Abstract
A calibration method includes: measuring, with a CMM, a ball-to-ball distance of a plurality of edges of an inspection gauge installed in a first posture, a second posture and a third posture, and calculating a calibration value calibrating a ball-to-ball distance between two balls at respective ends of a plurality of edges of the inspection gauge by solving simultaneous equations including the ball-to-ball distance of the plurality of edges of the inspection gauge installed in the first posture, the ball-to-ball distance of the plurality of edges of the inspection gauge installed in the second posture, the ball-to-ball distance of the plurality of edges of the inspection gauge installed in the third posture, and a measurement error of the CMM at the measurement position.
