where the T 1 matrix of 4 � 4 is considered for the rotation/translation movement between the two<br />

coordinate systems. For the rotation movement between the two coordinate systems, the reduced<br />

transformation matrix, RT 1 of 3 � 3, is considered. The components are<br />

Once the relationship between the two coordinate systems based on the rough phase alignment has<br />

been set up, the CNC code for the inspection can be obtained by multiplication of the T 1 matrix and<br />

the CAD coordinate data of measurement points. That is<br />

M � T1( D � rN)<br />

(4.19)<br />

where D is the CAD coordinate, r is the probe radius of the CMM, and N is the unit vector at the<br />

target points defined by Equation 4.3. D � rN is used for considering the outward offset points from<br />

the measurement target points. The approaching direction of CMM, DM, is also calculated from<br />

multiplication of the RT 1 matrix and the normal vector components on the measurement target points.<br />

Thus<br />

Therefore the rough phase of alignment is performed and the CNC code is generated in a widely<br />

accepted machine code format such as DMIS (Dimensional Measuring Interface Specification), 13 and<br />

downloaded into CMM. The initial measurement procedure is followed on the curved parts.<br />

Fine Alignment Procedure Based on the Iterative Least Squares Technique<br />

Although the rough phase alignment is performed using the six points probing around the reference block,<br />

the CMM often fails to measure the parts of thin geometry such as edges because of residual misalignment<br />

error due to the form error of the reference block, etc. The residual misalignment error can be calculated<br />

and compensated for by introducing a second transformation matrix, T 2, based on initial measurement<br />

data for the curved surfaces. When the measured data MM of the curved surfaces are converted to the<br />

CAD coordinate system, they can be compared with the nominal CAD data, resulting possibly in a slight<br />

deviation between them. Thus, the second transformation matrix, T 2, can be introduced to link the<br />
