Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a system for measuring an object, the system including a plurality of frame segments. The frame segments are configured to mechanically couple together to form a frame. The plurality of frame segments includes a plurality of measurement device link segments and each of the plurality of measurement device link segments includes a measurement device which together form a plurality of measurement devices having a field of view within or adjacent to the frame. Each of the plurality of measurement devices is operable to measure three-dimensional (3D) coordinates for a plurality of points on the object. The system further includes a computing device to receive data from the plurality of measurement devices via a network established by the plurality of measurement device link segments.

Abstract: A 3D sensor system with a mounting arrangement is provided. The system includes a 3D sensor that measures 3D coordinates of a surface, the 3D sensor having a body with a slot disposed in a side, the slot further having a recess centrally disposed thereon. One or more slot nuts are disposed in the slot. A mounting bracket is provided having a pair of keystone members and a dowel pin disposed therebetween, the keystone members being disposed in the slot and the dowel pin being disposed in the recess, the mounting bracket having a plurality of holes aligned with the slot. One or more fasteners are provided that extend through the plurality holes and engage the one or more slot nuts to couple the mounting bracket to the 3D sensor.

Abstract: Scanning systems and methods for measuring shafts are described. The scanning systems include a support structure and a scanner mounted to the support structure, at least one fixed guide arranged such that the support structure is configured to move along the at least one fixed guide, at least one positional guide arranged such that at least one positional guide is connected to the support structure to guide movement of the scanner along the at least one fixed guide, and an encoder operably coupled to the at least one positional guide and configured to measure, at least, a distance from the encoder to the support structure.

Abstract: An inspection system for measuring an object is provided. The inspection system includes an entryway sized to receive the object. At least two non-contact coordinate measurement devices are positioned with a field of view being at least partially within or adjacent to the entryway, each of the at least two non-contact coordinate measurement devices being operable to measure 3D coordinates for a plurality of points on the object as one of the object or the entryway move from a first position to a final position. A pose measurement device is operable to determine the six-degree of freedom (6DOF) pose of the object. One or more processors are provided that register the 3D coordinates for the plurality of points from each of the at least two non-contact coordinate measurement devices based at least in part on the 6DOF pose of the object.

Abstract: A method for calibration of a system for tracking a measurement system is provided. The method includes recording a path of relative poses that the system is in when acquiring three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of an object by a measurement system. The recording the path includes moving the system sequentially through relative poses between a measurement system and an object, at which the measurement system measures the 3D coordinates and the pose tracking system records a relative pose. The pose manipulation system is caused to move sequentially along the poses in the path, and the measurement system measures the 3D coordinates and applying the recorded poses. The relative pose is calibrated between the tracked manipulated coordinate system and one of a coordinate system of the object and the measurement system. The measured positions are transformed based on the calibrated relative pose and the tracked relative pose into the common coordinate system.

Abstract: A system includes a pose manipulation system operationally that sets a pose of a position measurement system with respect to an object that is to be measured. The system further includes a pose tracking system configured to record a relative pose between a coordinate system associated with the position measurement system and a coordinate system of the object. The pose tracking system records a path along which the position measurement system is enabled to measure 3D coordinates of a surface of a type of an object, wherein recording the path comprises moving the pose manipulation system sequentially through a plurality of poses and recording, at each pose, the relative pose to measure the 3D coordinates. The pose manipulation system follows the path again, and the position measurement system measures the 3D coordinates by applying one or more of the recorded poses.
