| New Application Note: 3D Windscreen Wiper Deformation | |  | | Aug 25, 2005 | | The deformation behavior of a windscreen wiper must be determined at the point of turn over. Both the local displacement normal to the windscreen and the in-plane deformation of the wiper are interesting in order to analyze the impulse of the wiper onto the windscreen and generate enough data to improve the wipers performance. | | | |

| New Publication: Optical Measuring Technologies in Sheet Metal Processing | |  | | May 18, 2005 | | During recent years, optical measuring technologies in sheet metal forming and tooling have been used more and more in the industry. Main applications are the digitizing of metal sheet parts and tools, forming analysis of metal sheets as well as the determination of material properties. Good interfaces to conventional CAD/CAM and numerical simulation systems made such optical measuring systems a part of complex process chains. These process chains mainly focus on optimizing the development of products and production processes and on improving the product quality. Using optical systems considerably decreases the development time for products and production while improving the quality. | | | |

| New Publication: Use of optical measurement techniques in furniture design | |  | | May 04, 2005 | | The process of furniture design can be made much more efficient by use of optical scanning for determining the geometry of a structure, and of optical techniques for deformation measurement of materials and structures loaded in different ways. Optical scanning can substantially reduce the time elapsing between the approval of a prototype and the start of its production. | | | |

| New Application Note: Quality Assurance and Product Definition For the Power Generation Industry | |  | | Feb 21, 2005 | | With the ability of ATOS to accurately measure airfoil contours, leading and trailing edges, root and tip geometry,it provides a more thorough inspection to identify deviations and problems in unexpected areas, trends in part shrinkage, airfoil twist and mold wear. With this newly available information, manufactures are able to reduce their inspection spending and speed up their development. In addition, the production can be controlled to maintain higher accuracy and parts have better quality. | | | |

| New Application Note: TRITOP Deformation in automotive racing | |  | | Feb 02, 2005 | | TRITOP is a high accuracy, non contact, portable optical measurement system for the measurement of 3D coordinates. In addition TRITOP is the perfect tool to measure and visualize movements and deformation caused by mechanical or thermal loading, eg. on Formula 1 race car components. | | | |

| New Publication: Full-field dynamic deformation and strain measurements using high-speed digital cameras | |  | | Jan 07, 2005 | | Digital cameras are rapidly supplanting film, even for very high speed and ultra high-speed applications. The benefits of these cameras, particularly CMOS versions, are well appreciated. This paper describes how a pair of synchronized digital high-speed cameras can provide full-field dynamic deformation, shape and strain information, through a process known as 3D image correlation photogrammetry. The data is equivalent to thousands of non-contact x-y-z extensometers and strain rosettes, as well as instant non-contact CMM shape measurement. A typical data acquisition rate is 27,000 frames per second, with displacement accuracy on the order of 25-50 microns, and strain accuracy of 250-500 microstrain. | | | |
