Shape measuring apparatus
First Claim
1. A shape measuring apparatus configured so that a measuring probe is caused to move in a relative manner with respect to a candidate object, and a three-dimensional shape of the candidate object is measured in a non-contact manner from information obtained by the measuring probe,the shape measuring apparatus comprising:
- a movement device for moving the measuring probe to a desired position with respect to the candidate object, anda support device for rotating the candidate object around at least two rotational axes.

Abstract
[PROBLEMS] To provide a shape measuring apparatus having a configuration which enables the operation for aligning a measuring probe and a candidate object to be simplified when the shape of the candidate object is measured.
[MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS] A shape measuring apparatus is configured so that an optical probe 20 moves relative to a candidate object, and the three-dimensional shape of the candidate object is measured without contact from information obtained by the optical probe 20. The shape measuring apparatus includes a gantry structure 10 allowing the optical probe 20 to be moved to a predetermined position relative to the candidate object, and a support device 30 allowing the candidate object to be rotated around at least two rotational axes.

7. A shape measuring apparatus comprising:
-
a support device on which a candidate object is mounted, an imaging device for illuminating the candidate object mounted on the support device, receiving light from the candidate object, and imaging the candidate object, a measurement processor for measuring the candidate object based on an image of the candidate object taken by the imaging device, a movement mechanism for supporting the support device and the imaging device to enable at least three relative movements among relative rotational movement around three mutually perpendicular axes and relative translational movement along the three axes, and an operation control device for controlling the relative movement of the support device and the imaging device, the operation control device having a first operational control mode for controlling the relative movement of the imaging device and the support device in order for the imaging device to scan an imaged portion of the candidate object, and a second operational control mode for controlling the relative movement of the imaging device and the support device while maintaining a state in which the imaging device can image the imaged portion. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 17, 18, 19, 20)
