    Abstract: There is provided an automatic measuring system that can automate measurement and a control method for automatic measurement. An automatic measuring system includes a measuring sensor tool that detects a surface of an object to be measured with a probe to measure a dimension or a shape of the object to be measured, and a multi-axis moving mechanism that relatively moves the measuring sensor tool with respect to the object to be measured. The measuring sensor tool includes a cover part to protect the probe. In an approaching step in which the moving mechanism causes the measuring sensor tool to approach a point to be measured of the object to be measured, the cover part accommodates the probe inside the cover part. After the approaching step is completed, the probe is exposed from the cover part to detect the surface of the object to be measured.

    Abstract: Provided herein are various embodiments of an improved device for accurate measurement along a desired axis that is tolerant to off axis movement and other environmental factors. The measurement relies on a conversion from linear displacement of a tensile element in a pulley system which is monitored by a low power rotational encoder. The orientation and mechanical architecture of the device is set to reduce the impact of off-axis movement or forces on the measurement of interest. A computing unit determines the distance measurement by determining the state of rotation in the system in the context of the system's specific design, without the need to constantly monitor the sensor.
