Abstract
A method for reducing errors in a rotating device permitting rotation of a workpiece about a rotational axis during the determination of co-ordinates or during the machining of the workpiece. The workpiece is rotated about the rotational axis and first and second measuring signals of a first and a second course of the workpiece surface are generated by the coordinate measuring device while the device is positioned at different first and second circumferential positions of the rotational axis. The first and the second measuring signals are used for separating redundant surface information and error information contained in the signals. The redundant surface information relates to the workpiece surface revolving around the rotational axis and the error information relates to errors in the rotating device resulting from deviations between actual positions and orientations of the rotational axis and corresponding ideal positions and orientations.
