A multi-axis system () for positioning a workpiece measuring sensor () on a metrology machine. Preferably, each sensor is positionable via a system comprising movement along and/or about at least linear directions/axes (X, Z, A, B) so as to control linear and/or rotational movement of a sensor automatically to a predetermined position without operator intervention. The multi-axis positioning system allows faster setup times when a workpiece or tooling on a machine is changed.

Automated noncontact sensor positioning

A method and machine comprising at least one non-contact sensor () on a functional testing platform () for workpiece inspection and/or measurement. The inclusion of at least one non-contact sensor on the functional testing platform results in the combination of two machine platforms into a single machine and provides the user with measurement characteristics of both methods, functional and analytical, saving significant cycle time and significant space.

Measurement of toothed articles on a composite machine tester platform utilizing a non-contact sensor

A machine base () comprising a lower base portion () and an upper base portion () with the upper base portion including a downwardly projecting portion () extending to, into or through the lower base portion with no contact between the upper and lower base portions. The machine base further includes at least two vibration and/or shock isolation sub-systems ().
