Modelling of the coordinate measuring systems accuracy

Coordinate metrology determines nowadays the relevant directions of development in automated measuring systems and quality management in the field of machine industry. The essential problem of coordinate measuring technique application is the issue of accuracy assessment of performed measurements. This paper describes the development of coordinate systems modelling as a new field of assessing the accuracy of measurements carried out in a quasi-real time. The practical solutions of the so-called virtual machines and virtual measuring systems were described along with the results of their evaluation and validation methodology based on a comparison of obtained results with the results produced by the typical methods of coordinate measurements accuracy assessment.
