  • Patent number: 11774228
    Abstract: A method is described for measuring workpieces, each having structural features that form test features for measurement. The method determines an unstable one and a stable one of the test features, based on expected violation or satisfaction, respectively, of a statistical control rule. The method measures workpieces such that the unstable test feature is measured more frequently than the stable test feature. The method ascertains whether the unstable test feature remains unstable and whether the stable test feature remains stable. The method measures additional workpieces if the unstable test feature remained unstable and the stable test feature remaining stable. The determining is repeated if the unstable test feature is no longer unstable, the stable test feature is no longer stable, or any other measurement feature changes, such as if a new batch of workpieces is to be measured, environmental conditions change, or measurement has proceeded longer than a predefined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210333775
    Abstract: A method for determining a measurement strategy for measuring a measurement object includes determining a test element of the measurement object. There is an automated test for the test element as to whether there is an applicable measurement rule in a measurement rule set of measurement rules defined in advance. An applicable measurement rule is added to a new measurement strategy or the test element-specific measurement rule of an existing measurement strategy is altered based on an applicable measurement rule. The measurement rules of the measurement rule set are determined by virtue of a measurement rule and at least one test criterion in respect of the applicability thereof being set for a test element by a user or in (partly) automated fashion. The measurement rule defines at least one parameter for measuring the test element.

  • Patent number: 10539417
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method for determining dimensional properties of a measurement object using a coordinate measuring machine. An image representation of the measurement object is shown to a user and the user selects a first geometric element of the measurement object, resulting in the display of eligible test features for the selected first geometric element. The eligible test features are automatically determined from a plurality of typical test features stored in a database, by the selected first geometric element being assigned to one of a plurality of predefined measurement elements stored in the database. A defined measurement sequence is generated in a computer-assisted manner based on the test feature selected by the user. Individual measured values are recorded on the first geometric element using the defined measurement sequence.
