TCal: Contribution to metrology for Industry 4.0

Abstract

Touchless Calibration (TCal) is introduced as a future development in calibration metrology. TCal is dealing mostly with decreasing the steps necessary to provide calibration traceability. Missing steps actually contribute to considerable decreasing of time and costs of calibration keeping the calibration traceability on high level. In the scope of Metrology for Industry 4.0, it could be one of the important improvements bringing increased effectiveness and efficiency for manufacturing industry. In this paper, the detailed explanation of overall process is provided.
