Mobile 3D coordinate measurement device

An articulated arm coordinate measuring machine includes an arm having multiple segments and an end assembly. The end assembly has multiple accessory interfaces that allow multiple accessories to be coupled to the end assembly. The accessory interfaces are configured to allow the accessories to be repeatably interchanged between the accessory interfaces.

Articulated arm coordinate measuring machine

According to some aspects of the invention, auxiliary axis measurement systems for determining three-dimensional coordinates of an object are provided as shown and described herein. According to some aspects of the invention, methods for operating auxiliary axis measurement systems for determining three-dimensional coordinates of an object are provided as shown and described herein.

Coordinate measurement system with auxiliary axis

An articulated arm coordinate measuring machine includes a first end that clamps to a first extension element of a first measurement probe.

Measurement device

A portable articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM) is provided including a manually positionable articulated arm having opposed first and second ends. The arm includes multiple connected arm segments. Each arm segment has a longitudinal axis. Each arm segment includes a generally tubular core, an outer sleeve surrounding at least a portion of a length of the core, and at least one position transducer for producing a position signal. The outer sleeve is a cylindrical tube having a first portion at a first end and a second portion that extends from the first portion to an opposite end. The first portion is coupled to an end of the core. The first portion is shorter than the second portion and the second portion is configured to move relative to the core.

Coordinate measuring machines with dual layer arm

Laser scanning device

A portable articulated arm coordinate measurement machine can include a base, a manually positionable articulated arm portion having opposed first and second ends, the arm portion including a plurality of connected arm segments, an electronic circuit that receives the position signals from the transducers, a first inclinometer coupled to the base, wherein the inclinometer is configured to produce a first electrical signal responsive to an angle of tilt of the base and an electrical system configured to record a first reading of the first inclinometer and a second reading of the first inclinometer, wherein the first reading is in response to at least one of a first force applied to the base and a third force applied to the mounting structure, wherein the second reading is in response to at least one of a second force applied to the base and a fourth force applied to the mounting structure.

Method for evaluating mounting stability of articulated arm coordinate measurement machine using inclinometers

A case for a device configured to couple with a mounting fixture is provided. The case includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing and the second housing are cooperatively shaped to enclose a first portion of the device when the device is coupled to the mounting fixture. The first housing and the second housing form an opening when coupled together and expose a second portion of the device that comprises the coupling hardware for attaching the device to the mounting fixture. A third housing is removably coupled to the opening wherein the third housing is cooperatively shaped to receive the second portion of the device and enclose the device when the device is removed from the mounting fixture.

Case for a device

A portable articulated arm coordinate measuring machine is provided having a base. A cover is rotatably coupled to the base to move between a closed position and an open position. A display is arranged within the cover. The display includes a screen surface, such as a touch sensitive screen surface, disposed on one side of the housing. The screen surface being adjacent the base in the closed position and disposed on an angle to the base in the open position.

Display for coordinate measuring machine

A portable articulated arm coordinate measuring machine is provided. The coordinate measuring machine includes a base with an arm portion. A probe end is coupled to an end of the arm portion distal from the base. The probe end has a fastener and a first connector. A device is removably coupled to the probe end by the fastener, the accessory having a second connector arranged to engage the first connector when the fastener couples the device to the probe end.
