1.6.2 Averaging
Averaging in combination with higher-order measurement weighting has proved a suitable
means to do this.
The formula of the average-value generation chosen is:

Average value new = amount of correction
Average value of last measurement
Weighting factor for calculating the average value (R29)
Set/actual difference measured (minus empirical value, if any)
Av

–
k
This formula takes into account the trend of the dimensional deviations of a series of
machining operations. The weighting factor k (R29), on the basis of which the average value is
generated, can be chosen.
A new measurement result affected by random dimensional deviations, as mentioned above,
only influences the new tool offset to some extent, depending on the weighting factor.
