Abstract
A coordinate measuring machine includes a body, a controller configured to control the driving of the body, and an operation unit configured to provide a command to the controller via, for instance, an operation lever to manually operate the body. A contact detection sensor is attached to the operation unit. The controller includes a sensor signal determiner configured to detect an operation-enable signal in response to a detection signal from the contact detection sensor.
