Abstract

A base of a device for supporting a vehicle body component to be measured or for measuring such a component. The base can be moved in order to arrange the supporting or measuring device in a reference position, in particular on a floor on which the device sits in the reference position. The base preferably has a box-like design, including a top wall and a base wall which has a recess.

Claims (11)

1. A base plate of a device for holding a vehicle body component to be measured or for measuring such a component, wherein the base plate is configured to be displaceable into a reference position for arrangement of the holding or measuring device, wherein the base plate is configured to be placeable on a ground surface and rest on the ground surface in the reference position, wherein the base plate comprises individually driven Mecanum wheels that are extendable from the base plate in a direction of the ground surface so as to raise the base plate, wherein the base plate is configured as a box with a top wall and a bottom wall, the top wall having fastening bores for mounting device parts, the fastening bores is being arranged in a grid, and wherein the base plate is configured to be remotely controlled in a wireless manner or configured so that a travel path is predetermined by path markings and/or programming.

2. The base plate according to claim 1 , wherein the wheels include four wheels arranged correspondingly to corners of a rectangle.

3. The base plate according to claim 1 , further comprising electromechanical movement devices that extend the wheels from the base plate.

4. The base plate according to claim 3 , wherein the wheels are connected in pairs to a tubular axle that accommodates wheel drives.

5. The base plate according to claim 4 , wherein, in order to extend the wheels, the tubular axle is arranged to be movable perpendicularly with respect to a wheel axle by the movement device.

6. The base plate according to claim 4 , wherein the tubular axle is movable perpendicular to a plane of the base plate.

7. The base plate according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall has cutouts through which installation spaces for fittings are accessible.

8. The base plate according to claim 1 , wherein the base plate has at least one bulge for accommodating a scanner that scans surroundings of the plate.

9. The base plate according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one bulge includes bulges at plate corners lying diagonally opposite one another.

10. The base plate according to claim 1 , further comprising a device for detecting path markings.

11. The base plate according to claim 10 , wherein the device is a bar code reader.
