Title:
How to move a device
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6085513
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of moving an articulating mechanism (22,410) for a measuring device, comprising the steps of: releasing two bodies (14,16, 410a,410b) which form the articulating mechanism allowing relative movement thereof; moving one of the bodies with respect to the other until a desired position is reached; and re-constraining the two bodies so they are relatively fixed, as part of a locking process. To ensure the reproducibility of the positioning, the movement is controlled by comparing a current reading of the position with a recorded reading, which may be recorded in a table. Also disclosed is a method of positioning an articulating mechanism (22,410) for a measuring device which is controlled by a potentiometer and a controller (11) for a measuring device.
