Scanning speed and accuracy

Here is a link to an interesting doc about scanning speed and accuracy... but on a Zeiss Disappointed
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321661845_Influence_of_CMM_Velocity_on_Scanning_Precision
  • With a highest scanning speed at 70/60 = 1.17 mm/s (the document consistently use mm/min) one gets to wonder how old that paper is? Or the relevance of it?

    And this conclusion:

    "The test was based on an assumption that the measurement precision decreases with increasing measuring speeds (in
    our case. the speeds of 20. 40 and 70 mm/min were chosen). Our assumption was confirmed in part. This was in the case when the test evaluation only considered the mean value
    and variance. i.e. when actual dimensions were taken into account."??

    When is it ever interesting to measure and not take actual dimensions into account? What am I not understanding?
  • 28th DAAAM was in november 2017...
    I believe that "actual dimension" are used as "known dimensions", compare to unknown scanning...

    I just posted it as an information, I think off topics are also made for this...

    I'm not the author of this text, maybe I would wrote it differently, with other parameters... One day, if I find time enough Slight smile
  • Seems the authors are implying that 'speed kills' Sunglasses
    OR....to urge the Zeiss user to get the Navigator option..... Rolling eyes
