Abstract

A portable coordinate measurement machine comprises an articulated arm having jointed arm segments. The arm includes modular bearing/encoder cartridges which are attached to each other at predetermined angles using dual socket joints. Each cartridge contains at least one, and preferably two preloaded bearing assemblies and an encoder, preferably optical encoder, all assembled in a cylindrical housing.
