An approach to modeling a digital measuring twin based on a coordinate measuring machines

Abstract

New trends in technological systems in terms of processing processes have also placed new demands on the measuring technique. The application of conventional metrology systems and the procedures that support them have become a limiting factor in terms of flexibility and measurement accuracy. The main problem problem is the rapid metrological identification of complex metrological tasks, such as, for example, shape and position tolerances for parts of medium and high accuracy. In addition to metrological identification, the problem is also the connection of metrological databases, which has a direct impact on the obtain results accuracy. In order to solve these problems, this paper presents an approach to modeling a digital measuring twin based on a numerically controlled measuring machine. In a broader sense, the developed model integrates machine and computer technologies and was applied in the field of metrology, that is, the examination of achieved tolerances on machine parts using CMM. The benefits are reflected in the fact that it is not necessary to construct expensive prototypes, it saves time, avoids collision and the most important thing in the world of industry, it saves money.
