Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring a workpiece, the apparatus comprising:a control and evaluation unit generating machine measuring values (xi, yi, zi) and said unit including a first timer; a measuring sensor detecting sensor measuring values (xâ€²i, yâ€²i, zâ€²i) and said measuring sensor including a second timer; said first and second timers operating independently of each other; said measuring sensor being coupled with said control and evaluation unit; an electromechanical mechanism operatively connected to said control and evaluation unit for displacing said measuring sensor in three coordinate directions relative to said workpiece in response to said measuring values (xâ€²i, yâ€²i, zâ€²i); and, a synchronizing device for synchronizing said first timer and said second timer.
