Conducting a measurement

To measure features on an object, various steps are required, including the
following:
Sec. 10.4.1:

Preparing a measurement

Preparing the measured
object and measuring
machine
Conducting the reference
mark search
Adjusting the sensors

Preparing a measure-
ment
Cleaning the measured object and the measuring machine
Contamination, e.g. from chips, dust and oil residues, leads to incorrect
measurement results. The measured object, the holder for the measured object,
and the sensor must be clean before you start measuring.
Clean the measured object, the holder for the measured object, and the
sensors with appropriate cleaning products
Stabilizing the temperature of the measured object
The objects to be measured should be stored at the measuring machine for
an appropriate amount of time to allow the objects to adjust to the ambient
temperature. Since the dimensions of the measured objects vary with temperature
changes, the temperature of the measured objects must be stabilized.
This ensures the reproducibility of the measurement. The reference temperature is
usually 20 °C.

The procedure for measuring features is basically the same for all
geometries and independent of the type of measuring point acquisition.
In the measurement examples illustrated below, the QUADRA-CHEK
3000 VED software option is active.
