For the past decade, Kratos SRE has been a leading pioneer in developing precision metrology devices for inspection and characterization of materials for industrial applications, as well as space flight qualification of materials and structures. Methods include automated measurements using optical and LASER triangulation-based sensing techniques; many of these methods have been adapted to unusual environments for real-time analysis of the effects of temperature, humidity, and time on materials and structures.
We have developed unique data reduction algorithms for rapid display and analysis of measurement parameters, particularly in the area of shape factors for quantifying deviations from anticipated geometry. Applications for precision metrology include: environmental effects on dimensional stability; thermal effects on dimensional stability; surface contour profiling; and unique or limited access geometry evaluation.
