An accuracy analysis system for a machine tool includes: a control unit, a data server, a data communication unit, a data analyzer, a corrected machine accuracy calculation unit, and a data display unit. The control unit stores preliminarily obtained accuracy data regarding a machine accuracy, compensation data for compensating for an error, and machine information. The data communication unit transmits the accuracy data, the compensation data, and the machine information to the data server. The data analyzer uses the accuracy data and the compensation data in the data server to obtain a compensation data correction value as a correction value of the compensation data and expected accuracy data when the compensation data correction value is applied. The corrected machine accuracy calculation unit calculates a post-correction machine accuracy from the expected accuracy data. The data display unit displays the post-correction machine accuracy calculated by the corrected machine accuracy calculation unit.

A position measurement method for an object in a machine tool measures a position of an object with a probe using a machine tool. The machine tool includes three or more translational axes, a rotatable main spindle, and a table. The probe is a position measurement sensor mountable to the main spindle. The position measurement method includes preliminarily obtaining compensation values of contact positions in a radial direction of the probe in at least two directions where main spindle rotation angles are different by 180&#xb0;, determining the main spindle rotation angle at a contact with a measurement surface of the object corresponding to the measurement content, and calculating a measurement value of the position of the object from a position of the probe at the contact with the measurement surface and the compensation value in accordance with the determined main spindle rotation angle.

An error identification method includes a tool sensor position acquisition stage, a reference block position acquisition stage, a relative position calculation stage, a reference tool position acquisition stage, a position measurement sensor measurement stage, a length compensation value calculation stage, a diameter compensation value acquisition stage, a position measurement stage, a position compensation stage, and a geometric error identification stage. The diameter compensation value acquisition stage acquires a radial direction compensation value of the position measurement sensor with the measured jig. The position measurement stage indexes the rotation axis to a plurality of any given angles and measures respective positions of the measured jig. The position compensation stage compensates the position measurement value at the position measurement stage using the length direction compensation value and the radial direction compensation value. The geometric error identification stage identifies the geometric error from the plurality of position measurement values.
