Equipment

3-D-coordinates measuring machine Fa. Wenzel Typ LH 108 / CNC



Assembling of a ceramic thermal protection system, project X-38

The Institute of Structures and Design holds a CNC controlled coordinates measuring device to survey norm surfaces and freeforms.

The measuring device is used in miscellaneous areas:

  • Final surveyings of mostly ceramic components
  • Surveyings during production in order to determine dimensional change between different manufacturing steps
  • Surveyings during integration in order to locate all components accurately and to determine the actual dimension of all parts
