multi-point [multipoint] measuring [measurement] systems


Explanation:
IMHO the "Stelle" is the same as a "Messpunkt", so this seems to be a possibility.

See http://www.indiamart.com/maxismotion/mechatronic-services.ht...
"•RollCal 2:
Multipoint stand alone measurement system with capabilities similar to RollCal Classic but can also measure TRUE out of roundness.

•RollCal 3:
Fully automatic multipoint measurement systems for rolls used in very fast paper machines."

Your addition makes me wonder whether they in fact refer to "multi-level" or even "multi(-)axis measurement/control systems". Machine tools usually have several axes. Go figure...

Asker: Thanks, that sounds quite plausible.

Asker: Oh dear, that's why I asked the ProZ - I hoped they'd go figure for me! Maybe I'll ask the French as well.

Stephen, I am sorry you consider my
answer not helpful. Yet, my term suggested is almost
identical with Steffen’s one – obviously we had a very
similar system in mind. Thus, it still seems to me that
both the German and the suggested English terms are clear & straightforward.

Asker: This doesn't seem all that straightforward to me. Could you perhaps explain further?
