Abstract
For most of the high-speed hole diameter measuring process, a contact measuring method is undesirable due to its slow and destructive touching process. Thus, an optical method is usually chosen for non-contact measurement. Unfortunately, for most holes in precise manufacturing, especially those with a high aspect ratio, the optical method cannot be used. In our study, we developed a simple and low-cost precision capacitive hole measuring system. By using a simple alignment mechanism, we prove that a high-resolution hole diameter can be achieved. Comparing a traditional measuring method like coordinate measuring machine with our system, over 99% correlation is easily obtained. The paper also presents a multilayer hole measuring probe and sensor probe for non-through-hole measurement.
