Abstract
A method for producing a measurement probeinspection path on a machine tool is disclosed which includes the step of running a program e.g. a modified CAM editor programwhich allows the selection of geometric features of a workpieceto be inspected. Once selected the program will generate a measurement probe path which is included in software for loading into the numeric controller (NC) of the machine tool. The software can have cutting commands together with inspection path instructions either readable by the NC or written as unreadable instructions for use with a p.c.connected to the NC controller and preferably operating at the same time as the NC.
