The present invention relates to an accuracy analyzing apparatus which is
capable of efficiently analyzing accuracies of a machine tool including
the perpendicularity of a spindle axis and the thermal displacement of a
spindle with a higher level of accuracy at lower costs. The accuracy
analyzing apparatus (1) comprises a laser oscillator (2) attached to the
spindle (26) for emitting a laser beam having a light axis perpendicular
to the spindle axis, an imaging device (5, 8) having a light receiving
section (5) disposed in the vicinity of the laser oscillator (2) for
receiving the laser beam from the laser oscillator (2) by the light
receiving section (5) and generating two-dimensional image data, and an
analyzer (15) for analyzing the accuracies of the machine tool (20) on
the basis of the generated image data.
