Motorized cartridges and coordinate measuring machines having motorized cartridges are provided. The motorized cartridges include a cartridge housing having a shaft passing therethrough, a measurement probe coupled to shaft and arranged to detect movement of the shaft, and an integrated motor operably coupled to the shaft and arranged to drive movement of the shaft.

Modular servo cartridges for precision metrology

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 assembly includes a first component including an arm having a first end and a second end, a plurality of nuts positioned within an interior of the arm, a yoke cap, a plurality of fasteners threadably coupled with the plurality of nuts to affix the yoke cap to the first end of the arm, and a second component positioned between the first end of the arm and the yoke cap. The second component is rotatable about an axis relative to the arm.

Long-bolt cartridge clamping system

A portable articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM) for measuring the coordinates of an object in space is provided. The AACMM includes a base and a manually positionable arm portion having an opposed first end and second end, the arm portion being rotationally coupled to the base, the arm portion including a plurality of connected arm segments, each arm segment including at least one position transducer for producing a position signal. A wire wound torsion spring is operably coupled between two of the connected arm segments. A first measurement probe is coupled to the first end, the first measurement probe having a first extension element. An electronic circuit is provided that receives the position signal from the at least one position transducer and provides data corresponding to a position of the first measurement probe. A probe end is disposed between the first measurement probe and the first end.

Counterbalance for articulated arm coordinate measuring machine

Wearable coordinate measurement devices are described. The wearable coordinate measurement devices include a wearable member and a measurement portion attached to the wearable member. The measurement portion includes a first rotary measurement device, a first probe linkage having a first probe tip on an end thereof, and a second probe linkage having a second probe tip on an end thereof. The first rotary measurement device is configured to detect a separation distance between the first probe tip and the second probe tip.

Wearable coordinate measurement devices

Rotary assemblies for arm segments of an articulated arm coordinate measuring machines are provided. The rotary assemblies include a drive assembly having an output shaft passing therethrough. The drive assembly includes a motor subassembly and an output subassembly having a gear assembly and a shaft engagement element. The motor subassembly is configured to drive the gear assembly and the shaft engagement element to drive the output shaft. In some embodiments, a motor controller is operably coupled to the motor subassembly. The motor assembly provides a torque on an arm segment about a second axis in response to a signal from the motor controller.
