Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A collision prevention device of a measurer measuring dimensions or the like of a measured object while relatively displacing the measured object and a non-contact probe. The collision prevention device includes a pole-shaped spindle extending alongside the non-contact probe; a support mechanism supporting the spindle such that a forefront end of the spindle projects farther than the non-contact probe; and a switch detecting a collision between the spindle and the measured object.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A collision prevention device of a measurer configured to measure a measured object while relatively displacing the measured object and a non-contact probe, the collision prevention device comprising: a rod extending alongside the non-contact probe; a support configured to support the rod such that a forefront end of the rod projects farther than the non-contact probe, the support comprising an adjuster that allows an operator to selectively proximally and distally adjust a position of the rod relative to the non-contact probe in the length direction of the rod; and a switch configured to detect a collision between the rod and the measured object. 2. The collision prevention device of the measurer according to claim 1 , wherein the rod includes a displacer configured to expand and contract in a length direction of the rod. 3. The collision prevention device of the measurer according to claim 2 , wherein the support includes a retractor configured to cause the rod to retract. 4. The collision prevention device of the measurer according to claim 3 , wherein the support comprises a probe switch configured switch, in accordance with a type of non-contact probe, the support position of the support in a length direction of the rod. 5. The collision prevention device of the measurer according to claim 2 , wherein the support comprises a probe switch configured switch, in accordance with a type of non-contact probe, the support position of the support in a length direction of the rod. 6. The collision prevention device of the measurer according to claim 1 , wherein the support includes a retractor configured to cause the rod to retract. 7. The collision prevention device of the measurer according to claim 6 , wherein the support comprises a probe switch configured switch, in accordance with a type of non-contact probe, the support position of the support in a length direction of the rod. 8. The collision prevention device of the measurer according to claim 1 , wherein the support comprises a probe switch configured switch, in accordance with a type of non-contact probe, the support position of the support in a length direction of the rod.
