摘要： A method of aligning a 3D CAD model to a test object in a machine vision system comprising steps of orienting the 3D CAD model in a model window, placing the test object on a motion stage in an orientation approximately matching the orientation of the 3D model, taking a video image of the test object with the video camera and extracting a peripheral boundary in a datum plane normal to the viewing axis of the video camera, extracting a silhouette boundary of the 3D model in a corresponding datum plane, relatively positioning the silhouette boundary of the 3D model to match the peripheral boundary of the test object using a fitting algorithm, and matching coordinates of points in the 3D model to coordinates of corresponding points of the test object referenced within the corresponding datum plane and along the viewing axis.

摘要： A recess or “pocket” is formed in at least one leg of a moving bridge assembly of a coordinate measuring machine, and in a particular embodiment in a primary leg of a moving bridge assembly, to permit a quill to move farther in the X direction to an end of a planar base surface of the coordinate measuring machine adjacent the leg without interfering with the leg. The recess formed in the leg of the moving bridge assembly permits coordinate measurements of a part whose width covers the full area of the planar surface of the base, without necessarily adding significant cost or increasing the footprint of the measurement system.

摘要： An optical pen for an optical measurement system includes a probe body arranged to be adjustably mounted in a measuring machine for optically measuring a test object. A single mode fiber optically coupled within the pen body transmits a source beam having an instantaneous or sequentially established bandwidth spanning a range of wavelengths to the pen body and also transmits a measurement beam from the pen body toward a detector. A combination and configuration of optics within the pen body provides a more compact and efficient optical pen.

摘要： Measurement routines are established for automating multi-sensor measuring machines. Selections of feature types, sensor types, and closest points on computer models information is processed for distinguishing whether the features intended for measurement lie on a boundary or on a surface of the part to be measured. Interactions through a graphical user interface to a code-generating computer allow for the selections to be made and corresponding measurement instructions to be generated.

摘要： A probe deployment mechanism of a coordinate measuring machine provides for extending and retracting a probe. The probe is displaceable with respect to the actuator body connected to the measuring machine. A locator coupling secures the probe to the actuator body at the extended position for taking measurements. A drive coupled to the probe displaces the probe between the extended and retracted positions but at the extended position, the drive is releasable from the probe for kinetically isolating the locator coupling.

摘要： An illumination system shares portions of an objective of an optical inspection system. A plurality of beam-shaping optics collects light from a plurality of effective light sources and directs the light through a portion of the objective for illuminating an object under inspection. The objective includes a front relay lens, a rear relay lens, and an objective stop disposed between the front and rear relay lenses for collecting light scattered from the object and forming an image of the object with the collected light. The beam-shaping optics, which surround the objective stop, are arranged together with the associated effective light sources for non-uniformly distributing light within a range of angles required for illuminating the object.

摘要： Measurement data collected within a measurement frame of reference is fitted to geometric tolerance zones having regard for the uncertainties of the measurement. Geometric freedoms for fitting the measurement data are exploited to fit uncertainty zones associated with the measurement data within the tolerance zones. Typically, the measurement data is multidimensional and the uncertainty zones have different sizes.

摘要： An illumination system using, in place of a more typical beam splitter, two right angle triangular prisms that are aligned to each other along their respective hypotenuses to form a cube, but without any reflective materials being used at their interface, and with the two halves separated by some distance so as to create an open/air gap between the two halves. When the upper/lower cube faces are normal to an optical axis of the illumination system, the cube structure reflects virtually all of the illumination from a transverse illumination source using total internal reflection so that said illumination is reflected out of the cube along the system's optical axis. However, rotating the cube structure past the critical angle eliminates total internal reflection and allows the cube to transmit almost all illumination entering the cube out of the cube parallel to the system's optical axis.

摘要： A method of forming a combined feature boundary based on boundaries of first and second overlapping features includes dividing the boundaries of the first and second overlapping features into line segments of known shape, identifying crossing points formed by the line segments, calculating parametric coordinates of the crossing points, and determining a sequence of crossing point evaluation based on the parametric coordinates. The method also includes calculating a first cross product based on the line segments forming a first crossing point in the determined sequence, and choosing a first path of the combined feature boundary according to a mathematical sign of the first cross product, the first path extending from the first crossing point to the second crossing point in the determined sequence. The method further includes calculating a second cross product based on the line segments forming a second crossing point in the sequence, and choosing a second path of the combined feature boundary extending from the second crossing point according to a mathematical sign of the second cross product, wherein the combined feature boundary includes the first and second crossing points and portions of at least one of the first and second feature boundaries defining the first and second paths.
