Flexible manufacturing processes for high quality products at low costs are one of the main research objectives in the field of production technology. The quality inspection of large or complex workpieces manufactured on machine tools often takes place beside the production line. To assure the traceability of the quality inspection the features are often measured on a CMM. The manufacturing process is interrupted and transportation, handling and the loss of the original manufacturing setup influence the workpiece quality. The high invest and the mentioned aspects show the need for an machine integrated traceable measuring process.
