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.

Method and apparatus for determining a relative position of an axis of rotation of a rotary table for a coordinate measuring machine

A holder is configured to hold multiple reference standards for calibrating a measurement system. The holder includes a first receptacle that is configured to receive a first reference standard. The holder includes a second receptacle that is configured to receive a second reference standard. The holder includes a calibration jig that is configured to facilitate a bijective determination of a position and orientation of the holder in space.

Holder for multiple reference standards for calibrating a measurement system

A holder for a plurality of reference standards for calibrating a measurement system, having a first receptacle in which a first reference standard is arranged and a second receptacle in which a second reference standard is arranged, wherein the first receptacle is arranged on a first side of the holder, and the second receptacle is arranged on a second side of the holder facing away from the first side of the holder.
