  • CMM WITH IMPROVED SENSORS
    Publication number: 20110112786
    Abstract: A method of operating an articulated arm CMM is provided. One or more coordinates on an object can be measured with the articulated arm CMM. At least one of the encoders can then be at least partially powered-off. The encoder can then be powered on and one or more coordinates on the same object can be measured without recalibrating the encoder.
