Abstract
A novel ultra precision coordinate measuring machine (CMM) using three linear encoders and three vacuum preloaded (VPL) porous air bearings is designed and critical components are tested. The functional axes of the linear encoders intersect at a single point that coincides with the center of the probe tip. In this configuration the CMM complies with the Abbe principle over its whole range, which greatly decreases the influence of guideway deviations.
