Study on data processing method of three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine (Simultaneous processing method of data measured by multiple probes)

摘要

It is often necessary to utilize more than two probes in measuring three-dimensional (3-D) shapes by means of a 3-D coordinate measuring machine. Accuracy of measurement, especially of complicated shapes, can be improved by using multiple probes, because of the wide range of measured data. In the case that more than two probes are used, calibration of each probe must be performed to correct the zero position of the scale.
