Abstract
Various embodiments may include a measuring device for three-dimensionally sensing elongate cut-outs comprising: an assembly for positioning and fixing on an elongate cut-out of a body; and a 3-D measuring head connectable to the assembly to be aligned with the elongate cut-out for the respective 3-D surface measurement of the elongate cut-out.
Claims8
A measuring device for three-dimensionally sensing elongate cut-outs, the device comprising:
- an assembly for positioning and fixing on an elongate cut-out of a body defining a first longitudinal axis;
- and
- a 3-D measuring head connected to the assembly and movable in relation to the assembly for alignment with the elongate cut-out for the respective 3-D surface measurement of the elongate cut-out;
- the assembly including:
- a clamping device with clamping jaws, wherein each clamping jaw is configured to detachably connect to an end surface of an end face inside the elongate cut-out;
- a plate defining a second cut-out extending along a second longitudinal axis, wherein the second cut-out frames the elongate cut-out when the second longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the first longitudinal axis;
- a centering jaw operable to center the second cut-out in relation to the elongate cut-out.

A method for sensing elongate cut-outs, the method comprising:
- positioning and fixing an assembly on an elongate cut-out of a body, the elongate cut-out defining a first longitudinal axis;
- connecting and aligning a 3-D measuring head with the assembly for a 3-D surface measurement of the elongate cut-out;
- and
- three-dimensionally scanning the surface of the elongate cut-out by guiding the 3-D measuring head along the longitudinal axis of the elongate cut-out;
- wherein the assembly includes:
- a clamping device with clamping jaws, wherein each clamping jaw is configured to detachably connect to an end surface inside an end face of the elongate cut-out;
- a plate defining a second cut-out extending along a second longitudinal axis, wherein the second cut-out frames the elongate cut-out when the second longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the first longitudinal axis;
- and
- a centering jaw operable to center the second cut-out in relation to the elongate cut-out.
