Abstract

An exemplary measuring device (100) for measuring aspects of objects includes a first contour measuring probe (10), a second contour measuring probe (20) and a processor (30). The first contour measuring probe (10) has a first tip extension (16) and a first displacement sensor (19). The first tip extension (16) is slidable in a first direction. The first displacement sensor (19) is used to sense a displacement of the first tip extension (16). The second contour measuring probe (20) has a second tip extension (26) and a second displacement sensor. The second tip extension (26) is slidable in the first direction. The second displacement sensor is used to sense a displacement of the second tip extension (26). The processor (30) is electrically connected to the first displacement sensor (19) and the second displacement sensor respectively.
