Using bundle with the Romer

Ok so after multiple phone calls it seems as what I need to do is unheard of.

Using a 12ft Romer, 2011 MR1, I'm trying to write a program to inspect a very large part.

It will take roughly four station moves, and there is no features on the part that I can use as a common reference to get around with.

I would like to do a local alignment at one end of the part, measure my needed features, measure a temporary glued on reference then move to my next station and bundle, do the same and move again, then to be able to use the combined features for a final alignment and dimension as required. But there doesn't seem to be a way to measure a dynamic point for use with the bundle alignment.

As a work around though I haven't tested it yet, I figured I could stop execution, probe the temp ref, move the arm then bundle back in. I just don't know what that would do to the rest of my features in the program after that bundle. If it would work I could re-execute after the bundle till I have measured all the features for that position then repeat. I would much rather have a full program though that the operator could just execute and follow so that they don't have to deal with bundling themselves.

Hopefully someone might have some suggestions, a laser tracker is not an option and only using three points for the leap frog just seems like it would lose quite a bit of accuracy by the final position.

Thanks,
