<p>An optical measurement apparatus, comprising a reference support (40) on which are mounted a fixed headstock (57) and a movable tailstock (60) opposed to the fixed headstock and movable along a linear axis (x) for coming near to or moving away from the headstock (57) in order to maintain a piece to be measured between headstock (57) and tailstock (60), and a mobile carriage (100) movable along the linear axis (x), the carriage carrying a light source (110) for directing a beam of collimated light across the x axis to be interrupted by the piece under measurement, the carriage further carrying an optical detector (120) aligned with the light source (110) and arranged to receive the residual light of the beam of collimated light that has not been interrupted by the piece under measurement. The measuring apparatus has a automatic measure mode, or One-Click mode (304), triggered by a button on the apparatus, that is arranged to automatically guess the features of a workpiece and/or recognize workpieces for which a measurement program is available.</p> |
