out by the user n while saving time furthermore the system 1 makes it possible that a measurement computer does not have to be placed in immediate proximity to the inspection station so that the flexibility can be increased further in this way in one possible embodiment of the system 1 as represented in fig1 the thermographic measuring process is an active thermographic measuring process in which energy is introduced into the inspection article 2 by an external energy source the inspection article 2 radiating the introduced energy as heat and the radiated heat being recorded by the thermal imaging camera 6 by sensing as an alternative the thermographic measuring process may also be a passive thermographic measuring process in which the inspection article 2 itself has an internal energy source the energy of which the inspection article 2 radiates as heat the radiated heat is again recorded by the thermal imaging camera 6 by sensing the thermal imaging camera 6 generating a corresponding thermographic thermal image twb of the inspection article 2 and sending this to the controller 4 the generated thermographic thermal image twb may subsequently be projected as a thermographic measurement result me by the image projector 5 directly onto the surface of the inspection article 2 in a way which is visible to the user n in another possible embodiment of the system 1 a movement and or an orientation of the depth sensor 3 and or of the thermal imaging camera 6 is also controlled by the controller 4 as a function of a body.
