WMX series / 3D optical Shaft Measuring Machine-7

3D geometry analysis with matrix camera 3D geometries are measured via scanning using the fully integrated rotation axis. A high density of measurement points is essential for reliable 3D analyses. The matrix camera in WMX offers exactly that. Line camera (conventional measurement devices) − A line camera scans one single circle at each measurement point. − Several circular scans are needed to analyse a shape, e.g. a cylinder. − Localised shape deviations between the circles remain obscured. − An interpolation will not offer any metrical information gain. − Scanning a higher number of circles...
