Abstract
A measuring apparatuscomprises: a basefixed onto the rotary table; a rotational angular position detectorhaving first and second membersandmounted in relatively rotatable fashion about a preset rotational center axis, one member being provided with a scale and the other with a reading device, wherein the first memberis mounted fixedly on the base; a restraining mechanismwhich engages with the second memberof the rotational angular position detectorand thereby restrains rotation of the second member, while allowing the baseand the rotational angular position detectorto move in vertical direction; and a ring-shaped detection membermounted perpendicularly on the baseby orienting center axis at right angles to the upper surface of the rotary tableand accommodating therein the rotational angular position detector
