Abstract

To guarantee the reliability of the measurements made with CMM, the machines must be periodically checked and calibrated, to evaluate the performance and obtain optimized measurement results. However, the main obstacles encountered to ensure these accuracies are the development and implementation of periodic calibration practices and interim checking methods that guarantee the traceability of measurements. Therefore, this systematic review aims to find scientific evidence that contributes to answering the research question: “What type of device is more suitable for performing interim checks on CMM?”. For this, the study will use the methodology of the Systematic Review. In this respect, it was found eleven works (24%) of the final textual corpus, which show the development of checking CMMs, related standards, and measuring instruments. Finally, of the articles with adherence to the research question, only three are highlighted for developing new interim check devices for CMM.
