  • Publication number: 20200363188
    Abstract: To provide a three-dimensional coordinate measuring device capable of performing highly reliable shape measurement at high accuracy without complicated calibration work. A motorized rotation stage is rotatably supported with respect to a reference base. A reference camera is fixed to the reference base, the reference camera captures an image of a plurality of reference markers provided on the motorized rotation stage. At the time of calibration, a plurality of markers of the reference member are captured at respective different postures of the motorized rotation stage. New camera parameters are calculated based on a plurality of reference images and reference marker information indicating the arrangement of the plurality of markers and then the camera parameters in the main body memory are updated to the new camera parameters.

  • Patent number: 10817160
    Abstract: To provide a three-dimensional coordinate measuring device having high convenience with respect to setting of measurement conditions. A geometric element and a measurement item selected on a first main screen sc01 are accepted. A first sub screen sc11 including a part of the plurality of geometric elements and the plurality of measurement items displayed on the first main screen sc01 is displayed on a touch panel display 230 provided in a handheld probe. Based on an operation of the touch panel display 230, a geometric element and a measurement item are selected from the displayed first sub screen sc11. Base on the geometric element and the measurement item accepted by at least one of the main accepting unit and a sub accepting unit and the coordinates of a measurement point instructed by the handheld probe, the value of the selected measurement item of the selected geometric element is calculated.

  • Patent number: 10739126
    Abstract: To provide a three-dimensional coordinate measuring device capable of measuring coordinates over a wide, range with high accuracy and high reliability. A reference stand 10 is provided on an installation surface. A reference camera 110 is fixed to the reference stand 10. A movable camera 120 and a reference member 190 having plurality of markers are rotatably supported on the reference stand 10. The reference camera 110, the movable camera 120, and the reference member 190 are accommodated in a casing 90. The movable camera 120 captures a probe that makes contact with a measurement target and the reference camera 110 captures the plurality of markers of the reference member 190. The coordinates of a point at which the probe makes contact with the measurement target are calculated based on the image data obtained by the capturing.

  • Patent number: 10267620
    Abstract: An optical three-dimensional coordinate measuring device of the present invention ensures both the measurement range and the measurement accuracy. The optical three-dimensional coordinate measuring device includes an imaging device, a table that is displaceable from an original position, a probe for designating a measurement position of a measurement object, a probe marker that is disposed on the probe, and a stage marker that is disposed on the table. The position and the attitude of the probe with respect to the imaging device are identified on the basis of the probe marker included in a captured image. The position and the attitude of the table with respect to the imaging device are identified on the basis of the stage marker included in a captured image. Relative position coordinates of a measurement position designated by the probe are obtained.

  • Patent number: 9885564
    Abstract: Provided is an optical coordinate measuring device with improved measurement efficiency. A holding part of a measurement head includes an installation part and a stand part. The installation part has a horizontal flat shape and is installed on the installation surface. The stand part is provided so as to extend upward from one end of the installation part. The placement table is provided at the other end of the installation part. A measurement target is placed on the placement table. A main imaging unit is provided on an upper part of the stand part. The main imaging unit is arranged so as to be turned obliquely downward such that it can capture an image of a previously set imaging region above the placement table.
