CMM Calibration - a panel discussion: The coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a dimensional measuring workhorse in many factories and laboratories in almost all industries. The calibration of CMMs, however, still remains a mystery to many people. The three-dimensional capability of the CMM, combined with software that allows almost any dimensional feature to be measured, creates unique problems that must be addressed. This panel session will start with short presentations regarding various CMM calibration issues followed by an open discussion period. This session was developed by the Dimensional Metrology Committee of NCSLI, which is currently working on a Recommended Practice (RP) for the calibration of CMMs. Panel members: Hy Tran, Ph.D., Sandia National Laboratory, Session Host and Panel Moderator Edward Morse, Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Charlotte, "CMM Calibration and the ISO Standards" Shawn Mason, St. Jude Medical, "Bringing CMM Calibration In-House" James Salsbury, Ph.D., Mitutoyo America Corporation, "Uncertainty and Decision Rules in CMM Calibration"
