  • Coordinate measuring machine and method for compensating for large workpiece masses
    Patent number: 10451398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coordinate measuring machine with a measuring system for measuring a workpiece, a carrier structure for carrying the measuring system and a base plate for supporting the workpiece. The carrier structure is movably guided in at least one direction on the base plate. The coordinate measuring machine also has a first support system with at least three supports for supporting the base plate, a second support system and a control device for controlling the second support system dependent on a force application to the first support system. The present invention also relates to a method for compensating for large workpiece masses on a coordinate measuring machine.

  • Damping device for a coordinate measuring equipment
    Patent number: 6272760
    Abstract: A damping device for vibration damping of components of a coordinate measuring equipment has a damping component which is frictionally connected to the component to be damped. The characteristic frequency of the damping component deviates from the characteristic frequency of the component to be damped.
