This study deals with tilt sensors. Besides others methods, accelerometers and gyroscopes are also convenient to solve this problem. Tilt sensors which are described in this thesis are working with capacitive, piezoresistive and thermal method. Capacitive accelerometers from producer Analog Devices, STmicro and Freescale, piezoresistive accelerometers from producer Panasonic Matsushita and gyroscope ADXRS300 are tested by practical measurement. Parameters of these accelerometers are found and they are compared with parameters from producer. Measurement reliability in this study is analysed as well. This thesis is divided in chapters theoretically describing principles of particular accelerometers and the chapters containing measured data evaluation.

This diploma thesis deals with assessment of geometric accuracy of machining center MCV 754 QUICK. BlueSYSTEM digital inclinometers from WYLER AG, XL-80 laser interferometer from RENISHAW, Ballbar QC20-W from RENISHAW and LaserTRACER self-guiding laser interferometer from ETALON AG were used to measure accuracy. Error of the X straightness in the direction of the Z axis was assessed. The first part of the paper describes the geometric accuracy of the machine, currently available instruments for measuring geometric accuracy and an explanation of straightness. The second part consists of the design of measurements, experiment, evaluation and comparison of results and recommendations for teaching.
