Permanent calibration setup on numerically-controlled machine tool enables fast and reliable calibration of automated probes for inspection of workpieces while still mounted on machine. Setup includes one or more artifacts, dimensions and locations known precisely and stored in memory of computer controlling machine. Before probes used to inspect newly machined part, used to check artifacts. Probe measurements compared with values in memory to determine whether probe readings need adjustment.
