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.
