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.
Claims10
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 post-processor connected between said measuring machine and said database, said post-processor generating a measuring program in dependence on the parameters read in from said database said measuring machine reading the parameters into a control program while said control program is running, said post-processor converting said measuring program into said control program.

A method for measuring workpieces, which comprises the steps of:
- providing at least one measuring machine and a device entering dimensions of the workpieces to be produced as parameters into a database;
- generating a measuring program using a post-processor in dependence on the parameters to be read in from the database;
- reading the parameters into a control program with the measuring machine while the control program is running, wherein a post-processor converting the measuring program into the control program;
- and
- outputting the dimensions of the workpieces to a user.
