Abstract
A system for a computer-controlled measurement of workpieces has at least one measuring machine and a device for entering dimensions of workpieces to be produced as parameters into a database. The system is distinguished in that the measuring strategy of a measuring program can be generated by a computer in dependence on the parameters to be read in from the database and the generated measuring program is converted into a machine-dependent control program of the measuring machine.
Claims11
A system for measuring workpieces, comprising:
- at least one measuring machine;
- a database;
- a device connected to said database for entering dimensions of the workpieces to be produced as parameters into said database;
- and
- a processor connected between said measuring device and said database, said processor generating a measuring program in dependence on the parameters read in from said database.
