Design and mechanical evaluation of a capacitive sensor-based indexed platform for verification of Portable Coordinate Measuring Instruments 2014 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted During the last years, the use of Portable Coordinate Measuring Machines (PCMMs) in industry has increased considerably, mostly due to their flexibility for accomplishing in-line measuring tasks as well as their reduced costs and operational advantages as compared to traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). However, their operation has a significant drawback derived from the techniques applied in the verification and optimization procedures of their kinematic parameters. These techniques are based on the capture of data with the measuring instrument from a calibrated gauge object, fixed successively in various positions so that most of the instrument measuring volume is covered, which results in time-consuming, tedious and expensive verification procedures. In this work the mechanical design of an indexed metrology platform (IMP) is presented. The aim of the IMP is to increase the final accuracy and to radically simplify the calibration, identification and verification of geometrical parameter procedures of PCMMs. The IMP allows us to fix the calibrated gauge object and move the measuring instrument in such a way that it is possible to cover most of the instrument working volume, reducing the time and operator fatigue to carry out these types of procedures. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.245 2014 INSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION 10 / 56 = 0.179 2014 Q1 T1 CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL 31 / 74 = 0.419 2014 Q2 T2 ELECTROCHEMISTRY 14 / 27 = 0.519 2014 Q3 T2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0001-7316-0003 Santolaria Mazo, Jorge.
