evaluation of roundness and cylindricality in
contact scanning.

CONCLUSION
The main function of coordinate measuring machines is the complex
measurement of the workpiece, measuring its current shape,
comparison with the required shape and evaluation of metrological
parameters such as size, shape, etc. It follows that CMMs are widely
used for product quality control, in terms of dimensional and
geometric tolerances. Due to the abundant occurrence of generally
shaped surfaces, CMM finds many applications in the measurement
and quality control of generally shaped surfaces. Thanks to its wide
range of applications, CMM is a universal device, enabling quality
control, while maintaining high productivity.
The article describes an experiment and its evaluation which focuses
on streamlining the CMM settings in the process of measurement by
contact scanning. The article deals with the influence of the number
of points on different evaluated elements (the diameter of a ring, the
diameter of a cylinder, roundness, cylindricality) when changing the
size of the measured part. Subsequently, the results of this test will
be incorporated into the measurement methodology for using
CMMs, which will serve to streamline the measurement plans and
processes used for measurement in the Metrology Laboratory of the
University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and other metrology
laboratories cooperating with this laboratory.
As part of the test, a fixed sensor head was used, which was fitted
with a contact with a ruby ball of diameter 1.5 mm. To simulate a
