Manual measuring system
A manual measuring system (an articulated three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine or a gantry three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine) allows a measuring probe to be manually moved while enabling a user to focus on making measurements and allows the user to manually move the measuring probe in order to facilitate and accelerate measurements. The manual measuring system includes a sub-monitor (portable terminal) that is mounted near the tip of the measuring probe. It is possible to display on the sub-monitor a guided route for the measuring probe to a measurement point or to indicate on the sub-monitor that the measuring probe has entered a measurement allowable range or to allow the user to direct by means of the sub-monitor to obtain a measurement value by the measuring probe.
1. An articulated manual measuring system with a measuring probe configured to be manually moved, comprising:
the measuring probe configured to measure a work and having a tip in a predetermined shape;
an articulated arm mechanism that includes a base, a plurality of arms, joints between the arms, and an arm head with the measuring probe; and
a sub-monitor mounted on the arm head.
2. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein a guided route for the measuring probe to a measurement point is configured to be displayed on the sub-monitor.
3. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein a content in which the measuring probe is in a measurement allowable range is configured to be displayed on the sub-monitor.
4. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the manual measuring system is configured to be directed, by means of the sub-monitor, to obtain a measurement value by the measuring probe.
5. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the sub-monitor is a touch panel display.
6. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 5 , wherein the sub-monitor is a portable communication terminal.
7. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the sub-monitor is mounted via a link mechanism.
8. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the sub-monitor is configured to be detachable from the articulated manual measuring system.
9. The articulated manual measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the articulated manual measuring system is an articulated three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine.
