Abstract
A coordinate measuring machine and a method for operating a coordinate measuring machine, and a rotary table module for a coordinate measuring machine with a rotary table for receiving a workpiece and a rotary table block are provided. The rotary table is supported on a rotary table side rotatably about a rotary table axis. The rotary table block has, opposite the rotary table side of the rotary table block, a bottom side with which the rotary table module can be supported on a measurement table of the coordinate measuring machine. The rotary table block has a further supporting side with which the rotary table block is supportable on the measurement table of the coordinate measuring machine and which differs from the bottom side in its alignment. The rotary table module includes a pose capturing device for the determination of whether the rotary table block is supported on the bottom side.
