Abstract
In a coordinate measuring machine, a Y-axis guide section is formed at one lateral end of a table for placing a work and consisting of a first lower flat guide surface formed in parallel to the upper surface of the table and two parallel vertical guide surfaces formed respectively on the opposite sides of the first lower flat guide surface, both extend in the direction of movement of a measuring member support body. A second lower flat guide surface is formed at the other lateral end of the table in parallel to the upper surface of the table. Vertical position of the measuring member support body relative to the table on the side of the Y-axis guide section is regulated by using the upper surface of the table and the first lower flat surface. Horizontal position of the measuring member support body relative to the table is regulated by using the two parallel vertical guide surfaces. Another vertical position of the measuring member support body relative to the table on the other side of the Y-axis guide section is regulated by using the upper surface of the table and the second lower flat guide surface.
