Development of a Portable 3D Non-Contact Measurement System for Industry Application

This paper presents the development of a 3-D measurement system capable of measuring free-form surfaces through the combination of a light sheet optical sensor and a mechanical arm.

It includes a basic description of the equipment used in this work, focusing on the methodology and procedures which allow both systems be integrated. Notes about the dedicated software that determines the relative position and orientation of the light sheet sensor to the mechanical arm coordinate system are also presented.

Finally, the paper presents some results obtained trough the integrated system use, emphasizing its potential industry application.
