  • Sensor device and method of inspecting the surface of a cylindrical hollow enclosure
    Patent number: 10551176
    Abstract: A sensor device for the inspection of the surface of a cylindrical hollow enclosure having at least one sensor unit set up for an optical confocal distance measurement. The at least one sensor unit has an elongated shape and exhibits an external optical system, through which a measurement device in which light can be emitted and received, is disposed transversely to a longitudinal axis of this sensor unit. The sensor device additionally comprises a movement mechanism, which is adapted to move the at least one sensor unit in one direction of motion into and out of a cylindrical hollow enclosure to be inspected.
