Abstract: A flexible three-coordinate measuring arm (CMA) with 6-DOF is studied.The measurement equation and the equation of position errors of its stylus are derived.Optimization analysis of the CMA parameters is carried out in order to minimize position errors of the stylus.The results are useful to the optimization design of CMA mechanical structures.

Key words: optimization design, accuracy, flexible three-coordinate measuring arm
