Abstract
A work form-measuring method comprises placing a work on a waiting position after the work has been machined by a machining center, and bringing a probe of a three-dimensional coordinate-measuring machine, which is arranged in the vicinity of the machining center, close to the work and then measuring the forms and dimensions of the work. This enables the three-dimensional coordinate-measuring machine to be incorporated into the machining center, thereby resulting in the shortage of the production line tact including the measurement, and the acceleration of the feed back of the measured date.
Claims12
A work form-measuring method comprising the steps of:
- placing a work on a waiting position after the work has been machined by a machining tool;
- and
- bringing a probe of a coordinate-measuring machine close to said work and then measuring the forms and dimensions of said work, said coordinate-measuring machine being arranged in the vicinity of said machining tool.
A work form-measuring apparatus comprising:
- a changer for moving a work between a waiting position and a machining position at an inlet of a machining tool;
- and
- a coordinate-measuring machine for bringing a probe thereof close to said work, having machined by said machining tool, placed on said waiting position, to thereby measure the forms and dimensions of said work.
A coordinate-measuring machine disposed in the vicinity of a machining tool for getting a probe thereof close to a work, having machined by said machining tool, placed on a waiting position, to thereby measure the forms and dimensions of said work.
