A two-axis measurement system includes a structural support frame having at least two horizontally disposed parallel rails defining a length of the structural support frame at opposite sides thereof. The support frame further defines a test space between the opposite sides. A bridge extends perpendicularly between the rails and is capable of controlled movement along the rails over the length of the structural support frame. A first probe carriage carried by the bridge permits controlled movement along a span of the bridge. A vertical tower is coupled to the bridge orthogonally with the rails, and a second probe carriage is carried by the vertical tower permitting controlled movement along a height of the vertical tower. The first probe carriage is selectively moveable within a horizontal test plane defined in a first axial dimension by the rails and in a second axial dimension by the bridge by cooperative movement of the bridge and the first probe carriage. The second probe carriage is selectively moveable within a vertical test plane defined in the first axial dimension by the rails and in a third axial dimension by the vertical tower by cooperative movement of the bridge and the second probe carriage.
