  • Publication number: 20240142213
    Abstract: A measurement device includes a measurement head configured to capture dimensional measurement data of a measurement object. A guide structure is configured to move and guide at least one of the measurement head and the measurement object in a measurement volume of the measurement device. A measurement unit is configured to capture positional data of the guide structure based on which a pose of the measurement head can be calculated. Multiple temperature sensor units are configured to capture temperature data about the measurement volume. Each temperature sensor unit includes a carrier element, a temperature sensor connected to the carrier element, and a heating element connected to the carrier element. A control system is configured to process the dimensional measurement data and the positional data and, based on the temperature data, correct at least one of the dimensional measurement data and the positional data.

  • Patent number: 11480419
    Abstract: A coordinate measuring machine and a method for operating a coordinate measuring machine, and a rotary table module for a coordinate measuring machine with a rotary table for receiving a workpiece and a rotary table block are provided. The rotary table is supported on a rotary table side rotatably about a rotary table axis. The rotary table block has, opposite the rotary table side of the rotary table block, a bottom side with which the rotary table module can be supported on a measurement table of the coordinate measuring machine. The rotary table block has a further supporting side with which the rotary table block is supportable on the measurement table of the coordinate measuring machine and which differs from the bottom side in its alignment. The rotary table module includes a pose capturing device for the determination of whether the rotary table block is supported on the bottom side.
