The laser measuring machine is intended for non-contact scanning and inner surface geometry measurement of wheel center bore. The gauge is used on alloy wheel production line as quality control tool.
As a result of measurements the following geometric parameters are obtained:
- inner diameter,
- surface profile,
- roundness.
The device can be adapted for any similar hole (bore) measurement and control task.

Operation of the system is based on the item surface scanning by rotating laser triangulation sensors.
To get required accuracy for the whole measurement range the measuring gauge contains two laser sensors inside one measuring head. The measuring head is mounted on rotational module. The system also contains a calibration ring placed with the possibility of linear translation along the measuring head.
In the initial state, the calibration ring is located at the level of the laser sensors measuring line. Radiation of a semiconductor laser from the sensors is focused onto an ring surface. Radiation reflected by the surface is collected by input lens of the sensors.
Measuring head is rotated and laser sensors scan the inner surface of a ring. The system transmits polar coordinates of the surface (distance from the rotation axis measured by the sensors and a corresponding angle of rotation) to the PC for calculating the required geometric parameters for system calibration.
For the rim center bore diameter measurement, the head is inserted into the hole at a given depth. Simultaneously, calibration ring is removed from measuring line by rim outer surface. Measuring head is rotated and PC receives inner surface coordinates for ID calculation.
