Measuring Step Gauges Using the NIST M48 CMM

April 1, 2011
Author(s)
John R. Stoup, Bryon S. Faust
The Moore M48 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) has provided NIST with flexible measurement capabilities for many years. The machine’s state of the art performance was further improved following the move of the machine into the new Advanced Measurement

Measuring Step Gauges Using the NIST M48 CMM

July 25, 2010
Author(s)
John R. Stoup, Bryon S. Faust
The Moore M48 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) has provided NIST with unique and very flexible measurement capabilities for many years. The machine’s state of the art performance was further improved following the move of the machine into the new

Early Results From the NIST M48 CMM in the New AML Facility

March 3, 2006
Author(s)
John R. Stoup, Bryon S. Faust, Theodore D. Doiron
The Advanced Measurement Laboratory at NIST in Gaithersburg has already provided real, measurable improvement in some dimensional metrology measurement processes at NIST, most notably in the performance of the NIST Moore M48 coordinate measuring machine1

New Capabilities At NIST In Dimensional Metrology

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Theodore D. Doiron, Eric S. Stanfield, Bryon S. Faust, John R. Stoup, Mary Abbott
A number of new or revised services in dimensional metrology are presented. Included are: a lower cost, high accuracy calibration for sphere diameter; reduced uncertainty in roundness calibration; a new instrument for measurement of the thermal expansion

Uncertainties in Small-Angle Measurement Systems Used to Calibrate Angle Artifacts

May 1, 2004
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr., M Amer, Bryon S. Faust, Jay H. Zimmerman
We have studied a number of effects that can give rise to errors in small-angle measurement systems when they are used to calibrate artifacts such as optical polygons. Of these sources of uncertainty, the most difficult to quantify are errors associated

Angle Metrology Using AAMACS and Two Small-Angle Measurement Systems

November 28, 2003
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr., M Amer, Bryon S. Faust, Jay H. Zimmerman
The highest accuracy method for angle measurement employed at NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) makes use of an automated stack of three indexing tables-- our Advanced Automated Master Angle Calibration System (AAMACS)-- in conjunction

Case Against Optical Gauge Block Metrology

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
Theodore D. Doiron, Dennis S. Everett, Bryon S. Faust, Eric S. Stanfield, John R. Stoup
The current definition of length of a gage block is a very clever attempt to evade the systematic errors associated with the wringing layer thickness and optical phase corrections. In practice, there are very large systematic operator and surface effects

Minimizing Error Sources in Gage Block Mechanical Comparison Measurements

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
Bryon S. Faust, John R. Stoup, Debra K. Stanfield
Error sources in gage block mechanical comparisons can range from classical textbook examples (thermal gradients, correct temperature value, and correct master value) to a completely counter-intuitive example of diamond probe tip wear at low applied force

Benchmarking the Length Measurement Capabilities of the National Institute of Standards and Technology

January 1, 1997
Author(s)
Richard M. Silver, J Land, Jack A. Stone Jr., Ronald G. Dixson, Bryon S. Faust, James E. Potzick, Michael T. Postek, et al
A cross-section of measurements from the Precision Engineering Division within the National Institute of Standards and Technology is benchmarked against other leading National Measurement Institutes. We present a variety of length-related calibration

A Novel CMM Interim Testing Artifact

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips, Bruce R. Borchardt, Gregory W. Caskey, David E. Ward, Bryon S. Faust, Daniel S. Sawyer
NIST is currently developing equipment and techniques to rapidly access the performance of Coordinate Measuring machines (CMMs). This will allow the frequent testing of CMMs to insure that they measure parts accurately. A novel interim testing artifact
