Optical interior wall measurement of bore holes
boreCONTROL is designed for the inspection of small bore holes from ø4 mm. The measurement system consists of a sensor with integrated rotary drive, a motor controller, a sensor controller and an exchangeable sensor lance. boreCONTROL is based on confocal chromatic sensor technology. The rotating sensor lance enables a circular measurement. The system provides non-contact diameter measurements in bore holes and cavities.
- Available measuring ranges: 4 - 10 / 8 - 12.8 / 10 - 16mm
- Large measuring ranges
- Measures even in difficult-to-access places
- Measurement of a wide variety of materials, also sensitive surfaces
- Short measurement cycles due to ag8亚游集团 sampling rate
- Confocal chromatic distance measurement and surface inspection using intensity measurement
- ag8亚游集团 repeatability and accuracy
- Optical temperature compensation
Measuring principle
The confocal chromatic measuring principle offers the following advantages:
- Non-contact measurement with small light spot
- ag8亚游集团 resolution in radial & axial direction
- ag8亚游集团 dynamics (sampling rate up to 25kHz)
- Applicable on many materials
Applications
- Measurement of rivet holes in aircraft construction
- Surface assessment & defect detection
- For numerous applications in the automotive industry, aircraft industry, medical engineering and in machine building
System components
The boreCONTROL system consists of a rotating unit with exchangeable sensor lance, motor controller and sensor controller. The rotary drive is operated by the motor controller. The sensor controller serves for set-up and signal processing. Via the Ethernet interface of the controller, boreCONTROL provides a data package with distance, angle and intensity figures. For customer software development, a SDK is included. The system components are matched individually according to the customer’s requirements.
Customer software integration
The boreCONTROL.dll Dynamic Link Library included in the SDK enables to control the measurement system. The library file supports reading the sensor data, setting the sensor parameters as well as acquiring and processing the measured values. In order to enable the use of DII with as many different development environments and compilers as possible, the DII interface is based on mere C functions of the »stdcall« calling convention. Therefore, the interface can also be used with C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, Python and other programming languages.
