description The aim of the research is to analyze the possibility of the development and realization of a common laser triangulation sensor arrangement-based probe for the measurement of slots and bore sides with the help of a mirror attachment. The analysis shows the feasibility and limits of the solution with respect to the maximum measurement depth and surface distance measurement working range. We propose two possible solutions: one for maximizing the ratio of the measurement depth to the measured bore size and the second for maximizing the total depth, intended for the measurement of slots and large bore sizes. We analyzed measurement error sources. We found that the errors related to the reflection mirror misalignment can be fully compensated. We proved the validity of the proposed solution with the realization of a commercial laser triangulation sensor-based probe and demonstrated a slot side and a bore side surface distance scanning measurement. The probe working range was assessed with regard to the obscuration effect of optical beams.
