1. A multiposition measuring installation, comprising:
- a framework;
a worktable located in said framework to support a workpiece;
a plurality of measuring devices to measure a multitude of parameters of the workpiece and to generate signals indicating values for said measured parameters;
support means connecting each of said measuring devices to the framework and supporting each of the measuring devices for movement therealong, each of said support means supporting each of the measuring devices for movement along the framework in two mutually orthogonal directions independent of all of the other of the measuring devices;
each of said measuring devices including a body and a sensor to sense a parameter of the work piece, the sensor of each measuring device being connected to the body thereof for movement in a direction orthogonal to the two directions in which the support means supports the measuring device for movement; and
evaluation means connected to the measuring devices to receive said signals therefrom and to evaluate said signals according to a predetermined program, and to compare at least selected signals to corresponding reference values.
