Abstract
A measuring body for an implant, having a measuring geometry that can be captured by a measuring camera and a connection geometry on the implant. Said measuring geometry is arranged on a test part and the connection geometry is arranged on a bearing part, both parts being embodied as separate components. Said bearing part comprises a bearing for the test part and the test part comprises a counter bearing to the bearing and the measuring geometry is provided on a free end of the test part. Also provided is a method for capturing a 3D-measurement drawing of a measuring body that is arranged on an implant.
Claims14
A measuring body for an implant, comprising a measuring geometry detectable by a scanning camera and comprising a connecting geometry for said implant, wherein said measuring geometry is disposed on an inspection part and said connecting geometry is disposed on a supporting member, both of which form separate components, and said supporting member has a bearing for said inspection part and said inspection part has a counter-bearing for said bearing and said measuring geometry is provided at a free end of said inspection part, wherein said bearing and said counter-bearing have an orienting mechanism which ensures precise orientation between the supporting member and the inspection part in a circumferential direction relative to at least one of a longitudinal axis of said bearing and a longitudinal axis of said counter-bearing.
The measuring body for an implant, composed of the inspection part and the supporting member, wherein said inspection part and said supporting member are rigidly interconnected.
A method for generating a measured 3D image of a measuring body disposed on an implant wherein the implant to be used is selected from a number of various types of implants, the method comprising:
- mounting a supporting member matching a type of the implant on said implant;
- mounting a standardized inspection part structurally separate from said supporting member on said supporting member;
- registering a measuring geometry of said inspection part, in mounted state, by means of a scanning camera,
- the supporting member including a bearing for the inspection part and the inspection part including a counter-bearing for the bearing, the bearing and the counter-bearing including an orienting mechanism that ensures precise orientation between the supporting member and the inspection part in a circumferential direction relative to at least one of a longitudinal axis of the supporting member and a longitudinal axis of the inspection part, and the measuring geometry being provided at a free end of the inspection part.
A method for making a measured 3D image of a measuring body disposed on an implant the implant to be used being identified from a number of various types of implants, the method comprising:
- connecting a standardized inspection part to a supporting member matching a type of the implant, the standardized inspection part fabricated separately from the supporting member;
- mounting said measuring body on said implant by means of said supporting member,
- registering a measuring geometry of said inspection part, in mounted state, by means of a scanning camera,
- the supporting member including a bearing for the inspection part and the inspection part including a counter-bearing for the bearing, the bearing and the counter-bearing including an orienting mechanism that ensures precise orientation between the supporting member and the inspection part in a circumferential direction relative to at least one of a longitudinal axis of the supporting member and a longitudinal axis of the inspection part, and the measuring geometry being provided at a free end of the inspection part.
