Abstract
The following article examines the methodology of identifying and modeling kinematic errors of coordinate measuring machines with the use of a modern and precise interferometric system—the LaserTracer. Since the kinematic errors of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are by far the most prevalent factor in measurement uncertainty, a specially developed model could be used for efficient uncertainty evaluation as an additional module of the virtual measuring machine responsible for simulation of the CMM kinematic errors. The model could also be of use for determining optimal measurement strategy, and would potentially improve the uncertainty of measurements performed.
