3D measurements

As an accredited testing laboratory we perform 3D measurements using Wenzel LH 108 Standard, a professional measuring device with excellent accuracy, verified by the Czech Metrological Institute. We are able to measure products with the dimensions of up to 1,000 x 1,550 x 800 mm and weight up to 2 200 kg.

3D measurements may be used for:

• mechanical engineering parts (linear dimensions, diameters, spacing, angles, and shape and position deviations)
• generally shaped surfaces as per the CAD model ("step", "igs" and "vda" data format)
• digitisation of shapes and curves
• calculation of dimensional statistics (cm/Cmk, Cp/Cpk, Pp/Ppk)
• Adjustment and calibration of inspection jigs 

How we measure your products on Wenzel LH 108:

Wenzel LH 108 measuring device

• Max. dimensions of the object measured: 1,000 x 1,550 x 800 mm
• Max. weight of measured object: up to 2 200 kg
• Measuring surface, gantry and tailstock sleeve made of granite, which excels in resistance to temperature, thus guaranteeing the same thermal expansion along all the axes
• Calculations performed by Controller WPC 2040 and PH10M measuring head featuring a combined touch-trigger and scanning probe
• Magazine with six positions for different touch-trigger probe assemblies
• Quartis v. R16 measuring software
• Accuracy verified by the Czech Metrology Institute

Measurement process

Measurement is performed by reading the position of the touch-trigger probe in space with reference to the position of the calibration sphere registered in the spatial map of the machine.

Measurement accuracy

MPe = 2 + L/300
L = length of the measured space in millimetres
Result in thousandths of a millimetre
Example: accuracy of 0.005333 millimetre per one metre of measured length

Measurement output

1. jpg, png, gif, pdf - textual or graphic report
2. Excel - including statistics
3. export of measured elements into ACIS(sat), igs, vda
