Abstract: A computer program, PCIRCLE, for calibrating circular sections on a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is presented in this paper. The current practice of inspecting small circular segments on a CMM is to simulate the Gary H. K. Yang and Mike F. Groccia Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Inc. Measurement Standards Laboratories O/48-71, B/195A P.O. Box 3504 Sunnyvale, California 94088-3504 machine as a rotary table by utilizing the software capability of recalling measured data for coordinate transformation and new combination. The new software simulates the procedures of a technician inspecting such parts. Therefore, it eliminates the tedious process of finding the center of the part manually. The program can be easily integrated into the existing software, and utilizes the existing data collection process, making the calibration of a circular section as easy as the other geometric elements already in the system.
