The diploma thesis deals with the influence of the volumetric accuracy of the machine tool on the size of the assessed work space. The impact assessment was carried out on the basis of tests of a three-axis vertical CNC machining center. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is focused on geometric / volumetric accuracy of machine tools, measuring technique for measuring geometric errors and Design of Experiment. In the practical part, there is an analysis of the Design of Experiment according to Shainin, description of the work with the measuring instruments and the measurement of the geometric / volumetric accuracy of the machine including statistical evaluation. The output of the thesis is the description of the influence of volumetric deviation on the size of the measured work space by means of statistical methods.

This diploma thesis deals with the influence of electronic compensation on accuracy of the measurement using the touch probe. The theoretical part concerns touch probes, specifically their classification, principles of working and applications. This part also includes devices used later in the experiment, particularly double ballbar, laser interferometer and LaserTRACER. The Practical part describes an experiment, demonstrating the correlation between the accuracy improvement of the touch probe and the electronic compensation’s level. All measurements were executed in accordance with the norm VDA 5 and were evaluated by the Matlab software. The graphs of reliance tolerance of capability of measurement on the length of the benchmark. At the end of this diploma thesis there are partial conclusions deduced. The deduction is based on generated graphs. The partial conclusions synoptically compare the influence of individual machine´s configurations on the accuracy of the touch probe.

This diploma thesis describes the procedures of individual electronic compensations for CNC machines used to increase the accuracy of machines. This part is followed by the determining tolerance of the measuring and the influence of individual electronic compensations based on measured data using touch probe and calibrated standards according to VDA 5 norm.

This thesis solves the impact of conventional compensation to the volumetric accuracy of the CNC machine. It is therefore a practical research work, where are in the theoretical introduction mentioned requirements for machine tools, the types of errors that can occur on three-axis kinematics, compensation for the control system Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl and devices by means of which are these compensation under the work formed and subsequently verified. In this work can be seen the measured values and graphs from each measurements, a detailed analysis of the results and drawing conclusions from these results.
