  • Device and method for measuring workpieces
    Patent number: 10612907
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for tactile/optical measuring of geometric features and structures on a workpiece. In order to be able to precisely align the probe extension for performing precise measurements without problems, a probe is proposed comprising a probe extension (13) having a flexurally elastic design at least in segments and having a mounting segment for mounting in a receptacle (14) comprising a mounting segment (60) implemented as a rotational lock.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2020
    Assignee: WERTH MESSETECHNIK GMBH
    Inventors: Ralf Christoph, Ingomar Schmidt, Benjamin Hopp, Sebastian Zoeller, Markus Hechler, Stefan Gruenwald, Andreas Ettemeyer, Sabine Linz-Dittrich, Matthias Andraes

  • Method and arrangement for tactile-optical determination of the geometry of a measurement object
    Patent number: 9599456
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for determining structures and/or geometry of a workpiece in a coordinate measuring machine by means of a tactile-optical measuring method, wherein the position of a shaped probe element is determined in at least one direction by means of a first sensor using an optically lateral measuring method, and the position of the shaped probe element is determined in at least one second direction using at least one distance sensor. In order to allow the error-free detection of the shaped probe element using the sensors, the invention proposes that at least one flexible connector element is used in a mounting for fastening the shaped probe element, permeated by the beam path of the first sensor in the beam direction, wherein the connecting element is transparent and/or is disposed severely out of focus with respect to the first sensor.
