Abstract:
The measurement of boreholes with diameters smaller than 500 microns is a demanding task, which cannot be coped with state-of-the-art production metrology. Within this paper, the set-up of a miniaturized fiber probe with a diameter of 80 microns is presented. The probe is used for low-coherence interferometry for the highly precise measurement of form deviations of small boreholes. Measurements, which have been conducted in nozzles, are presented. The results prove the potential of the fiber-optical sensor for the quality inspection of high-precision parts such as injection nozzles for common-rail diesel engines.
