Abstract
A drilling burr profile measurement method has been presented in this paper. The measurement method is based on image processing techniques. A measurement system ; consisting of a measurement instrument and software ; has been developed. Using the system, four side images of measured burr profile are projected by four prism mirrors located around the burr. Consequently, images of top and four sides of the burr can be simultaneously taken by CCD camera located right above the burr. Burr thickness and height are calculated from taken image using developed software. The measurement accuracy by the system is examined using simple geometry objects. Measurement tests of drilling burr have been made and drilling burr thickness and burr height have been obtained.
