Development of a borescope for 3D scanning

随着制造业的自动化和保持竞争力的必要性，仪器需要不断提高过程的有效性，质量和成本。在汽车和航空航天等行业，精确测量孔是一项重要任务。例如，目前的机身制造生产过程使用机器人进行钻孔和紧固。通常，机器人将在9个孔中钻孔并放置紧固件，然后在不放置紧固件的情况下钻一个孔，然后重复该程序。每钻300个孔，机器人就会停机，让检查员对开孔进行测量。如果一个孔超差，很可能很多孔也超差，都要检查。在机器人上安装一个强大的孔测量系统，可以测量多种孔类型，从而提高了加工效率和可靠性。

With the automation in the manufacturing sector and the necessity to remain competitive, the instrustry needs to constantly improve processes effectiveness, quality and cost. Precise measurement of holes is an important task in industries such as automotive and aerospace. For example, currently a fuselage manufacturing production process uses robotics for drilling and fastening. Typically, the robot will drill and place fasteners in 9 holes, then drill a hole without placing a fastener, and repeat the program. Every 300 holes, the robot is shut down for an inspector to measure the open holes. If a single hole is out-of-tolerance, it is likely that many are also out-of-tolerance, and all have to be inspected. A robust hole measurement system, capable of measuring several hole types, can be put on the robot to measure every hole, thereby increasing the processes efficiency and reliability.
