Abstract
The invention relates to a coordinate measuring apparatus (110) for measuring an object (3), comprising an x-ray sensory mechanism as a first sensory mechanism that is provided with an x-ray source (10) and at least one x-ray sensor (7) which detects the x-rays, and a second sensory mechanism such as a tactile and/or an optical sensory mechanism (8, 11; 9) that can be placed in the x, y, and/or z direction of the coordinate measuring apparatus in relation to the object. In order to be able to easily measure also large-size test objects, the x-ray sensory mechanism (7, 10) can be positioned in the coordinate measuring apparatus (10) according to the second sensory mechanism (8, 11; 9).
