COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE FOR DETERMINING SPATIAL COORDINATES ON MEASURING OBJECT, AS WELL AS TURNING-AND-INCLINED MECHANISM FOR SUCH COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01B5/12 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: machine includes measuring head with measuring sensor. Measuring head has the possibility of being moved relative to measuring object. Contact probe (28) to touch the measuring object is fixed on measuring head. Contact probe (28) is connected to measuring head (26) by means of passive turning-and-inclined mechanism (60) providing the possibility of changing the position of contact probe in space. That passive turning-and-inclined mechanism (60) includes transmission (86, 92) having inlet and outlet sides. From outlet side, the transmission is connected to contact probe (28) with possibility of changing the position of contact probe (28) relative to measuring head (26), and from inlet side, it has at least one access point (88) for application of external drive moment to change position of contact probe (28).

EFFECT: improving flexibility of machine, readiness and measurement accuracy on objects with various multiple measurement points.
