Streszczenie: Zagadnienia związane z pomiarami i oceną odchyłek kulistości nie są uregulowane w aktualnych dokumentach normalizacyjnych. Poza maszynami współrzędnościowymi nie ma również na rynku systemów do pomiaru odchyłek kształtu elementów kulistych. W artykule przedstawiono opisane w literaturze metody pomiaru i oceny odchyłek kulistości oraz perspektywy ich zastosowania w warunkach przemysłowych.
Abstract: Problems relating to measurements and evaluation of sphericity deviations are not described in contemporary standardization documents. Apart from coordinate measuring machines, in global market there are no commercially available systems allowing such measurements. The paper presents methods and systems for measurements of sphericity deviations that are described in the scientific literature as well as a prospective of their application under industrial conditions.
