High-Resolution Laser Scanning for Three-Dimensional Inspection of Drilling Tools

Abstract

A high-resolution vision system for the inspection of drilling tools is presented. A triangulation-based laser scanner is used to extract a three-dimensional model of the target aimed to the fast detection and characterization of surface defects. The use of two orthogonal calibrated handlings allows the achievement of precisions of the order of few microns in the whole testing volume and the prevention of self-occlusions induced on the undercut surfaces of the tool. Point cloud registration is also derived analytically to increase to strength of the measurement scheme, whereas proper filters are used to delete samples whose quality is below a reference threshold. Experimental tests are performed on calibrated spheres and different-sized tools, proving the capability of the presented setup to entirely reconstruct complex targets with maximum absolute errors between the estimated distances and the corresponding nominal values below 12 mu m.
