Abstract

A measuring unit for determining dimensions of workpieces has an endoscope unit with two apertures through which identical linear light patterns are projected onto a surface of the workpiece. The identical linear light patterns create a moire pattern on the surface. The endoscope unit has at least one camera head for detecting the moire pattern.
