Method for measuring a workpiece

Abstract

Method for measuring a workpiece, comprising the method steps of: providing a workpiece, wherein the workpiece has a surface with a surface structure; predefining a geometric measured variable of the workpiece, wherein the geometric measured variable is a diameter of the workpiece and wherein the geometric measured variable and a nominal-actual deviation of the geometric measured variable are defined in a reference plane; predefining a measuring path; tactile sensing of measured values on the workpiece by bringing a measuring probe into contact with the surface of the workpiece and the measuring probe scans the workpiece in contact with the surface along the predetermined measuring path; computational determination of the geometric measured variable and the nominal-actual deviation of the geometric measured variable from the measured values within the reference plane; wherein the predefined measuring path lies at least partially outside the reference plane.
