Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor device for examining the coating of a disc as part of a coating process. The sensor device comprises a first optical sensor system for determining the layer thickness of the coating applied to the disc, and comprises a rotation apparatus. The invention is characterized in that the first optical sensor system is designed to simultaneously identify at least one first position-based measured value and one second position-based measured value, the first and the second position-based measured value describing the distance between the sensor systems and the surface of the disc. As a result of this, the sensor system is configured such that the first position-based measured value of a coated region of the disc and the second position-based measured value of an uncoated region of the disc are identified. Furthermore, the first optical sensor system comprises at least one linear guide, which extends from the central region to the edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for machining a workpiece with a surface, into which a groove structure with grooves and interposed ribs is introduced, wherein undesirable burrs can develop on the groove structure. According to the invention, for testing and determining the formation of burrs a measuring means is provided which emits a light to the surface of the groove structure and receives light reflected from the surface, wherein a degree of the burr formation is determined depending on the reflected light.

Abstract: A test system for examining a hollow body, in particular a cylinder bore in an engine block, comprises a measuring apparatus comprising an elongate body and a plurality of sensors which are connected to the body and are set up to carry out a distance measurement. The test system also comprises electronic control means which are set up to move the measuring apparatus into a hollow body to be examined and to determine an internal diameter of the hollow body on the basis of distance measurement data from the sensors.
