Abstract:
1. An apparatus for measuring the topography of moving specimens, adapted to be applied to a transportation system, comprising: a control unit; a control module of linear movement, electrically connecting to the control unit; at least one first linear movement device, each disposed above the transportation system while being electrically connected to the control module of linear movement; a first measurement control module, electrically connecting to the control unit; and at least one first measuring module, each being mounted at the corresponding first linear movement device while being enabled to optically connect to the first measurement control module for optical transmission, wherein the apparatus is configured to make an evaluation for determining whether the topography or thickness of a testing specimen can be obtained: if the evaluation determines that the topography or thickness can be obtained, integrating information including a sampling frequency, a moving speed of the testing specimen, a measuring speed of the first measuring module and a signal relating to the position of the first measuring module for obtaining the topography and/or thickness of the testing specimen.
