USER INTERFACE FOR OPTICAL MULTI-SENSORIAL MEASUREMENTS AT EXTRUDED PROFILES

Albert Weckenmann, Johannes Bernstein

Abstract

Nowadays the process-control of concave extruding is a measuring task with rising requirements. A novel optical bi-sensorial measurement system – consisting of a shadow- and a light-section-system – as well as suitable methods of analysis for the in-line inspection are presented. The proposals help to ensure the product quality on a higher level than before. The combination of dimensional accuracy and data-density leads to excellent results. The optical multi-sensor measurement system has to be calibrated and aligned to detect the same surface zone despite of high refresh rates and optical resolutions. The metered characteristics will be coordinate transformed to extrinsic world-coordinates for evaluating form deviations of complex parts. An appropriate user-interface enables to re-calculate measurement objects in-line and evaluate the conformity of the part consequently. Finally the real length information assists to influence the process control. After successful test in laboratory the results will be proved in production to the target: measurement uncertainty of better 0.1 mm at every profile.
