3D coordinate measuring technology at Impetus
Tactile measuring technology Wenzel LH 65
Impetus Plastics Engineering has invested in a tactile measuring machine for quality control and is expanding its portfolio of measuring services. With the acquisition of an LH 65 3D coordinate measuring machine from the renowned manufacturer Wenzel, complex geometries of plastic components can be recorded and analysed with the highest precision.
Benefits of tactile measurement technology
Tactile measuring technology is based on the point-by-point scanning of the workpiece surface using a mechanical probe. A precise 3D model is created by merging the recorded coordinates of each measuring point.
This model enables the detailed analysis of dimensions, shape deviations, positional relationships and other geometric features by comparing them with the target data from the CAD system. A decisive advantage of tactile measurement technology is its independence from the surface finish, meaning that even reflective, transparent or low-contrast surfaces can be measured without any problems.
