Abstract

Among mobile systems which are being implemented more generally to the measuring practice such as coordinate measuring arms (CMA), there is a lack not only commonly accepted methods of accuracy assessment but also procedures to determine the accuracy of any realized measurement, what is particularly important and expected by industry. According to the authors application of simulation using virtual CMA would be the effective solution. In this article the model of kinematic, metrological CMA elaborated in Laboratory of Coordinate Metrology in Cracow University of Technology and its research verification in relation to the real CMA were described. Thanks to such elaborated model, there is a possibility to elaborate virtual measuring arm, which should comprise not only elaborated kinematic, metrological model but also application of metrological software in order that the assessment of uncertainty of realized measurement in real and quasi-real time be possible.
