This invention comprises a sensor (40) having a slit-ray generator (41) and a camera (42), a calibration block (100) for calibrating 3-dimensional coordinate values, a computer (10) for processing 2-dimensional coordinate values of the calibration block (100) and the object (90) to obtain data of 3-dimensional space coordinate and output it to CRT (60), a robot hand (10) for moving the sensor (40) on multiple axes. Therefore, this invention can measure the section profile shape of a tire, etc. accurately and quickly.

Non-contact measuring apparatus for the section profile of a tire and

A robotic hand controls movement of a workpiece relative to three longitudinal axes in response to three control signals and relative to mutually perpendicular rotational axes .alpha. and .beta. in response to two control signals. Two C-shaped holders carry two motors having mutually perpendicular rotating shafts. Each holder includes two parallel flanges connected together by a web. The first motor is mounted on the first holder so its shaft extends between the first holder flanges. A second holder flange is mounted on the first motor shaft between the first holder flanges. The second motor is mounted on the second holder other flange. A carrier for the first holder responds to three of the signals which control movement of the first holder relative to the longitudinal axes.
