Many forming manufacturing processes require further analysis in addition to existing knowledge. Optical 3D surface measurement enables the inspection of shape and dimensions of forming tools. But also dynamic processes have a great effect on the quality of the finished parts when forming with machine tools. These can be effectively analyzed as well using non-contact 3D deformationmeasurement. The PONTOS stereo camera system for optical dynamic 3D analysis can show a possible deflection of guides and drives as well as centering, angular positions and machine stiffness. By subsequent optimization tool service life can be increased and the costs of manufacturing processes reduced. |
