ABSTRACT:
Relative movement in X, Y and Z axis directions is made between a main spindle and a table6for application in a machine tool in which a work is machined. An emitting element12for irradiating laser beam11and a photosensitive element13are disposed on the table6. A measuring tool8with its top end being shaped as a cone form is attached to the main spindle4. The laser beam11is interrupted with the cone form portion15of the measuring tool8through relative movement between the table6and measuring tool8before and after machining a work. Detection signal of interruption is generated at the moment of interruption, position is detected, operation processing is performed so that difference in X, Y and Z axes before and after machining is obtained along with values for correction. Positional coordinate values for three axis directions are detected simultaneously with a measuring device of a simple constitution by use of laser beam and values for correction such as of thermal displacement is obtained by operation processing of displacement values.
