Period of the project
Start: Juni 2013
End: Mai 2016
Description of the project
The main goal of the project is achieving accurate and traceable multi-sensor measurements of microparts with tactile micro probes, optical sensors and industrial computed tomography and their application in industry.
The main activities are:
- Realization of tactile probes with very small probing elements (∅ < 100 µm)
- Reduction of the measurement errors of tactile microprobes, e.g. by area-wise determination of the form deviations of the probing element
- Reduction of the measurement errors of optical sensors and CT, e.g. correction of systematic errors by numerical modeling and optimization of measurement parameters
- Evaluation of the object-sensor interaction
- Development of procedures to ensure the traceability of the measurement results to the SI base unit meter by numerical simulations and workpiece-like reference standards
- Intelligent data filtering to reduce the size of data sets and the measurement errors
- Procedures for automated fusion of data sets
- Demonstration of the project results on important industrial measurement tasks
The three-year project is funded by the European Union within the framework of the „European Metrology Research Programme“ (EMRP) and coordinated by PTB.
