Optical 3D surface measuring system

特里尔应用科学大学的跨学科工作组《智能复合材料》近年来在这一研究领域创造了广泛的知识基础。在环境保护、能源革命和医疗技术微型化的推动下，来自电气工程、材料科学、光学计量学和机械工程领域的成员正在研究复合材料的多种特性。这些包括天然纤维复合材料、层状金属植入电极以及用于能源和数据传输的电缆。复合材料通过集成新功能和作为与Industry 4.0的接口而变得“智能”。然而，要在Industry 4.0中使用复合材料，不仅必须是智能的，而且最重要的是它们必须是可靠的。这就是工作组正在解决的挑战：工作组最近发表的多物理研究结果可能首次证明电导体的表面粗糙度与其剩余寿命之间存在相关性。基于这些结果，工作组目前正在开发一种跨学科合作的方法，使导体的剩余使用寿命可以在现场测量。在其研究中，工作组已经达到了在各种应用领域中绝对需要对复杂表面进行高精度测量的地步。这只能通过所请求的光学3D表面测量系统来实现。

The interdisciplinary working group "Intelligent Composite Materials" at Trier University of Applied Sciences has created a broad knowledge base in this research field in recent years. Motivated by developments in environmental protection, the energy revolution and the miniaturisation of medical technology, its members from the fields of electrical engineering, materials science, optical metrology and mechanical engineering are investigating the manifold characteristics of composite materials. These include natural fiber composites, laminated metallic implant electrodes and electrical cables used in energy and data transmission. Composite materials become "intelligent" by additionally integrating new functionality and serving as an interface to Industry 4.0.For their use in Industry 4.0, however, the composite materials must not only be intelligent, but above all they must be reliable. This is the challenge the working group is tackling: Recently published multiphysical research results of the working group could for the first time prove a correlation between the surface roughness of an electrical conductor and its remaining lifetime. Based on these results, the working group is currently developing a method in interdisciplinary cooperation to make the remaining service life of conductors measurable in-situ.In its research, the working group has reached a point where high-precision measurements of complex surfaces are absolutely necessary in the various fields of application. This can only be achieved by the requested Optical 3D Surface Measurement System.
