Learning target: After completing this unit, you will know the standardized temperature and the effects of inexact or incorrect part or measuring machine temperature. You will know how to clean a part correctly and which clamping systems are available for fixing the part on the work holding fixture and are reasonable in each case. You will be aware of the measurement uncertainty effects that may be encountered when preparing the measurement and those that result from the environment. You will observe the accident prevention regulations when starting the measuring machine.

This unit describes the activities that form part of preparing the measurement.  They are: Cleaning the part and the CMM Controlling the temperature of the part to be checked Reducing the environmental effects Fixation of the workpiece Setup of the coordinate measuring machine This unit, too, is followed, at the end, by a summary.
