Laser triangulation is a non-contact measurement system, which can determine the distance of a point on the surface of an object from a reference plane [1]. Usually a laser is used, and directed at the workpiece (Figure 1). At the point where the light hits the workpiece, the light is scattered, and the scattered light is recorded by a detector. The position of the lightpoint detected is a measurement of the test object's position. This method is similar to mechanical point contact, for example with a measuring gauge or a vernier gauge. Today, LTSs have been tested in practice and are offered by several suppliers in various models.
Abstract. Today manufacturing industry is based on multiple suppliers located in different countries and continents, intensively using automation, data exchange and advanced manufacturing technologies embedded in the digital era, and a number of national and international initiatives (e.g. Industrie 4.0) are devoted to support this effort. New opportunities to advance manufacturing of high value products are based on innovating the measuring technologies and procedures for Geometrical Quality Control, in particular addressing the training needs since having well trained professionals is an important key of success for manufacturing companies in several sectors. The paper is summarising recent experience in the field, with quantification of learning success related to the implementation of remote workshops.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
