Abstract
A CMM control system which presents a three-dimensional graphic representation to the operator showing the active probe tip recognized by the CMM software. The controller software determines whether a motorized probe head is present and the exact location the probe tip. By using three-dimensional vector graphic routines, the controller software presents a graphic display of the probe relative to the machine's coordinate system. This technique minimizes the occurrence of measurement errors which could be introduced by the unwary operator who inadvertently used CMM data taken with an unrecognized probe tip.
