Abstract

Increasing manufacturing accuracy requirements enforce the development of innovative and highly sensitive measuring tools. Fiber probes combine classical tactile measurement with optical read out. These probes allow extremely small contact force and reach measurement uncertainties better than a micrometer. To even further reduce these values, a new measuring principle based on interferometry is being developed.
