  • Measurement method and device for determining the position of a profile component applied to a shell component
    Patent number: 9242742
    Abstract: A measurement method for determining the position of an omega profile component placed on a shell component of an aircraft, in which the ACTUAL position of the omega profile component relative to the shell component is optically acquired in a contactless manner, so as to subsequently compare the latter with a defined DESIRED position, wherein several adjacently spaced apart measuring points are established at two mutually opposing flank sides of the profile cross section of the omega profile component, through which a regression line is run according to the path measurement principle based on coordinates, whose point of intersection is drawn upon to determine the orthogonal position of the omega profile component relative to the shell component.
