PolyU’s State Key Laboratory of Ultraprecision Machining Technology was named Winner at the IET Innovation Awards 2017 (manufacturing technology category) with the project “An In-situ Multisensor 3D Metrology System for Precision Manufacturing”.
Led by Prof. Benny Cheung, the research team developed a multi-sensor system for 3D surface measurement to enhance precision manufacturing processes. Consisting of a motion sensor and a laser scanner, this novel system can be integrated into various kinds of machine tools to perform in-situ and in-process high dynamic range 3D surface measurement.
