ABSTRACT:
A method for assembling a linkage assembly for a 3-D Digitizing Probe Apparatus. A linkage assembly for incorporation into the probe apparatus includes a linkage and a joint member provided at each end of the linkage. Joint fixtures for receiving and holding the joints are provided at a desired distance and orientation apart. The joint members are loosely coupled to the linkage and are moved relative to the linkage so that the joint members fit in the joint fixtures and so that the linkage provides a desired length between the joints. The joint members are bonded to the linkage while the assembly is in the fixtures, thus fastening the components of the assembly together with minimal stress to the assembly and providing a precise linkage length and orientation of joints in the assembly.
