Evaluation tests on a CMM with a multi-step gauge were carried out following an extended version of an ISO evaluation procedure with a periodicity of at least once a week and during more than five months. This test procedure consists in measuring the gauge for several range volumes, spatial locations, distances and repetitions. The procedure, environment conditions and even the gauge have been kept invariables, so a massive measurement dataset was collected over time under high repeatability conditions. A multivariate regression analysis has revealed the main parameters that could affect the CMM behaviour, and then detected a trend on the CMM performance drift. A performance model that considers both the size of the measured dimension and the elapsed time since the last CMM calibration has been developed. This model can predict the CMM performance and measurement reliability over time and also can estimate an optimized period between calibrations for a specific measurement length or accuracy level.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A Statistical Approach To Prediction Of The CMM Drift Behaviour Using A Calibrated Mechanical Artefact}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/90342/PDF/Journal10178-Volume%20XXII%20Issue3_09paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/mms-2015-0033}, keywords={multivariate regression models, Coordinate Measuring Machine, drift behaviour, calibration}, }
