    The document describes the KOBA sphere beam, a non-demountable ball bar for monitoring and calibrating medium-sized coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). It has a rigid carrying body made of ultra-high modulus carbon fiber composite with ceramic spheres fixed as probing elements. The sphere beam is available in nominal lengths from 1500 to 2500 mm and can be positioned in the CMM volume using either two light carbon fiber tripods allowing 60° horizontal alignment, or a torsion-proof base with a swivel arm allowing 90° vertical to horizontal alignment. The standard sphere diameter is 30 mm.

    Product description:

    The KOBA sphere beam is a non-demountable


    ball bar for monitoring and calibration of medium-
    sized CMM.
    Ceramic spheres are the probing elements and
    represent the long-term stable measuring length.
    They are fixed in a specially designed support.
    Available nominal lengths are from 1500 up to
    2500 mm with divisions and sphere diameters as
    per customer’s requirements.

    Positioning of the KOBA sphere beam in a broad


    range within the volume of the CMM can either be
    made by using two light tripods in CFC or by a
    torsion-proof base on which a swivel arm is
    mounted.

    Constructional features:

    The carrying body consists of an ultra high modular


    CFC-integral profile of highest possible fibre
    volume. This CFC-profile is extremely rigid and
    stable in size due to the constructional conditions
    and the applied product engineering. The carrying
    body is equipped with a water-vapour-proof
    coating in order to avoid changes in size subject
    to humidity.

    There are two options for the positioning in the volume of the CMM.
    Using two light CFK-tripods is the option where best possible portability at lowest weight is
    achieved. With the tripod solution the sphere beam can be aligned horizontally up to 60° with
    reference to the horizontal position. As an alternative the mounting can be done by using a
    torision and bending-proof base together with a swivel arm with angular adjustment. This
    option covers a swivel range of 90°, i.e. the alignment of the measuring line can be varied from
    horizontal to vertical position. Thus also axially parallel measurements can be carried through
    without problem.

    The ceramic probing spheres of  30 mm is standard (other dia-


    meters are possible) are fixed mechanically in a tapered seating
    such that adhesive cannot influence the sphere position in a nega-
    tive way.

    Technical details:
