Multiple-coordinate scanner with regulated scanning force

摘要

A multiple-coordinate scanner having regulated scanning force for scanning objects, and preferably for length- and gear-measuring machines, is disclosed. The scanner detects the scanning force via a multiple- coodinate force measuring device and uses it to regulate the scanning force, in that corresponding straight-line guides in the multiple- coordinate scanner are deflected by drive units such that the resultant measuring force corresponds to a predetermined magnitude, regardless of the direction and magnitude of the multiple-coordinate scanner deflection.
