Abstract:
An apparatus for non-contact three-dimensional measurement of bodies consisting of a turntable to receive a body and an optical triangulation sensor with at least one radiation source, radiation detector, and an optical system, characterized in that said triangulation sensor (2) is placed above said turntable (1) and is movable along an axis using a driving mechanism so that radiation from the radiation source hits said body, that said body is located on the turntable (1) in a system of coordinates determined, on the one hand, by at least two parallel lines (g1, g2) or body edges with a known spacing (d) and angles (&agr;, &bgr;) of the turntable (1) and, on the other hand, by at least two measuring points at known distances (R1, R2) from a center (M) and known displacement (c) of the triangulation sensor (2) between these measuring points, and that said turntable (1), the driving mechanism and said triangulation sensor (2) are connected to a data processing and control unit.
