Abstract
Motorized indexed measuring head for a machine for measuring three-dimensional coordinates. Comprises one, two or more re-orientable elements to orient a probe feeler according to a plurality of indexed orientations. The orientable elements are guided in their rotation and sliding movements by undercut bushings and undercut shafts. The arrangement of the undercuts allows an accurate guiding in the rotation movement without impairing the indexing accuracy.
Claims9
Orientable measuring head for orienting a probe feeler relatively to a measuring apparatus, including:
- a support element;
- a first re-orientable element capable of sliding in the direction of a first axis between a locked position and un unlocked position;
- a first guiding organ connected with said support element;
- a second guiding organ connected with said first re-orientable element;
- wherein said first and second guiding organs do not touch when said re-orientable element is in locked position;
- wherein said first guiding organ supports said second guiding organ so as to allow said re-orientable element to rotate around said axis relatively to said support element when said orientable element is in said unlocked position.
