Benchmarking of automatic non-contact measurement techniques

© Fraunhofer IPT

Which non-contact metrology solutions can be used for fast and automatic quality inspection?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Turbomachinery components require precise surface quality for optimal performance and longevity.
  • Defects or roughness directly affect the quality.
  • Current inspection methods are time-consuming and often rely on manual or contact techniques.

Objective

  • Benchmarking of different non-contact metrology technologies for maturity assessment, automation possibilities, cost and accuracy criteria.
