1. System is capable of single-point and scanning with Optical Sensor; 2. Surface finish measurements with optical sensor is promising and will provide significant benefits to CMM users; 3. Measurement of shapes with Optical Sensor and correlation are not major issues; 4. Ongoing work for the development of artifacts for the correlation of Optical/Tactile CMM systems. 1. Fully automatic exchange via an optical coupler (Figure 11) to the right; 2. Reduction of spot size from 4um to approx2um of our Optical Sensor; 3. Additional types of optical sensors; 4. Improving standards as they move from traditional measurement; techniques to Optical Measurement Techniques; 5. Correlation between Optical and Tactile Probing (Figure 12); 6. Working with other laboratories and organizations for better standards and procedures to verify optical/tactile system correlation issues relative to both surface roughness/waviness, profile and overall system accuracy verification procedures, so that end users have the opportunity to understand the technical specifications and how they apply to real world measurement.
