10.3.2 Acquiring measuring points using a sensor
In metrology, various optical and tactile sensors are available for measuring point
acquisition. Selecting the appropriate sensor depends on the measuring task.
Supported sensors (software option)
Optical sensors:
OED sensor (Optical Edge Detection): automatic measuring point acquisition via
optical edge detection
Sensor selection criteria
Properties of the measured object (e.g. surface structure, compliance)
Size and arrangement of the features to be measured (e.g. accessibility, shape)
Required measuring accuracy
Available measuring time
Cost-effectiveness
Advantages of optical sensors
Measurement of small geometries
Measurement of compliant workpieces possible (measurement without
contact)
Short measuring times
