[0039] Further, a supporting block for supporting the workpiece is fixedly arranged on the workbench 31 and located between the two support plates 32.

[0040] A positioning pin or a positioning shaft sleeve limiting and cooperating with the workpiece is arranged on the clamping surface of the limiting plate 34.

[0041] A downward pressing cylinder 7 is arranged on the front side of the electric sliding rail 6, a wedge-shaped block 310 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 31, and a locking groove corresponding to the wedge-shaped block 310 is arranged on the output end of the downward pressing cylinder 7.

[0049] First, the workpiece to be tested is placed on the clamping mechanism 3 by the multi-axis robot arm 13. The loading / unloading sensor 92 senses that the workpiece has been placed in place. Figure 7 As shown, the electric slide rail 6 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to move forward, moving the workpiece from positioning area A to positioning area B.

After the measurement is completed, the electric slide rail 6 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to return to the positioning area A, and the multi-axis robot 13 takes out the workpiece and completes the loading and unloading operation, thereby realizing the entire process of automated measurement of the workpiece.

[0050] The working principle of the measuring station 2 of this utility model is roughly as follows:

[0051] A multi-axis robotic arm 22 moves a coordinate measuring probe 23 to the target measurement point on the workpiece. During the movement, the coordinate measuring probe 23 emits near-infrared light, which is received by a high-definition camera 21, which captures the position and orientation of the probe 23 in real time. Subsequently, the coordinate measuring probe 23 contacts and measures each measurement point on the workpiece surface, acquiring the corresponding parameter information. An algorithm is then used to calculate the three-dimensional coordinates between these measurement points, thereby achieving high-precision measurement of the workpiece's geometry, dimensions, and tolerances.
