| 摘要 |
A method and apparatus for controlling or programming a measurement path for a probe mounted on a coordinate positioning apparatus (e.g. an articulating probe head mounted on a CMM) which enables both the position of the probe tip and the orientation of the probe to be varied. In a first mode, the position of the probe tip is adjusted. In a second mode the orientation of the probe is adjusted, while keeping the location of the probe tip unchanged. This may be achieved either online on the coordinate positioning apparatus or offline in software. |
