Abstract

A system includes a laser-line imaging subsystem to measure a feature. The laser-line imaging subsystem includes a laser to project a laser-line, and a digital video camera mounted at an angle with respect to an axis of said laser to obtain an optical image of the laser-line. A control subsystem is operable to compute three-dimensional coordinate points via triangulation of an intersection between the laser-line and the optical image of the laser-line, the three-dimensional coordinate points data used by the control subsystem to calculate predictive airflow through the workpiece with respect to the volume of the machined holes.
