Creating measurement programs for CMMs takes long time and companies try to find a way to decrease the time for preparation processes. I would also like to thank to all of my co-workers at Sandvik Coromant AB, Gimo.Ībstract Coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) are used to control whether workpieces meet customers’ need or not. I want to address special thanks to my supervisors at Sandvik Coromant AB, Amalia Mattsson and Jonas Järvström for their invaluable help, encouragement and guidance during the thesis work. I would like to take this opportunity to thank to my supervisor Jonny Gustafsson at Production Engineering and Management master programme, KTH for his support and guidance. This is valuable knowledge for my studies and my future work, as well as for my personnel development.
I have had a chance to see a production and a company with a metrology point of view. During the 19 weeks of work for the thesis, I have learned much about measurement and coordinate measurement machines. It was conducted in association with Sandvik Coromant AB in Gimo, Sweden during the period between April 2012 and August 2012. The thesis work focuses on metrology, coordinates measuring machines and modularization of measurement programs. Preface This thesis report is written as a completion of my master degree of Production Engineering and Management at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden. Investigation of Modularization of Measurement Programs for CMMs
