Abstract
This invention relates to a method of measuring by a coordinate measuring instrument and the coordinate measuring instrument, wherein a probe to be brought into abutting contact with a work to be measured is moved in two- or tri-dimensional direction by a robot mechanism provided independently of a main body of measuring instrument. A moving path of the robot mechanism is preset, and, when a command to carry out a predetermined measuring program is given from a data processing unit, the robot mechanism is moved in accordance with the moving path, and a measured result is calculated to seek a dimension of the work, on the basis of measured data given through an abutting contact between the probe and the work.
