27. Identify the statements are True or False
No.

Statement

True

The Point, where X-Y-Z axes of a CMM are equal to Zero, is called as Machine
Origin

Part and the machine reference systems are the same.

3.

During measurements, it is mandatory to preset Zero as origin.

Origin once preset, can be shifted to anywhere during inspection procedure.

Measurements are more accurate if the Instrument & object are parallel to each
other.

Measurement uncertainties always depend on Human Errors.

Graphs (Rectangular or Polar) and a Radar Screen are examples of 3D

reference system.

CMM makes it possible to create & correlate various reference systems on a

single component.

Geometric feature is the one that we mathematically derive from an Element

available on component.
