Contents of the lecture

Production metrology plays an essential role in ensuring efficient industrial production. To a certain extent, it represents the sensory organs for quality assurance and automation technology and comprises all activities associated with measuring and testing.

The lecture teaches methods and implementations for measuring and testing in industrial practice. The focus is on geometric properties; most of the concepts presented can also be applied to other properties. Sensor systems for the measurement of geometric properties are presented and discussed with their characteristic properties.

The contents include in detail:

  • Basics of FMT
    • Basic terms, definitions
    • Dimensional standards
    • Measurement uncertainties
  • Measurement technology in operation and in the measuring room
    • Coordinate metrology
    • Form and position metrology
    • Surface and contour metrology
    • Comparators
    • Micro and nano metrology
    • Measuring rooms
  • Production-oriented measurement technology
    • Measuring equipment and gauges
    • Measuring devices
    • Measuring in the machine
    • Visual inspection
    • Statistical process control (SPC)
  • Optical/non-contact measuring methods
    • Integratable optical sensors
    • Stand-alone optical measuring systems
    • Optical 2.5D coordinate measuring technology
    • Optical 3D coordinate metrology
    • Computed tomography
  • Gauge management
    • Controlled inspection processes
    • Inspection planning
