AUTOMATED NONCONTACT SENSOR POSITIONING

A multi-axis system (30) for positioning a workpiece measuring sensor (54) on a metrology machine. Preferably, each sensor is positionable via a system comprising movement along and/or about at least linear directions/axes (X, Z, A, B) so as to control linear and/or rotational movement of a sensor a...

Zusammenfassung:	A multi-axis system (30) for positioning a workpiece measuring sensor (54) on a metrology machine. Preferably, each sensor is positionable via a system comprising movement along and/or about at least linear directions/axes (X, Z, A, B) so as to control linear and/or rotational movement of a sensor automatically to a predetermined position without operator intervention. The multi-axis positioning system allows faster setup times when a workpiece or tooling on a machine is changed.
