[0002] The positioning device used to measure the roundness of a ball in a coordinate measuring machine is a complex and sophisticated system that combines technologies from multiple fields such as mechanics, electronics, and computer technology. During the measurement process, the positioning device first places the sphere on a support structure and rotates the sphere in a specific direction through a rotating mechanism.
