Abstract

An inspection master can perform three- and five-axis measurements wherein measurement in a rotation axis or/and turning axis direction for a five-axis processing machine is added. In one aspect, peripheral-surface spherical reference portions protrudes laterally on a peripheral surface of a master main body having a tubular shape, including the peripheral surface and an upper surface, and an upper reference ball for detection of an inclination angle of the body protrudes upward on the upper surface. The reference portions are provided at two or more portions of the peripheral surface in a circumferential direction thereof. In another aspect, an upper reference ball protrudes upward on the upper surface, and upper-surface spherical reference portions protrudes upward at one or more portions of the upper surface on an outer side with respect to the ball. In another aspect, both the peripheral-surface and upper-surface spherical reference portions are on the master main body.

Claims (27)

1. An inspection master, comprising:

a master main body having a hollow cylindrical shape and including a peripheral surface and an upper surface;

peripheral-surface spherical reference portions that protrude laterally on the peripheral surface of the master main body; and

an upper reference ball for detection of an inclination angle of the master main body, the upper reference ball protruding upward on the upper surface, wherein

the peripheral-surface spherical reference portions are in two or more rows on the peripheral surface in a circumferential direction of the peripheral surface,

the peripheral-surface spherical portions of each of the rows includes two or more peripheral-surface spherical portions arranged in an up-and-down direction of the peripheral surface of the master main body, and

each of the peripheral-surface spherical reference portions includes a spherical body at a tip of a connecting shaft protruding laterally from the peripheral surface.

2. The inspection master according to claim 1 , wherein the peripheral-surface spherical reference portion of each of the rows includes two or more peripheral-surface spherical reference portions arranged in an up-and-down direction of the peripheral surface, and the peripheral-surface spherical reference portion on a lower side has a longer protruding length in a lateral direction than a protruding length of the peripheral-surface spherical reference portion on an upper side.

3. The inspection master according to claim 1 , further comprising peripheral-surface hole-shaped reference portions, which are oriented laterally in two or more rows on the peripheral surface of the master main body, wherein

the peripheral-surface hole-shaped reference portions of each of the rows are between two or more rows of the peripheral-surface spherical reference portions, and

each of the peripheral-surface hole-shaped reference portions is a hole laterally opened to the peripheral surface.

4. The inspection master according to claim 1 , further comprising two or more upper-surface hole-shaped reference portions on the upper surface of the master main body,

wherein each of the upper-surface hole-shaped reference portions is a hole vertically opened to the upper surface.

5. An inspection master, comprising:

a master main body having a hollow cylindrical shape and including a peripheral surface and an upper surface;

peripheral-surface spherical reference portions protruding laterally on the peripheral surface of the master main body;

an upper reference ball for detection of an inclination angle of the master main body, the upper reference ball protruding upward from the upper surface, wherein

the peripheral-surface spherical reference portions are in two or more rows on the peripheral surface in a circumferential direction of the peripheral surface,

the peripheral-surface spherical portions of each of the rows includes two or more peripheral-surface spherical portions arranged in an up-and-down direction of the peripheral surface of the master main body, and

each of the peripheral-surface spherical reference portions includes a spherical body at a tip of a connecting shaft protruding laterally from the peripheral surface; and

upper-surface spherical reference portions that protrude upward at one or two or more portions of the upper surface on an outer side with respect to the upper reference ball,

wherein each of the upper-surface spherical reference portions includes a spherical body at a tip of a connecting shaft protruding upward from the upper surface.

6. The inspection master according to claim 5 , further comprising peripheral-surface hole-shaped reference portions, which are oriented laterally in two or more rows on the peripheral surface of the master main body, wherein

the peripheral-surface hole-shaped reference portions of each of the rows are between two or more rows of the peripheral-surface spherical reference portions, and

each of the peripheral-surface hole-shaped reference portions is a hole laterally opened to the peripheral surface.

7. The inspection master according to claim 5 , further comprising two or more upper-surface hole-shaped reference portions on the upper surface of the master main body,

wherein each of the upper-surface hole-shaped reference portions is a hole vertically opened to the upper surface.
