A COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE AND THE LIKE AND SYSTEM THEREFOR ABSTRACT:, Axis correction or machine characteristic data is stored (108) in memory (110) within a control or measurement processor (36) of a CMM (10) (FIGURE 8). The axis correction data includes error data representing 21 different geometry errors (FIGURES 4A through 4C) of the CMM. As position information is required, the measurement processor captures the actual position signal from each machine axis sensor and uses this position signal to locate (112) a set of the axis correction data which describes the machine characteristics at that position. The measurement processor then mathematically combines (114) (FIGURE 9) the …
