Colin, what is wrong with Chally72's statement? I mean that is the purpose of the bar is it not? It is to be used as a standard to make sure that the arm is checking within the stated/calibrated spec, and I would do as Kamikaze suggests with sending the bar out for recertification by a third party. I would also suggest to anyone to take screenshots of your single point checkouts and the length checkouts and keep a internal log in case there is ever a issue with a customer or internally so you can show with documentation that your arm has been in spec and curb the constant blame on the cmm equipment. These checks only take a few minutes as you get more comfortable with the system and the daily log take away any questions and clears up any concerns on if the system has been messed with.
