Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the measurement of workpiece geometries with a coordinate measuring device (10) and to the device itself. According to the invention, measuring tasks may be optimally carried out without a requirement for devices of differing types, whereby one or more sensors (30), which are of optimal application for the relevant measuring task, are used.
Claims7
A method for measuring workpiece geometries, comprising the steps of:
- providing a coordinate measuring device having traverse axes and a plurality of sensors for recording measuring points on workpiece surfaces, said sensors being mechanically connected by a connecting element,
- measuring the temperature of the connecting element;
- and
- measuring the workpiece geometries by determining position alteration between the plurality of sensors caused by temperature, after consideration of the measured temperatures.
A coordinate measuring apparatus for measuring workpiece geometries comprising several traverse axes as well as, for recording measuring points on at least one surface of the workpiece, a plurality of sensors suitable for determining defined measuring objects,
- wherein the coordinate measuring apparatus exhibits several temperature measuring points for determining position alteration between the plurality of sensors caused by temperature.
