Claims19
A method of operating an articulated arm CMM comprising inputting an instruction to the CMM arm by an action chosen from the group consisting of placing the arm in a predefined position and moving the arm in a predefined manner.
An articulated arm CMM configured to receive instructions from actions chosen from the group consisting of placing the arm in a predefined position and moving the arm in a predefined manner.
A method for calibrating an articulated arm CMM comprising:
- indicating a calibration point and an associated arm calibration position to a user;
- detecting that a distal end of an articulated arm has been moved to the calibration point;
- and
- detecting that the articulated arm has been moved to the calibration position.
An articulated arm CMM system comprising an articulated arm CMM and a display in communication with the CMM, the display comprising a display that indicates a calibration point, an associated calibration position, and a current position of the CMM simultaneously and in real-time.
An articulated arm CMM system comprising an articulated arm and a display, wherein the display illustrates a current position of the CMM and a desired position of the CMM
