• This article examines the measurement uncertainty in terms of the incident angle, the object colour and the measurement distance for a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) laser-scanning process. It describes a new method for predicting the measurement uncertainty that simultaneously considers all three parameters. A set of measurements with different values for these parameters was made in order to describe the measurement uncertainty for the whole measuring range of the laser-scanning device. The final result of this research is an equation model that allows an accurate prediction of the measurement uncertainty within the investigated measurement field while the results of the extrapolated measurement field give an accuracy of the prediction that is better than 15%. In general, the model can also be useful as a measuring guideline for any other laser-triangulation measuring device, although the values would need to be adapted to each particular device. The, thus, obtained equation model could then be implemented into automatic inspection/control lines or used for self-adaptive measuring CNC paths to perform measurements in the optimal measuring range for a particular surface.
