A system for burr measurement is developed to measure the geometry of the burr formed in metal cutting or shearing operations. laser system is selected according to the required measuring accuracy and burr size. A specific program for calculating the burr geometry from measured laser data is developed. The raw data is obtained by scanning cross the burr. The height and width of burr are calculated. Due to the specific characteristic of laser peak or valley are formed in measuring sharp edges or small sharp cracks. Compensation for the peak or valley is carried out to make it possible to calculate the burr, burr geometry is measured in 3 dimension.
