Abstract
A coordinate measuring device includes a non-contact-type measurement probe having a light emitter that emits light at a work piece along a plane, and an image capturer that captures an image of the emitted light produced by a surface of the work piece; a determiner that determines whether a distance from the measurement probe to the work piece is in an imageable range where the image of the emitted light can be captured, in a far range that is more distant than the imageable range, or in a proximal range that is closer than the imageable range; a notification device issuing a notification of results of a determination made by the determiner; and a memory storing the determination results.
