ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method wherein the probe head of a coordinate measuring apparatus is driven in a controlled manner in accordance with desired data. The control data, which are necessary for the control, are prepared in the computer of the coordinate measuring apparatus as a point sequence (S1 to Sm) from the geometric data (G1 to Gn) as, for example CAD data. These CAD data describe the work profile to be scanned. For this purpose, the computer encodes the speed profile which ensures a jolt-free movement and a measurement time as short as possible by appropriately selecting the spacings between the points (S1 to Sm) of the control data.
