    Abstract: A system and method of inspecting a plurality of objects using a computed tomography (CT) system is provided. The method includes acquiring an image of a fixture used for holding the plurality of objects with the CT system. A first electronic model of the fixture is generated. The objects are placed in the fixture. An image of the fixture and the objects is acquired with the CT system. A second electronic model of the fixture and the objects is generated. A third electronic model of the objects is defined based at least in part on subtracting the first electronic model from the second electronic model. Dimensions of the objects from the third electronic model are compared with a computer aided design (CAD) model. A report is output based at least in part on the comparison of the objects from the third electronic model with the CAD model.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measuring device includes a cooling fan and an enclosure attached to a projector and a camera. The camera images a pattern of light projected by the projector onto an object to determine 3D coordinates points on the object. A fan draws air through an opening in the front of the enclosure, across a plurality of components in the enclosure and out a second opening in the enclosure.

    Abstract: A portable articulated arm coordinate measurement machine is provided. An articulated arm is provided having a plurality of arm segments. Each arm segment includes an angular encoder for producing a signal corresponding to an angle of rotation. A shaft rotates which about an axis is attached to an inner portion of a first and second bearing. A patterned disk is attached to the shaft. A housing is attached to an outer portion of the first and second bearing. A read head is attached to the housing in proximity to the patterned disk which produces an electrical signal in response to an angle of rotation. The patterned disk and the first arm segment supported for rotation about the axis by only the first and second bearing. A circuit receives the electrical signal and provides an angle and data corresponding to a position of the probe.
