    摘要: A measuring device includes a light source that emits light of a plurality of wavelengths, in particular a continuous spectrum, a first confocal diaphragm, through which light from the light source passes, and an optical illuminating/imaging system having a first splitting optical element designed as a prism or grating. The optical illuminating/imaging system, which is designed such that the light enters the first splitting optical element collimated, includes a first lens system having at least one first lens that is spatially separated from the first splitting optical element, the effective focal length of the first lens system being significantly different for different wavelengths, and the optical illuminating/imaging system being designed such that focus points of different wavelengths are formed at different locations along a line segment. The measuring device is configured to measure an object that intersects with the line segment and reflects at least a part of the light.

    摘要: A method for measuring the depth of the vapour cavity during an industrial machining process employs a high-energy beam. An optical measuring beam is directed towards the base of a vapour cavity. An optical coherence tomograph generates interference factors or other raw measurement data from reflections of the measurement beam. An evaluation device generates interference-suppressed measurement data, wherein raw measurement data that is generated at different times is processed together in the course of a mathematical operation. This operation can be a subtraction or a division. Slowly changing interference factors can thus be eliminated. An end value for the distance to the base of the vapour cavity is calculated from the interference-suppressed measurement data using a filter. As a result, the depth of the vapour cavity can be determined, in the knowledge of the distance at a part of the surface of the work piece that is not exposed to the high-energy beam.

    摘要: A distance measuring device comprises a measuring head, the measuring head having an optical measuring system for carrying out an optical measurement process on a measurement object by means of at least one measuring light beam formed from a broad-band measuring light. The measuring head further has a liquid guide with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet for producing a jet of liquid directed at the measurement object, the liquid guide being designed such that in certain sections at least the measuring light beam runs essentially along the jet of liquid. The measuring head further has a flow element with a laminar flow channel, the flow element being designed such that the at least one measuring light beam is able to reach the measurement object by passing through the laminar flow channel.

    摘要: A chromatic confocal measuring device includes a light source, which emits light of a plurality of wavelengths, and a first beam splitter, via which the light from the light source into an imaging optical unit having chromatic aberration on. Light reflected from the measurement object is imaged by the imaging optical unit and the first beam splitter onto a first confocal detection stop arrangement, such that the first confocal detection stop arrangement functions as a confocal aperture. Light incident through the first detection stop arrangement is detected and evaluated by a first detection device. The measuring device has a first slit stop, which functions as a confocal aperture of the measuring device. The measuring device additionally includes a second detection device and a second beam splitter, wherein the second beam splitter splits the light reflected from the measurement object into a first and a second partial beam, which image the same spatial region of the measurement object. The first detection device detects light of the first partial beam by a linear detector and evaluates total intensities over all wavelengths in order to create a total intensity profile and/or a total intensity image therefrom. The second detection device at the same time spectrally splits light of the second partial beam and evaluates intensities of the light of a plurality of individual wavelengths.
