METHOD OF MEASURING THE COORDINATES OF WORKPIECES

摘要

The method described uses a coordinate-measuring instrument that includes a video camera (6) and a mechanical probe unit (7) with a feeler (8) designed to measure the position of the workpiece surface by contacting the surface, the points on the workpiece (9) which are to be sensed by the feeler being approached under visual control using a monitor (10) linked to the video camera. For this purpose, the feeler (8) is located in the field of view of the video camera (6).
