Abstract:
A processing device includes: a coordinate acquisition unit that acquires a moving amount of a measuring probe and a probe output; a matrix generation unit that generates a correction matrix including linear correction elements and non-linear correction elements; and a probe output correction unit that corrects the probe output with the correction matrix. The coordinate acquisition unit acquires the moving amount and the probe output of the measuring probe in each of measurement points in a quantity larger than or equal to the sum of the number of the linear correction elements and the number of the non-linear correction elements. Consequently, a non-linear error of the probe output supplied from the measuring probe can be corrected, and thus shape coordinates of an object to be measured can be obtained with high accuracy.

Abstract:
A calculator includes a first filter, a second filter, and an adding device. The first filter outputs, as a first corrected value, a value in which displacement of a displacement table detected by a scale has been corrected based on first frequency transfer characteristics from a scale to a measured object station. The second filter outputs, as a second corrected value, a value in which the first corrected value is corrected based on second frequency transfer characteristics from a ball tip to a ball tip displacement detector. The adding device adds the second corrected value and displacement of the ball tip detected by the ball tip displacement detector to calculate a measured value.
Abstract:
A contact detector circuit that detects a change in a DC sensor signal based on a change in a physical amount to be detected includes: a reference signal generation circuit that generates a reference signal based on the DC sensor signal; a trigger signal output circuit that compares the DC sensor signal with the reference signal and outputs a trigger signal based on a result of the comparison; and a sampling-and-holding circuit that holds the reference signal when the trigger signal is started to be outputted and outputs the held reference signal to the trigger signal output circuit while the trigger signal is outputted. The trigger signal output circuit uses the reference signal outputted by the sampling-and-holding circuit for the comparison with the DC sensor signal while the trigger signal is outputted.
Abstract:
A shape measuring machine includes a slider that supports a scanning probe including a tip sphere. A scale unit detects a displacement of the slider. A tip sphere displacement detection unit detects a displacement of the tip sphere. A calculation unit includes a correction filter and an adder, and calculates a measurement value from the displacements of the slider and the tip sphere. The correction filter outputs a correction value that is obtained by correcting the displacement of the tip sphere detected by the tip sphere displacement detection unit based on an inverse characteristic of a frequency transfer characteristic from the scale unit to the tip sphere. The adder calculates the measurement value by adding the displacement of the slider detected by the scale unit and the correction value.
Abstract:
An image sensor for fringe images of interference fringes and the like in which the optical system has a simpler configuration than that of the conventional line image sensor, and faster detection becomes possible includes a light receiving plane on which two or more straight rows of pixels are disposed, and captures images of regular fringes generated from light reflected from an irradiated body in accordance with the amount of light received by each pixel; among the rows of pixels, at least two rows of pixels are disposed at right angles to each other, and acquires images of linear fringes crossing almost at right angles in two directions among the fringe projected onto the light receiving plane.
