Abstract

A mechanism which is capable of moving or measuring in 3 dimensions comprising 3 articulated legs A, B and C arranged in a tripod formation so that they each attach to individual swivel bases D and join through swivel joints to a common head assembly E at the apex. By altering the angle of articulation of each leg, the head assembly can be moved and controlled in space in three dimensions. The system resembles a tripod thus providing a high degree of triangulation stiffness. Because each of the joints lies either in the horizontal or vertical plane, the head assembly is constrained from tilting.
