CA 2196236

A method and apparatus for measuring position and orientation of features of a part or item and tube fitting using a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is presented. The coordinate measuring machine comprising a multijointed manually, positionable measuring arm for accurately and easily measuring the position of a point in space by using a special probe, which may be a disk, to perform the tube fitting is interconnected with a host computer. The tube fitting is performed using a coordinate measuring machine in conjunction with appropriate CAD (computer and design) based inspection software which includes tube fitting capabilities.

L'invention est constituée par une méthode et un appareil servant à mesurer la position et l'orientation de certaines caractéristiques d'une pièce ou d'un article et à connecter des tubes au moyen d'une machine de mesure de coordonnées portative. Cette machine de mesure de coordonnées est dotée d'un bras de mesure orientable assemblable manuellement servant à mesurer facilement et avec précision la position d'un point dans l'espace à l'aide d'une sonde spéciale, laquelle peut être un disque, pour effectuer la connexion des tubes, et est interconnectée à un ordinateur hôte. La connexion des tubes se fait en utilisant la machine de mesure de coordonnées conjointement avec un logiciel d'inspection de conception assistée par ordinateur qui comporte des fonctions de connexion de tubes.
