However, the required surface normal can at least roughly be derived from the data of the ToF image.
  • a working volume (measuring volume 33) of the CMM can be achieved with the ToF camera 70
  • the axis of rotation in the coordinate system of the CMM 10 can be determined on the basis of the ToF images.
  • a known object eg the calibration ball 62
  • ToF images are recorded at different (known) rotation angles.
  • the calibration ball 62 is identifiable in each of the ToF images. From the familiar contour of the calibration sphere visible in the ToF image 62 can be closed back to the respective position of the center of the Einmesskugel 62. From the different positions of the centers at the different angular positions can be deduced on a trajectory of the center during rotation. The trajectory in turn defines an area on which the axis of rotation is perpendicular.
  • the orientation of the axis of rotation can be calculated from the ToF images.
  • the use of a ToF camera 70 offers the advantage that the CMM 10 does not provide any preliminary information, for example about the type and orientation of a new pushbutton 28, the position and orientation of an axis of rotation fastened on the CMM 10 or the position and Orientation of a located on the CMM 10 workpiece 32 is needed.
  • This preliminary information is conventionally provided by manual operation of the user in a pre-measurement step of the CMM 10. In this case, either the position of the calibration ball is manually roughly measured (probe calibration), the spatial axis of the installed rotary axis is manually roughly measured or the position of the workpiece is measured roughly by hand. Once this rough manual measurement has been carried out, the respective feature can then be measured again in an automated step.
  • the use of the ToF camera 70 makes the manual pre-measurement superfluous.
