How to Specify a Custom Precision Sphere: Diameter, Tolerance, Material and Surface Finish
When ordering a custom precision sphere, providing the nominal diameter alone is rarely enough. The material, dimensional tolerance, sphericity, surface

A precision reference sphere may look like a simple component, but its measurement performance depends on several factors. Material, diameter
Choosing a precision sphere is not just a matter of selecting a material. Ruby, ceramic, and glass spheres have different
Glass spheres are used in a range of precision measurement applications, including optical inspection, vision measurement, laboratory testing, and custom
High-precision ruby spheres are widely used in precision measurement, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), probing systems and specialized mechanical components. Their
A reference sphere may look like a simple precision component, but its performance can directly affect the reliability of a
1. Why Does the Number of Reference Spheres Matter? When selecting a calibration artifact for a 3D scanner, engineers often
A ball plate is more than a plate carrying several precision spheres. For a 3D scanner, the complete geometric relationship
When selecting a calibration sphere for a 3D scanner, engineers often start with the required diameter. A common assumption is
Calibration spheres are used as reference geometry in many precision measurement systems. However, not all calibration spheres are made from
