Table 110 has a wheel 112 on the bottom for easy movement. Unlike the illustrated example, the wheel 112 may be omitted.

The stone tablets 120 are seated on the table 110. Stone top plate 120 is applied to the top surface of the stone to be applied to the processing.

The tool seating spindle 130 is rotatably mounted on the stone plate 120.

The tool seating spindle 130 is rotatably installed about the vertical direction, and can be rotated by the operation of the handle 135.

For example, the tool seating spindle 130 may be constructed to be rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the handle 135 through the bevel gear.

In addition, the tool seating spindle 130 is formed to have a tapered receiving groove 131 to be gradually narrowed downward to seat the tool 200 formed in the BT tapered form is applied.

The base plate 123 is detachably installed on the stone plate 120 by a fixing member such as a bolt.

The first guide part 145 and the first linear scale sensor 171 are provided on the upper surface of the base plate 123.

In this case, if you want to replace the stone plate 120 or move the measuring device to another working environment to use the base plate 123 is separated from the stone plate 120 provides an easy portability advantage. Unlike the illustrated example, the base plate 123 may be omitted.

The first guide part 145 is formed on the upper surface of the base plate 123 so as to extend in the first direction, that is, the X direction.

The first guide part 145 may be formed to have a sliding coupling structure corresponding to the body carrier 140 so that the body carrier 140 can be transferred along the first direction.

In the illustrated example, the first guide part 145 has a rack gear 146 formed along the length direction. In this case, a pinion (not shown) may be rotatably installed at a portion of the body carrier 140 that faces the rack gear 146. Unlike the illustrated example, the first guide part 145 may be formed in a rail shape, and the body carrier 140 may be formed to be slid by being constrained to the rail.

Reference numeral 148 is a stopper provided to restrain the body carrier 140 to the first guide part 145.

The first linear scale sensor 171 is installed on the base plate 123 in parallel with the first guide part 145, and may measure a position value corresponding to a moving position of the body carrier 140. 140).

The first linear scale sensor 171 may be applied to various known methods. For example, a fine scale may be engraved therein, and a method of reading a pulse as the sensor module passes and converting the pulse into a linear movement distance may be applied. . In this case, the sensor module is installed in the body carrier 140.

The second guide part 155 rotates in parallel with the vertical bar 156 and the vertical bar 156 installed vertically from the upper surface of the body carrier 140, that is, extended in a second direction along the Z direction in the second direction. A screw 157, possibly installed, was applied.

The second linear scale sensor 173 is installed vertically along the extending direction of the vertical bar 156 so as to detect the lifting height of the lifting carrier 150.

The lifting carrier 150 is installed to be lowered along the vertical bar 156 according to the rotation of the screw 157.

The third guide part 165 is integrally coupled to the lifting carrier 150, and extends along a third direction, that is, a Y direction, orthogonal to the first and second directions, respectively. It is restrained and formed so that sliding is possible.

The third linear scale sensor 175 is provided on the third guide part 165 so as to measure the movement position of the measurement carrier 160.

The sliding coupling structure between the measurement carrier 160 and the third guide bar 165 may use any of the methods described above.

The measurement carrier 160 is equipped with measurement sensors 161 and 162 capable of measuring various dimensions including the outer diameter and the length of the measurement object when it is in contact with the measurement object. The measurement sensors 161 and 162 are typically formed so that the contactor and the contactor can calculate a set parameter, for example, height and diameter, when the contactor is in contact with the measurement object. Can be.

As an example, the measurement sensors 161 and 162 may be applied with a first digital gauge in which the contactor extends in the X direction and a second digital gauge in which the contactor extends downward along the Z direction. . In this case, the first digital gauge is used to measure the diameter or width of the tool or workpiece to be measured, and the second digital gauge is used to measure the height of the tool or workpiece to be measured.

Unlike the illustrated example, a well-known measuring sensor capable of measuring both height and diameter with one gauge may be applied. As an example, the measuring caliper disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 1988-0007995 may be applied. .

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, a contact sensor may be rotated from the body, and a measurement sensor 163 may be applied to provide measurement information corresponding to a rotation angle.

In the tool measuring mode, the center point of the tool seating spindle 130 is zero. As a result, the controller 190 calculates the diameter and the height from the values measured by the measurement sensors 161 and 162 and displays the same through the display unit 185.

In addition, in the workpiece countermeasure mode, when the user operates the zero setting key while the user touches one side of the countertop product with the measuring sensor 162 with respect to the countertop goods placed at an arbitrary position on the upper surface of the stone platform 120. When the contact signal of the measuring sensor 162 is received based on the zero position, the value detected by the measuring sensors 161, 162, 163 and the linear scale sensors 171, 173, 175 is zeroed. The measured value calculated by converting from to the corresponding dimension value is calculated and displayed on the display unit 185.
