MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AT LEAST ONE LENGTH MEASURAND

摘要

The invention relates to a measuring device (10) and a method for determining a length measurand of a workpiece. A carrier part (13), on which a probe unit (18) is arranged immovably in a first spatial direction (x), can be moved or positioned by means of a positioning arrangement (12). At least one laser interferometer (24) is connected to the carrier part (13) immovably in the first spatial direction (x). By means of a first laser measuring beam (L1) and a second laser measuring beam (L2), the laser interferometer (24) generates a first measurement signal (S1), which measurement signal describes the distance of the laser interferometer (24) from a first reflector (25) in the first spatial direction (x), and a second measurement signal (S2), which describes the distance of the laser interferometer (24) from a second reflector (26) in the first spatial direction (x). A probe system plane (E), which is immovable in the first spatial direction (x) relative to the carrier part (13) or the probe unit (18) and which extends at right angles to this first spatial direction (x), therefore has a position in the first spatial direction (x) that can be determined by means of the distances of the laser interferometer (24) from the first reflector (25) and the second reflector (26).
