AbstractIn this paper, a new method that applies a piezoelectric translator to test the dynamic accuracy of scanning probes
for coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is proposed. The
principle of the method is presented, and this method is used for
the evaluation of measurement uncertainty. The validity of the
method is experimentally confirmed on a bridge Zeiss PRISMO
CMM equipped with a VAST XT scanning probe.
Index TermsCoordinate measuring machines (CMMs),
dimensional metrology, probe calibration, scanning probe (head).

same y-axis look similar. The errors are of the order of several
micrometers appearing at maximum deflection of the probe
tip. Existing differences of the characteristics are caused by
accidental probe errors. Hysteresis is revealed as well. During
the y-axis testing of the VAST probe, its value reaches several
micrometers. A major value of hysteresis appears in the z-axis
[shown in Fig. 5(b)].
