ABSTRACT:
A non-contacting measuring system, particularly for industrial robots, for acquiring the position of two coordinate systems, comprising sensors, in particular a stationary coordinate system lying in a measuring plane and of a moving coordinate system, particularly for the acquisition of absolute position and repetitive accuracy of industrial robots, comprises a bipartite measuring system including a precision turn table with a precision sensor comprising a distance sensor and an optical sensor and a planar measuring subject lying in the measuring plane. The distance from the measuring plane and the tilt about the x axis and the y axis are calculated from the distance sensor signals. The rotation about the z axis and the displacement in the x direction and the y direction are calculated by sensing a line pattern.
