Abstract

APARATO PARA DIGITALIZAR EL CONTORNO DE UNA SUPERFICIE TRIDIMENSIONAL DE UN OBJETO INCLUYE UNA MANIVELA (20), UNA SONDA (26) TRANSPORTADA POR LA MANIVELA (20) Y DESPLAZABLE A LO LARGO DE TRES EJES INDEPENDIENTES PARA CONTACTAR PUNTOS DE MUESTRA EN LA SUPERFICIE TRIDIMENSIONAL, Y UN SENSOR POSICIONAL PARA DETECTAR LA POSICION DE LA MANIVELA (20) A LO LARGO DE LOS TRES EJES Y DAR SALIDA A VALORES POSICIONALES. LA SONDA (26) INCLUYE UN BRAZO (28) DESVIABLE DURANTE EL DESPLAZAMIENTO DE LA SONDA (26), CUYAS DESVIACIONES SON DETECTADAS POR UN SENSOR. UN PROCESADOR DIGITAL PROCESA LOS VALORES POSICIONALES SOLAMENTE CUANDO UNO DE LOS SENSORES DE DESVIACION DETECTA UN DESVIACION EN BRAZO RESPECTIVO SOBRE UN VALOR UMBRAL PREDETERMINADO, Y MODIFICA LOS VALORES POSICIONALES MEDIANTE LOS VALORES DE DESVIACION.
