Summary: A methodology for mathematical modeling of Computerized Measuring Machine (CMM) probe head and touching sensor calibration is presented, aimed at the calculation of 3D sensor calibration parameters by means of multivariable least squares error optimization. The resulting system of nonlinear algebraic equations is solved by an iterative numerical method procedure and the obtained calibration parameters are then used in the programming and automation of the CMM measuring process. In order to validate calibration results, sensor parameters are compared with those obtained by other calibration software and methods. Applications of the method are multifarious, mainly in mechanical production sector.
