CMM Inspection & ISO 10360 Essentials

CMM Inspection & ISO 10360 Essentials

This course gives you complete training on Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), from basic concepts and machine components to ISO 10360 performance testing and real inspection workflows.

You will learn essential CMM terminology, working principles, error sources, traceability, environmental requirements, and the fundamentals of coordinate metrology.

You will understand how ISO 10360 works, why it is important, and how CMM performance is evaluated in industry. The course explains probing errors, machine verification steps, inspection limitations, and practical methods to ensure accurate measurement.

You will also learn how to set up a part on a CMM, choose datums, measure small features, select the right stylus, take contact points, and orient the workpiece correctly.

The course covers CMM programming, alignments, probe calibration, CAD comparison, and GD&T measurement using Autodesk PowerInspect.

By the end of this course, you will be able to operate a CMM confidently, choose correct measurement strategies, verify accuracy, perform ISO 10360 tests, and generate reliable inspection results.

This Course includes:

  • 1 Week (2-3 Hours/Week)

  • Unlimited Lifetime Access

  • Downloadable PDF E-Books

  • Certificate of Completion

  • Quizzes & Knowledge Checks

  • Downloadable Resources & Notes

What to expect from this course

You will learn the basics of CMM, key terminology, components, coordinate systems, and how CMMs actually work. You will also understand major error sources and how to control them.

You will study CMM verification procedures, traceability requirements, environmental conditions, and how ISO 10360 defines accuracy and performance standards. This helps you understand how machines are certified in industry.

You will learn how to set up parts for measurement, choose datums, measure small features, orient workpieces, select stylus configurations, and take proper contact points for accurate inspection.

You will learn CMM programming, alignment methods, probe calibration, and inspection workflows using Autodesk PowerInspect. You will also understand CAD comparison techniques and how to measure GD&T parameters on a CMM.

You will also receive supporting resources such as the CMM course e-book, software notes, DRO checks, and explanations of PLC commands used in automation-driven CMM environments.
