“…The axis straightness errors can be evaluated by using the least-square criterion and minimum zone criterion, 4,5 and the center coordinates of the reference circle of the roundness profiles can be determined according to the least-square criterion, minimum circumscribed criterion, maximum inscribed criterion and minimum zone criterion, the corresponding reference circles of which are the least-square circle, the minimum circumscribed circle, the maximum inscribed circle, and the minimum zone circle. [6][7][8][9][10] According to the definition of axis straightness error, its evaluation should comply with the minimum zone criterion, but it is also often evaluated by the least-square criterion, which is called approximate evaluation method. With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, the evaluation method of the geometric errors of parts needs to be clearly indicated on the drawing, that is, the geometric error will be tested according to the indicated evaluation method, and there is no problem of so-called approximate evaluation method.…”
