ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of measuring by a coordinate measuring instrument. A detecting element is manually moved along a sample of work to be measured in accordance with a predetermined sequence of measuring steps. A moving path of the detecting element is detected by displacement detectors which produce output signals which are inputted to a command unit incorporated in a robot mechanism for storage. Subsequently, a data processing unit gives a command to carry out an automatic measuring sequence, and the robot mechanism is moved along the stored moving path by its drive system, whereby measurement results for dimensions are calculated on the basis of data acquired during the automatic measuring due to the contact between the detecting element and the work and data stored during the manual set-up phase. The detecting element is uncoupled from the drive system of the robot mechanism during the manual set-up phase.
