[To...] Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Has anyone every had to measure a "Mercedes Milling Test Block"? Apparently, it is used for testing how fast and accurate 5 axis milling machines can cut this block. I've seen a picture of it being measured with a laser scanner but was curious if anyone has written a measurement plan for scanning with a Zeiss sensor. Not sure if it has any affiliation with Mercedes or if it just implies that this is "the Mercedes" of milling test blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm shooting that with the Comet - no need for a scanning head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ow...] Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Two individuals closely associated with Zeiss, sounds like a great opportunity to compare the accuracy between probe/optical/laser. I'll be waiting for the video comparison. However, RCR Italy didn't machine it with a 5-axis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-StIzc-MscM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Unfortunately, I only have access to a Prismo Ultra VAST. I'm guessing the Prismo is more accurate than Comet but it would certainly take a long, long time to collect an equal amount of data. My plan is to measure "select' areas of the block just to validate we're on the right track. Customer has their own laser scanner which will be used to qualify the quality of the machining. Owen, you are correct but this block was designed for 5 axis machining test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
