Abstract
An accessory for an articulated head of a tridimensional coordinate measuring machine, machine tool or programmable manipulator. The invention includes a light source that is applicable adjacent to the measure probe in order to light selectively the measure point. The accessory can include an image capture device.
Claims16
A head device for a tridimensional coordinate measuring machine, connectable to a measure probe for measuring coordinates of points on a workpiece, in combination with a light source arranged adjacent to the measure probe in such a manner that the light source projects light on the point whose coordinates are measured and/or on the workpiece,
- wherein the light source has an annular shape and is coaxial to the measure probe, wherein the measure probe passes through a central opening of the light source, wherein the head device comprises a first rotor and a second rotor, the first rotor and the second rotor being rotatable relative to one another, and wherein the light source is magnetically attached to the second rotor.
