QUALITY CONTROL OF
PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES
USING SOFTWARE GOM INSPECT
BASED ON PORTABLE CMM DATA
Abstract: In the last decade portable measuring arms,
allowing rapid measurement in production conditions,
have achieved great popularity and market expansion.
This paper shows an example of the measuring project
in which the measuring object is 'scanned' using the
measuring arm FARO Arm Platinum, while data
evaluation and analysis is performed in the software
GOM Inspect. Data translation between measuring
device and analysis software is performaed using inhouse software. Results obtained by software GOM
Inspect and CAM2Measure X are identical.
Keywords: Photogrammetry, Tactile Measurement,
FARO, GOM, Automatization
1. INTRODUCTION
Computer
aided
manufacturing
(CAM) and measurement technology has
caused a general quality improvement, as
advanced inspection of assembled pieces
discovers even minute faults [1,2].
Coordinate measuring machines (CMM)
have became standard equipment in the
control of metal industry products quality.
3D measuring technology, like the portable
arms, laser and 3D sterevision scanners
delivers measurement data with high speed
and accuracy [2].
In the last decade portable CMMs, so
called measuring arms, have made the
expansion on the market. Measuring arms
are fully articulated coordinate measuring
system featuring a wide range of
measurement [3,4]. Measuring arms allow
rapid on-site measurements in production
conditions. The highly portable design
enables the system to be positioned at any
point near the workpiece [3,4,5].
In addition to these, combined opticaltactile CMMs are available today, using

determined,
the
measurement
is
transformed into defined coordinate
system
of
using
plane-line-point
transformation out of other available
options (3-2-1, plane-line-point, Gage
alignment, Best-fit, RPS, hierarchical or
other available alignment).
Based on measurements performed by
tactile method, deformation of structural
component ([R] Item) due to loading is
analyzed. Analysis of deformation/
movement is possible because the probe is
placed in a cone that is tightly coupled
with
the
observed
component.
Displacement of component in z direction
is 0.345mm.
The accuracy of the obtained results
generated in software GOM Inspect is
verified by comparing the results obtained
from the software with reference results.
The results obtained by the software
CAM2Measure are considered as a
reference. Results are identical.
Using this method, as well as
combining with optical measuring
systems, point clouds of large objects (fig.
6) can be generated and evaluated.

4. CONCLUSION
Thanks to the favorable priceperformance ratio of portable coordinate
measuring machines, they are finding use
in a wide range of industries.
The reporting module of GOM Inspect
software allows complete, clear and simple
reports (snapshots, images, tables, text, ...)
in just a few mouse clicks allowing quick
creation, re-usable templates, high-quality
and valuable information presentation in a
intuitive user experience.
Measuring data allows for an easy
understanding of problematic areas and a
