The basic equipment of most optical and multi-sensor coordinate measuring machines
Compared to other sensors, measurement with image processing usually leads to much shorter measurement times and can therefore be used for a wide variety of applications. Many measurement points are captured quickly or even simultaneously.
• Fast detection of multiple geometric elements and freeforms in the measuring window through intelligent contour image processing
• Reliable edge detection even with minimal contrast thanks to image, contour and element filters
• Patented raster scanning HD generates an overall image of the workpiece while the device axes are moving, independent of the sensor's field of view
• Automatic adjustment of light intensity for changing surface properties and colours
• Standardisation of illumination characteristics for easy exchange of control files from different optical coordinate measuring machines possible
• Special solutions are offered by Werth Zoom and MultiRing® with variable working distance and illumination angle
