The system proposed in this paper for correcting the stand-off parameter is based on a chromatic confocal sensor integrated into a laser head. Then, the spectral signal acquired from the measurement system is processed by using the developed application to compensate for the movement of an additional axis of the kinematic system. This study used an independent verification system based on the digital image correlation method. The validation tests were carried out using the system for correcting the stand-off parameter with different control algorithms and given motion trajectories and substrate materials. The results demonstrate that the developed system can be useful for laser metal deposition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23167120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]],"date-time":"2023-08-11T12:10:23Z","timestamp":1691755823000},"page":"7120","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Online Correction of Laser Head Nozzle Position for Laser Metal Deposition Using a Chromatic Confocal Displacement System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6270-4167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Koruba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laser Technologies, Automation and Production Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (WUST), Wyb.
