ABSTRACT:
A measuring apparatus is proposed which offers significantly more measuring possibilities compared with conventional apparatus. In particular, in addition to measurements in the Z axis it allows measurements in the horizontal plane, the measurement of inclined prismatic bodies, the determination of angles of inclination and the definition of bores and cylinders through three or more points. The combined action of two measuring systems (MS1, MS2) allows the mass to be moved during measurement as well as the necessary contact pressure of the measuring probe (10) to be significantly reduced, thus rendering the measuring apparatus suitable for automatic measuring cycles. A carriage (6) is positioned so as to be movable advantageously by means of a magnet bearing on a column (3) advantageously made of ceramic material and the displacement measured by a measuring system (MS1). The displacement of the measuring probe (10) in relation to the carriage (6) is measured by at least a second measuring system (MS2). The signals of both as well as any further measuring systems are fed into a computer (26) which evaluates them according to pre-determined criteria individually or dependent on one another. The measuring apparatus and/or the computer (26) can be connected via a standard interface with a freely programmable computer (28) or periphery equipment.
