3D Fiber Probe Project Completion

In November 2008 a meeting took place at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB – National Metrology Institute) between the president of the PTB, the managing director of Werth Messtechnik, and the project teams of both organizations, to conclude the 3D Fiber Probe development project. 10 years of cooperation in the area of microprobes for multisensor coordinate measuring machines were brought to a successful conclusion. In the course of the event, a high-precision VideoCheck multisensor coordinate measuring machine from the Werth company was accepted by the PTB. Both agreed to continue their cooperation in the future. Their emphasis will be on the area of optical 3D sensors for micro-applications, and aspects of multisensors and especially questions of traceability and accuracy will be addressed.
