  • Method for optimising a measurement cycle
    Patent number: 9400178
    Abstract: A method is described for calculating an optimum stand-off distance for surface position measurements to be acquired by a coordinate positioning apparatus including a measurement probe. The coordinate positioning apparatus may include a machine tool and the measurement probe may include a touch trigger probe having a deflectable stylus. The method includes the step of calculating an optimum stand-off distance using at least one measured acceleration characteristic of the coordinate positioning apparatus. In this manner, measurement cycle times may be optimised.
    Type: Grant
