Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Victoria, Victoria, Canada, CA aut Automated Surface Roughness Measurement [Elektronische Daten] [C. Bradley] A non-contact roughness sensor is described that is suited for integration with a computer-controlled coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The sensor employs a fibre optic interferometer, electronic control system and data-processing software. The combination of the sensor and computer controlled CMM allows surface texture assessment to be made during scheduled dimensional inspections of complex curved surface components, such as turbine blades. The sensor system will measure surface roughness parameters, for example Ra, using a method that reflects standard procedures. The lightweight sensor head can be mounted on a touch probe arm and the associated articulated mounting head; this combination gives quasi 5-axis positioning ability to the overall sensor. This is suitable for automated surface finish inspection of compound curved surface blades. The sensor and its control unit are integrated with the CMM controller and its operation can be controlled through standard part-program commands used by the CMM.: Springer-Verlag London Limited, 2000 Keywords: Automated inspection nationallicence Coordinate measuring machine nationallicence Fibre optic sensor nationallicence Surface texture nationallicence https://doi.org/10.1007/s001700070037 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s001700070037 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Bradley C.
