The Importance of Differences in Results Obtained from Measurements with Various Measuring Systems and Measuring Modes in Industrial Practice

Abstract

This paper presents the results of preliminary tests carried out in an organization producing products for the automotive industry. From the many available systems used in this research, different values of results were obtained; these differences cause doubts among people deciding about the process approval and start of production. The main aim of the research presented in the article is to determine the influence of various factors on the measurement results, especially to compare the results of measurements obtained with the optical sensor, which is used during measurements with the use of a multisensor measuring machine. The results obtained with the use of the height gauge, which is used alternatively in the organization, raise further doubts. Experience has shown that the methodology and definition of the alignment during the measurement, which is different for each of the systems, have a great influence.
