We do as KamikazeKonrad has mentioned. We calibrate our calibration standard bar on another CMM, and check the ROMER calibration to that. When we first got our ROMER, we had to send it out to get the entire arm calibrated. Something about the readers were out of whack, and it would not repeat. You should not have to send the entire arm out as long as it calibrates good to your calibration bar.
