OPTICAL MEASURING TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEMS FOR ATOMIC INDUSTRY

Yu. V. Chugui

Abstract

Ensuring the safety of nuclear reactors and their high exploitation reliability requires a 100% noncontact precise inspection of geometrical parameters of their fuel elements and grid spacers. For the solution of this 3D inspection tasks we have developed and produced laser measuring machine (LMM) using multipoint structured illumination and optoelectronic shadow systems «Control – 1» and «Control – 2». The measurement methods, structures, operation and software of LMM and systems are described. The results of their industrial testing are presented and discussed.
