Abstract:
1. A contour measuring method for measuring aspects of objects comprising the steps: (1) providing a measuring device comprising: (2) driving the first tip extension to contact a first surface of an object by the at least one hollow tube of the first contour measuring probe, and driving the second tip extension to contact a second surface of the object opposite to the first surface by the at least one hollow tube of the second contour measuring probe; (3) driving the first tip extension to move and maintain contact with the first surface of the object, and driving the second tip extension to move and maintain contact with the second surface of the object, while the first displacement sensor sending the displacement information of the first tip extension to the processor, and the second displacement sensor sending the displacement information of the second tip extension to the processor; (4) computing a cross-section of the object by the processor according to the displacement information on the first tip extension and the second tip extension; and (5) repeating the step (3) and (4), the processor computing a plurality of cross-sections of the object, the cross-sections compiled to obtain aspects of object.
