Patent Images
1. A portable articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM), comprising:
- a base;
a manually positionable articulated arm having opposed first and second ends, the arm being rotationally coupled to the base on the second end, the arm including a plurality of connected arm segments, each arm segment including at least one position transducer for producing a position signal;
a measurement device attached to the first end;
an electronic circuit which receives the position signals from the transducers and provides data corresponding to a position of the measurement device;
a cover directly coupled to the base; and
a display arranged within the cover and electrically coupled to the electronic circuit, the display having a screen surface disposed on one side of the cover.

Abstract
A portable articulated arm coordinate measuring machine is provided having a base. A cover is rotatably coupled to the base to move between a closed position and an open position. A display is arranged within the cover. The display includes a screen surface, such as a touch sensitive screen surface, disposed on one side of the housing. The screen surface being adjacent the base in the closed position and disposed on an angle to the base in the open position.
