Abstract
A coordinate measuring robotic device includes a housing movably supported on a base and mounting a vertical pillar along which rides a carriage engaged by a horizontally translating arm carrying a probe. The movement of the housing, carriage, and probe can be driven by motors in the housing transmitted by a cable and pulley assembly. Tools such as a laser beam emitter can be located on the arm and supplied with laser light by a plurality of mirrors positioned on the device.
