英国南威尔士圣亚森的皇家空军主要维修基地(飞机大修在此进行)建有一个计量校准试验室。作为一处中央设施,所有皇家空军(RAF)飞机制造用的工夹具(AJAM)都要送到这里检验。支持这一职能的主角是一台LK公司(Derby)的坐标测量机(CMM)。到目前为止英国附近各工程中队经常是在飞机库中使用高度规、游标卡尺和千分表之类的普通计量设备来检测他们自己的工夹具的。圣亚森的工程技术人员原来所做的工作也不过如此。但工艺的进步和精度要求不断提高已使老方法逐渐 A RA calibration laboratory has been built at the main RAF base in Saintson, South Wales, UK. As a central facility, all AJAF aircraft for RAF aircraft are to be inspected here. The protagonist supporting this function is a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from LK (Derby). To date, engineering teams around the UK have often used their common fixture to gauge their own fixtures in the hangar using gauges, calipers and dial gauges. Saintyhon engineers and technicians had done more than the original work. However, the progress of the process and the ever-increasing precision have made the old method gradual
