ABSTRACT:
A portable coordinate measuring machine has an adjustment mechanism that allows fine movement of the base into alignment with reference lines or planes. The machine has a heavy base pivotally mounted at one end on a first support and slidably mounted at the other end on a second support. The second support has a pair of arcuate slots that receive a pair of pins connected to the base member. A lead screw is connected to the base member and threadedly engaged with a nut. The nut is pivotally connected to the second support. A user turns a handle or wheel on the lead screw to cause the base to pivot about the pivot point of the first support. This pivoting motion effects fine adjustment of the base's position to align it with reference lines or planes.
