Title: Rupert Fehr - Innovator in Optical Measurement Technology
Introduction
Rupert Fehr is a notable inventor based in Munich, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical measurement technology. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique method for measuring the thickness of hot glass bodies without direct contact.
Latest Patents
Rupert Fehr holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for contactless optical measurement of the thickness of a hot glass body by optical dispersion." This method utilizes chromatic aberration to measure the thickness of a hot glass body. The process involves focusing a light beam from a light source onto the hot glass body using a focusing device immediately after formation. Reflected light from the glass body is then conducted into a spectrometer to obtain a reflected light spectrum. The invention identifies two wavelengths of the reflected light from the front and rear sides of the glass body, respectively, at which the reflected light intensities are maximum. The thickness of the glass body is determined from the difference between these two wavelengths. Additionally, the focusing device is maintained at a temperature below 120°C during the measurement, with measures taken to prevent heat radiation from reaching the focusing device using at least one heat-blocking filter. Rupert Fehr has 1 patent to his name.
