Coordinate Measuring Arms are redundant measuring devices that are widely used today. Therefore, this paper presents a solution of the problem of online estimation of accuracy of measurements done on coordinate measuring arms. This paper shows the metrological model called Virtual Coordinate Measuring Arm. It is composed of a kinematic model of arm, created using the Denavit-Hartenberg convention connected with PC-DMIS measuring software and usage of Monte Carlo method. Verification tests done according to VDI/VDE 2617-7 guideline show that the created model is working properly. Also the comparison of results of measurements done on real Coordinate Measuring Arm and simulated by the created model proves correctness of the model. The metrological model of Virtual Coordinate Measuring Arm can be a breakthrough in the use of the coordinate measuring arms in quality assurance systems in production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
