ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring position and orientation of features of a part or item and tube fitting using a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is presented. The coordinate measuring machine comprising a multijointed manually, positionable measuring arm for accurately and easily measuring the position of a point in space by using a special probe, which may be a disk, to perform the tube fitting is interconnected with a host computer. The tube fitting is performed using a coordinate measuring machine in conjunction with appropriate CAD (computer and design) based inspection software which includes tube fitting capabilities.
