“…Multilateration based approach is by far the most research technique to determine the geometric errors of large manufacturing or measuring systems nowadays [7,26,[105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112]. The approach relies on interferometric displacement measurements between reference points that are fixed to the machine base and offset points fixed to the machine spindle, near to the TCP [113].…”

Errors during manufacture of high value components are not acceptable nowadays in driving industries such as energy and transportation. Sectors such as aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, nuclear power, large science facilities or wind power manufacture complex and accurate components that demand close measurements and fast feedback into manufacturing processes. New measuring technologies are already available in machine tools, including integrated touch probes and fast interface capabilities. They shall provide the possibility to measure the workpiece during or after the manufacturing process, maintaining the original setup of the workpiece and avoiding the manufacturing process from being interrupted to transport the workpiece to a measuring position. However, the traceability of the measurement process on a machine tool is not ensured yet and measurement data is still not fully reliable for process control or product validation. Due to the similarity between a coordinate measuring machine and a machine tool, some of the methods applied for a correct assessment of uncertainty in coordinate measuring machines are adapted to the challenges of a machine tool. The scientific objective is to determine the uncertainty on a machine tool measurement and, in this way, convert it into a machine integrated traceable measuring process. This paper reviews the fundamentals of machine tool metrology.

“…In fact, recent developments and applications of hybrid contact and non-contact measuring systems for complex parts can be found in comprehensive review done by Li et al [78]. A broad survey regarding multi-sensor data fusion in dimensional metrology has also been carried out by Weckenmann et al [79]. They discussed innumerable concepts of multi-sensor technology in order to realize its benefits and importance in quality control, RE and many other industrial fields.…”

Abstract. There have been substantial improvements in measurement systems in order to meet fluctuating market demands. This rapid change and development in measurement technology has primarily been governed by demands of accuracy and precision from aerospace, automotive and other manufacturing industries. Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) available with different technologies and configurations has efficiently been fulfilling customer demands for more than a decade. Though, current CMMs can meet needs of rapid and increased demands of customers to a greater extent but still there is lot of scope for improvement and development in CMMs. The globalization of manufacturing has resulted in development of variety of complex products and miniaturization of mechanical components. The technology of micro/nanoscale 3D measurement is still a bottleneck for industries. Therefore, precise and accurate system which is flexible enough to deal with complexities of parts and micro & nano range products has to be investigated. In this paper, comprehensive review concerning CMMs with capabilities to measure micro/nano features has been presented. This work has also discussed different methods to estimate measurement uncertainty, as well as performance evaluation of CMMs. Moreover, novel concepts such as intelligent CMM, multi-sensor CMM, virtual CMM have been presented.

“…9,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] Overall, the main objective of LSDM is to obtain measurement systems easy to install, possibly in the same place in which the object is constructed or utilized, characterized by a short acquisition time, accurate, able to perform contactless measurement also at a considerable distance from the measured object, in different working conditions and as cheaper as possible. Some commercial or prototypal systems have been realized with these objectives, at the current state of the art it is worth citing in particular photogrammetric systems and laser radars, which, apart from the economical aspect, are heading towards this direction with interesting results.…”

Last decades witness an increasing interest in Large-Scale/Large-Volume Dimensional Metrology (LSDM). Many fields of application, ranging from construction to shipbuilding and aerospace, have shown more and more accurate and versatile systems for geometric control and tolerancing. Especially in the last ten years, optical technology has registered a fundamental step forward both in terms of metrological performances, versatility and convenience of use. This is further demonstrated by the current large diffusion of laser tracker and photogrammetric systems. The growth is also complemented by the development of new standards, even though a comprehensive body specific for LSDM is still lacking. The twofold aim of the present survey is to present a bibliographical and bibliometric analysis of the field and to propose a scheme of classification of the main current approaches. As an output of this paper, a "LSDM Multi-perspective Model" is introduced, according to which dominant technologies and restrictions are analyzed with the aim of individuating current lacks and defining the roadmap for future development of new instruments and systems.
