ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method for automatically generating travel paths to the next geometric elements to be measured when there is a collision of the probe 25 or the probe head 10, for example, with the workpiece 22. The method utilizes safety-reference surfaces (S1 to S5) placed in the form of an enclosing parallelepiped about the workpiece 22. The shortest collision-free connecting paths (P1-P2-P3) from one geometric element to the next are computed on these safety-reference surfaces.
