A method is described for determining a relative position of an axis of rotation of a rotary table of a coordinate measuring machine. The rotary table has or forms a reference element that is arranged eccentrically in relation to the axis of rotation. The method includes a measuring step including performing a rotary movement of the rotary table, and producing measuring points that encode a position of the reference element by a sensor of the coordinate measuring machine during the rotary movement. The method includes a determining step including determining the relative position of the axis of rotation of the rotary table based on the measuring points.
A method for determining a relative position of an axis of rotation of a rotary table of a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the rotary table has or forms a reference element that is arranged eccentrically in relation to the axis of rotation, the method comprising:
An apparatus for determining a relative position of an axis of rotation of a rotary table of a coordinate measuring machine, the apparatus comprising:
A rotary table for a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the rotary table has or forms at least one reference element, which is arranged eccentrically in relation to an axis of rotation of the rotary table, wherein the reference element can be optically probed/scanned or wherein the reference element has a centering element or is formed as a centering element.
