Abstract

See full text

Objects having complex geometries, such as tubular segments with multiple bends, can be measured using a system including a coordinate measurement machine. The system can include multiple supports for the object to reduce error due to sag of an object under its own weight. The supports can include positionable support members formed of metal tape. The system can further include a processor configured to determine one or more support locations for the object based on a set of definition data for the object. With support locations for the object have been determined and supports placed, the object can be measured, and a post-comparison operation can be performed. Where the object differs greatly from the definition data, the support locations can be revised.
