  • Publication number: 20170106583
    Abstract: A method for adhesively bonding a first component to a second component, the two components being bonded, for preliminary fixing, with a first adhesive to form a first adhesive bond, and the two components being bonded, for producing an elastic second adhesive bond, with a second adhesive. The first adhesive bond after the second adhesive bond has been cured is stressed in such a way that it is destroyed so the second adhesive bond is elastically deformable unhindered by the first adhesive bond. An assembly produced in such a way is also described.

  • Patent number: 7525666
    Abstract: An interferometric measuring device, especially for measuring the shape of a surface of an object, includes a radiation source emits a short coherent electromagnetic radiation, a component, in particular a beam splitter, to form an object beam that is guided to the object via an object light path, and a reference beam guided to a reference plane via a reference light path, and a pickup element, by the use of which an electromagnetic radiation, that is reflected by the object and the reference plane and brought to interference, is able to be picked up. In this context, an adaptive optical element is provided, with the aid of which the imaging of the object on the pickup element and/or the wave front of the reference beam and/or the optical path length in the reference light path and/or in the object light path may be influenced.

  • Patent number: 7382470
    Abstract: An interferometric measuring device for three-dimensional measurement of shapes on an object to be measured having: a beam splitter receiving via an input light path, and splitting into measuring and reference light paths, light from a light source; an image pick-up, to which light reflected from the object and from a reference and brought into interference can be supplied via an output light path for conversion into electrical signals; an evaluation unit for determining the surface shape from the signals; and an adaptation device adapting the light intensity or interfering light signals. For increased measuring precision, the measuring device is configured to measure planar regions of the surface which extend over at least the measuring device's lateral resolution and the adaptation device is configured for adjusting the intensity of the light and/or the signals by locally varying reflective properties of the surface with respect to the measuring optics.

  • Patent number: 7382467
    Abstract: An interferometric measuring device for measuring the shape or profile of a surface of an object by depth scanning includes a radiation source emitting a short coherent beam, a beam splitter for forming an object beam guided by panorama optics to the object via an object light path and a reference beam guided to a reflecting reference element via a reference light path, and an image pick-up which receives the radiation reflected by the object and the reference element and brought into interference and transmits it to an evaluator for determining the surface shape. An accurate and rapid measurement of surfaces, e.g., in narrow cavities, may be accomplished relatively easily in that a reference surface oriented at an angle to the object surface is formed by the reference element, and the measuring device is configured so that the depth scanning for measuring shape is accomplished by laterally moving the object in relation to the object beam.
