  • Apparatus and method for measuring structural parts
    Patent number: 7605929
    Abstract: This present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring structural parts which includes a measuring system having at least two sensors for optoelectronic scanning of such a structural part wherein said part and said sensors are movable relatively to each other along a shifting path and wherein said sensors are provided with a radiation source directed to a surface of the structural part and with a receiver, characterized by the fact that at least one sensor is an area sensor adapted to scan one surface section of the structural part (2) in each measuring time interval and/or that at least one sensor is a line sensor adapted to detect one profile line of said structural part in each measuring interval.
