<p>A measuring head (10) attached to a machine tool is swiveled by a predetermined angle (¸). A reference sphere (30) is then measured by the measuring head (10) from a first direction (E1) and a second direction (E2). Accordingly, coordinates of a center point (A1) of the reference sphere are acquired. First machine coordinates (P1) of the measuring head are coordinates when the measuring head measures the center point (A1) of the reference sphere from a first direction. Second machine coordinates (P2) of the measuring head are coordinates when the measuring head measures the center point (A1) of the reference sphere from a second direction. A 3-dimensional offset of the measuring head is acquired, based on the first machine coordinates (P1) and the second machine coordinates (P2) of the measuring head. Subsequently, the workpiece is measured by the measuring head, by using the 3-dimensional offset of the measuring head. As a result, the 3-dimensional offset of the measuring head is acquired, and thereby the workpiece can be measured by the measuring head because the measurement function intrinsic to the measuring head is effectively used without separately using another measuring instrument.</p> |
