2. Coordinate-measuring machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate-measuring_machine

   A coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, the most common being mechanical and laser sensors, though optical and white light sensors do exist.

3. Cylindrical coordinate measuring machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_Coordinate...

   Cylindrical coordinate measuring machine or CCMM, is a special variation of a standard coordinate measuring machine (CMM) which incorporates a moving table to rotate the part relative to the probe. The probe moves perpendicular to the part axis and radial data is collected at regular angular intervals.

4. Universal measuring machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_measuring_machine

   Universal measuring machines (UMM) are measurement devices used for objects in which geometric relationships are the most critical element, with dimensions specified from geometric locations (see GD&T) rather than absolute coordinates. [1] The very first uses for these machines was the inspection of gauges and parts produced by jig grinding. [1]

5. Metrology - Wikipedia

   The Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology (JCGM) is a committee which created and maintains two metrology guides: Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM) [55] and International vocabulary of metrology – basic and general concepts and associated terms (VIM). [34] The JCGM is a collaboration of eight partner organisations ...

   The National Geodetic Survey is an office of NOAA's National Ocean Service.Its core function is to maintain the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), "a consistent coordinate system that defines latitude, longitude, height, scale, gravity, and orientation throughout the United States". [1]

9. Calibration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

   The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...
