17、 machine coordinate system. Here, the X, Y and Z axes refer to the machine’ s motion. The second coordinate system is called the part coordinate system, where the three axes relate to the datum of the work-piece. A datum

19、gt;<p>　　3 SURFACE FORM</p><p>　　It is generally agreed that surface form or roughness consists of scratch marks and fragmentation marks within them. These marks are relatively closely spaced together

20、. This makes them dif. cult to measure. Why do engineers trouble to measure surface roughness at all? The main reason is that the surface being measured will be in contact with some other surfaces. By understanding its s

52、;　　The surface form of soft materials such as polystyrene can be determined using the CMM machine, with 20 touch points. The most consistent surface form was achieved by using NiCr-C spring wire followed by Inconel wire.
