ABSTRACT:
A coordinate measuring machine has a measuring arm on which a collision protector is provided that can be deflected transversely of the longitudinal axis of the measuring arm when the measuring sensor system collides with an object. To operate the coordinate measuring machine with different measuring sensor systems and machining units, the coordinate measuring machine includes an identification unit that automatically identifies the measuring sensor system or machining unit. A securing unit is connected to the identification unit and adjusts the torque required to deflect the collision protector in response to identification of the measuring sensor system or machining unit by the identification unit.
