Large volume metrology instrument selection and measurability analysis
The paper received the 2010 Best Paper SAGE Award from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for Part B of the Proceedings. Large Volume Metrology (LVM) is a very new and rapidly expanding field of dimensional metrology encompassing a wide range of instruments for which there are no coherent methods for instrument selection and measurability analysis. The paper addresses the need to establish LVM as a manufacturing process and sets the foundations for measurement planning research. They can be deployed for integrated design specification and measurability evaluation, with research underway and sponsored by Airbus and Rolls-Royce.
