The Uncertainty of Coordinate Metrology as a Function of Sampling Strategy

Volume 9, Issue 1

Ahmad Barari, Farzaneh Kaji

The main objective in all metrology processes is to limit uncertainty. The objective of coordinate metrology processes is not any different. A coordinate metrology process is successful only if it reduces the level of uncertainty in geometric and...

50-Micron Hole Position Drilling Using Laser Tracker-Controlled Robots

Volume 9, Issue 1

Randy Swanson, Gregorio Balandran, Scott Sandwith

This article presents test results from a project integrating a laser tracker (using a 6D sensor) with a large serial robot to deliver flexible determinate hole-drilling cell solutions. There were two key steps proven during the test program: first, to...

Multi-Scale Inspection of Worn Surfaces for Product Regeneration

Volume 8, Issue 1

Moritz Krauss, Markus Kaestner, Eduard Reithmeier

The regeneration of high-priced complex durable products, like turbine blades, reduces the cost of operation and can enhance efficiency. To get the best possible regeneration, the condition of the work piece’s surface and its geometry must be analyzed....
