  • Method for improving measurement accuracy of a portable coordinate measurement machine
    Publication number: 20060053647
    Abstract: A method for improving the measurement accuracy of a portable coordinate measurement machine which comprises an articulated arm having jointed arm segments is presented. This method includes sensing deformation of a portion of the articulated arm when the arm is placed under a load, this deformation causing an error in the measurement made by the CMM, and correcting such error in response to the sensed deformation.

  • Serial network for coordinate measurement apparatus
    Patent number: 6219928
    Abstract: An articulated arm for use in a coordinate measuring machine. The arm includes a serial network for communicating data from transducers located in the arm to a controller. Each transducer includes a transducer interface having a memory which stores transducer data. The controller serially addresses each memory and handshaking is performed to transfer the data from the transducer interface memory to the controller.
