Abstract
A coordinate measuring machine () for determining at least one spatial coordinate of a measurement point of an object () to be measured, comprising a base () and a drive mechanism, adapted to drive a probe head () in a manner such that the probe head () is capable to move relative to the base () for approaching a measurement point, characterized by a first range camera () having a range image sensor with a sensor array, wherein the range camera () is adapted to be directed to the object () for providing a range image () of the object (), and wherein range pixels of the range image are used for creating a point cloud with 3D-positions of target points of the object (), and a controller, adapted to control the drive mechanism on the basis of 3D-positions of the target points.
