More Information
Summary:A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for determining at least one spatial coordinate of a measurement point on an object, the CMM comprising a structure movably connecting a probe head to a base, the structure comprising a plurality of rotary joints and a plurality of links, wherein the CMM comprises a control unit configured to control motors in the rotary joints for driving the probe head relative to the base for approaching the measurement point and to receive angular data from measuring units in the rotary joints, wherein the control unit has access to distortion information about distortions occurring in the structure under a multitude of different distortion-influencing conditions, wherein the conditions comprise at least a current pose of the structure that is defined by the angles between the components.
