Coordinate measurement machines (CMM) are an important part of production process technology that help and give a fast response in complex measurement situations. Although the technologies advance in high speed, old coordinate measurement machines are capable to give accurate results. The present paper will give an alternative to use this type of machines, machines that are operated manual or with rudimental software that are not upgraded with actual technologies. In order to be possible to measure an inclined surface with a coordinate measurement machine we need to consider that the contact approach between the coordinate measurement machine tool and the measured part must respect some elementary steps: the movement of the coordinate measurement machine probe must be on same direction as the surface vector that we want to measure, the contact force must be the same as the force used for calibration of the probe. All this are very difficult to be respected with a manual or oldcoordinate measurement machine. During measurement with machines that doesn’t allow probe angle control an error can appear for surfaces that are positioned at an angle to the reference surface. This article presents one way to can eliminate measurement errors on Coordinate measurementmachines for inclined surfaces.
