Safeguarding coordinate measuring machine against operation errors, involves editing length data of new probe pin when length data of new probe pin exceeds predetermined threshold value

摘要

The method involves providing a probe (5) with a new probe pin (32) which is then calibrated based on specific probe pin calibration data. The length data of the new probe pin is calculated and compared with a predetermined threshold value. The length data are edited when the compared length data exceeds the predetermined threshold value. An Independent claim is also included for the coordinate measuring machine.
