  • Stationary gantry for a precision coordinate measuring instrument
    Patent number: 5119566
    Abstract: Stationary gantry for a precision coordinate measuring instrument comprising a base (1), a first (2) and a second (3) upright and a cross-member (4), in which three of the four connections between the base (1), first (2) and second (3) upright and cross-member (4) are embodied as rotatable connections (14, 21, 31). The design is thus no longer statically overdetermined. The joints (14, 21, 31) can be embodied as a strap connection in a sheet construction of the gantry parts (1, 2, 3, 4).
