Abstract
A method for measuring coordinates, the method including the steps of:—providing a component on a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the coordinate measuring machine has an optical measuring system. An available measuring range of the optical measuring system is specified by a non-homogenous spectrum of a light source of the optical measuring system. The method further includes the step of measuring a geometric feature to be measured of the component, wherein a reduced measuring range is used which is smaller than the available measuring range.
Claims20
A method including the following, steps of:
- providing a component on a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the coordinate measuring machine has an optical measuring system and wherein an available measuring range of the optical measuring system is predetermined by an inhomogeneous spectrum of a light source of the optical measuring system, and
- measuring a geometric feature of the component to be measured, wherein a reduced measuring range is used, wherein the reduced measuring range is smaller than the available measuring range.
The method according to claim
- wherein
- a first spectral bandwidth range (λ1-λ2) is assigned to the reduced measuring range
- and/or
- a second spectral bandwidth range (λ3-λ4) is assigned to the reduced measuring range
- and/or
- in that a relative radiant power is greater than a threshold value (I1) for each wavelength (λ) of the reduced measuring range
The method according to claim lone
- wherein
- the coordinate measuring machine has three linear axes for executing relative movements between the component and the optical measuring system,
- wherein a relative movement is executed during the measurement by at least one of the three linear axes;
- and/or
- the coordinate measuring machine has a rotational axis for executing a rotational component movement, wherein a rotation of the component is executed during the measurement;
- and/or
- the coordinate measuring machine has a tactile sensor, in particular a measuring probe with a probe ball.
