Optical measurement

Quick and contactless testing of components and industrial systems with optical measurement

Quick and contactless testing of surfaces and geometries

Optical measuring methods are as old as photography. What was previously used for measuring landscapes or large buildings now enables measurements down to the micrometer range in the 21st century (depending on the application).

Measurement technology based on optical methods is primarily used to check and maintain geometric dimensions and surface properties. Laser scanners, photogrammetry or strip projection systems are usually used in the application.

VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS

Optical measuring systems record the measuring object using optical sensors. Depending on the application and the measuring technology used, the size, shape and position of the measuring object can be checked. To check a feature, the measuring object is positioned in the appropriate position and measured. If necessary, the measuring object or the sensor can also be moved.

After the data has been collected, the measuring system carries out an automated target-actual comparison and can thus record deviations from the desired object properties.

Advantages:

  • Contact-free process without mechanical gauges

  • Precise measurement accuracy and fast results

  • 100% control even in series production

  • No wear and tear on the sensors used

Challenges:

  • High demands on the production environment

  • Highly precise calibration and initial setup

  • Trouble-free measurement recording

Areas of application:

  • Quality assurance in production

  • Automatic detection of tolerance deviations
