Abstract: A workstation for inspecting and documenting an inspection piece includes a frame for holding the inspection piece. The frame has a hollow construction and includes several hollow legs coupled to an underside of the frame for forming an air conduit from the frame through the hollow legs. This allows the frame to slide upon an air cushion formed beneath the legs. A coordinate generator is mounted below the inspection piece and provides coordinate information relative to the inspection piece. A processor is coupled to the coordinate generator for receiving the coordinate information. The processor includes a memory for storing inspection and documentation information for the inspection piece. An operator interface is coupled to the processor for carrying out the inspection and documentation of the inspection piece in accordance with the inspection and documentation information stored in the memory.
