The invention relates to full-automatic contact type measuring equipment and method. The full-automatic contact type measuring equipment comprises a test bench, a longitudinal sliding table and a cross beam, wherein the longitudinal sliding table is longitudinally and slidably arranged on the test bench and can be used for fixedly placing a measured workpiece, the cross beam is suspended above thetest bench, and at least one measuring arm which can move back and forth along the cross beam is arranged on the cross beam. Compared with the prior art, the equipment in the invention is the equipment specially for rapid and high-precision measurement of the geometric dimension of the large-size workpieces with pores and burrs on the surface, the size of the workpiece is measured by means of a contact type displacement sensor, the defects of the existing measuring method are avoided, so that the influence of the pores and burrs on the surface of the workpiece on precision can be avoided by the measuring equipment, the measurement of the large-size workpiece is more efficient and accurate, relatively complicated workpiece shapes can be adapted to, various dimensions of the thickness, theperpendicularity, the parallelism, the flatness and the like can be measured; meanwhile, the cost of the measuring equipment is lower, and the maintenance and the calibration are simpler and more convenient.
