Abstract

The current competitiveness of the global economy requires a sophisticated quality control in manufacturing industries, because, due to the large number of companies in this sector are constant the requirements of improvements in production. Thus, fast, accurate and flexible, systems of measurement as the CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) are introduced at production process and, with respect to dimensional inspection, this provides the qualities intended. Like all machines, the CMM is susceptible to errors, resulting in erroneous values of their reading response. In this context, the main objective of the study is to describe a methodology of error budget in a CMM, equating and quantifying in their preferred directions the errors incidents during a measurement procedure. The error budget was held in a moving bridge CMM in the forms, theoretical and experimental. The methodology applied in the theoretical form was developed by the method of reduced synthesizing technique of errors and the method of synthesizing technique of errors. For these synths were developed mathematical models of the machine by way of an analysis of its structure and also using the homogeneous transformations. The experimental synthesizing technique of errors was made with obtaining the individual values of 21 errors. For this method, was used a laser measurement, optical set of measurement by interferometry, electronic probe, electronic level, granite square, and fixation devices. Through the values obtained in the experimental synthesizing technique enabled to know the influence of errors on the tip of the probe. The results showed that the \"Z\" axis had the lowest errors of rotation, with amplitude less than 1.7 arcoseg, contrary to the axis \"X\" and \"Y\". It was verified that the methods of synthesizing technique of errors can be used as error budget, because they provide to know the errors of a coordinate measuring machine and also trace them throughout their volume.
