    摘要: A metrology apparatus including an articulated joint having: first and second bodies which can be locked together in a plurality of different angular orientations about a first axis; the first body including a prop which is actuatable by a motor between a retracted configuration at which the first and second bodies are in their locked state, and an extended configuration at which the first and second bodies are held apart by the prop along the first axis such that the first and second bodies are unlocked thereby permitting relative rotation of the first and second bodies, the prop and the second body being magnetically biased toward each other so as to magnetically retain the first and second bodies; and further including at least one supplemental bias member configured to bias the prop towards its retracted configuration.

    摘要: A measuring system for acquiring measured values by scanning, including an interface for connection to a control unit of a machine. The system is arranged on a movement axis of the machine, and an object can be measured by a measuring instrument of the system. During the measurement of the object, the measuring instrument generates a measured value that is stored in a control unit, that processes and stores the measured value. The control unit has a control module that reads out a position coordinate from the machine via the interface and compares the read-out position coordinate with a specified coordinate target range, and/or compares a time of a timer with a specified point in time, and releases a trigger signal if the control module detects that the position coordinate lies in the coordinate target range and/or if the time has reached or passed the specified point in time.

    摘要: A method efficiently measures an object having a feature. The feature has a plurality of profiles each having a surface. The method provides a coordinate measuring machine having a wrist coupled with a measuring probe. The probe has a tolerance angle with respect to a surface normal of a surface to be measured. The wrist has a first given orientation that is adjustable to a second given orientation. The method segments an object to be measured into a plurality of segments as a function of an ideal vector that can be used to measure a given segment within the tolerance. A first group of segments that can be measured within the probe tolerance for a first ideal vector is determined. A second group of segments that can be measured within the probe tolerance for a second ideal vector is determined.

    摘要: A method efficiently measures an object having a feature with a plurality of profiles each having a surface. The method provides a CMM having a wrist coupled with a measuring probe. The probe has an optical probe with an angle of incidence with respect to a surface normal of a plurality of points to be measured. The wrist has a first given orientation that is adjustable to a second given orientation. The method measures the feature to be measured by segment groups to obtain a 3D data set for each group. The method removes data points from at least one 3D data set that are outlier data points. The method interpolates the surface formed by the data points. The method calculates a surface normal vector for the data points set. The method removes data points from the interpolated 3D data set whose surface normal are outside the angle of incidence.

    摘要: A measuring apparatus for measuring surface topography of the slides to be measured of a guide rail is provided. The measuring apparatus includes a plurality of detecting probe and at least one moving device. The detecting probes are mounted on a probe support according to the surface topography of the slides to be measured. The moving device shifts the probe support or the slides to be measured on the cross section of the guide rail so that the detecting probe has a displacement relative to the slides to be measured. Each of the detecting probes has a corresponding coordinate system, and the corresponding coordinate system is different from each other. A standard part is utilized to correct deviations among the corresponding coordinate systems to the same coordinate system, and then the same coordinate system as a benchmark to measure the surface topography of the slides to be measured.
