摘要:
An apparatus for checking thickness dimensions in a semiconductor wafer (1) during grinding operations includes an optical probe (3) which transmits infrared radiations on the surface (2) being machined of the wafer (1), and detects beams that are reflected by said surface, by an opposite surface (2′) of the wafer and/or by surfaces (2″, 2′″) separating different layers in the wafer. The beam of emitted and reflected radiations travels along a path (4) with known and constant discontinuities, in part through the air (15) and in part through a cushion (30) of low flow liquid, which flows with substantially laminar flow. A support and positioning element (7) for the optical probe includes hydraulic ducts (22,25) that generate the liquid cushion. A method for checking the thickness dimensions includes the generation of the liquid cushion at the path along which the beam of emitted and reflected radiations travels.

A gauge (1) for checking radial dimensions of a workpiece (60), e.g. the diameter of a crankpin orbitally rotating during grinding operations, includes a casing, a V-shaped reference device (4) and a rod that can move within the casing (2) with respect to the reference device, an end of the rod projecting from the casing and carrying a feeler (20) for touching the surface of the workpiece to be checked and transmitting the movements of the feeler to a transducer (22). A sealing system for preventing coolant, dust or other foreign matter from getting inside the casing includes a pneumatic conduit (6) for allowing compressed air to be blown from inside the casing to outside, and an internal seal that—in the non-operative condition—seals the opening through which the rod projects from the casing. According to an advantageous embodiment, the seal is fastened into a bushing guiding the rod and cooperates with a surface of the rod in order to get the tightness.

A gauging head includes a substantially closed casing, a movable arm with a first portion, partly located inside the casing and associated with a position transducer, and a second portion, outside the casing, carrying a feeler for contacting a piece to be checked, and a zero-setting mechanism for adapting the head to check pieces with different nominal dimensions. The zero-setting mechanism, located outside the casing, includes a quick locking/unlocking device between the first and second portions of the arm and a movable mechanical reference coupled with the first portion of the arm and including a reference surface cooperating with a corresponding reference surface for holding the first portion of the arm in a preset position with respect to the casing. The quick locking/unlocking device and the movable mechanical reference are operated together for unlocking the coupling between the portions of the arm and concurrently hold the preset position, and for locking together the two portions and concurrently release the arm.

An apparatus for checking the integrity of tools includes an optoelectronic system (7) with a laser beam (21), a base (6) movable along a longitudinal direction (X) for enabling displacements between tool and optoelectronic system and a device for checking the mutual position including, for example, a transducer (9,10). A sensor (22) of the optoelectronic system detects the interruption of the beam and, on the basis of the transducer signal at said interruption and on the comparison with a known value, the integrity of the tool is determined. A coupling mechanism (24) of the optoelectronic system coupled at the base enables oscillations of the former along a transversal reference surface, that define a sensitive delimited area (33). The oscillations are controlled by means of a motor (26) and interruptions of the beam are detected and signalled by the sensor the moment that the end of the tool interferes with the sensitive delimited area.

An apparatus and a relevant method for checking a crankpin (18) of a crankshaft (34) positioned on a numerical control grinding machine where it is worked includes a gauging head (39) with a Vee-shaped reference device (20) and a feeler (17), axially movable along a translation direction, that touches the crankpin surface, and an articulated support device (5,9,12) connected to the grinding-wheel slide (1), carrying the guaging head and allowing the reference device (20) to keep contact with the crankpin during its orbital motion around the main rotation axis (0) of the crankshaft. Rough values corresponding to a transducer (41) signals provided at predetermined angular positions of the crankshaft are stored and are processed also to compensate alterations caused both by contact between the sides of the Vee-shaped reference device and the surface of the crankpin to be checked, and by variations of the angular arrangement of the Vee-shaped reference device in the course of orbital rotations of the pin.

An apparatus for checking the diameter of crankpins of a crankshaft in the course of the machining in a grinding machine includes a Vee-shaped reference device, a measuring device associated with the reference device and including a feeler axially movable along the bisecting line of the Vee-shaped reference device, and a support device with a first arm rotating with respect to a support arranged on the grinding-wheel slide and a second arm rotating with respect to the first and carrying the Vee-shaped reference device. A guiding mechanism includes a limiting device, with mutually abutting surfaces and coupled to the support device, that guides the displacement of the reference device along a trajectory substantially parallel to the profile of the grinding wheel, allows the engagement of the reference device on a crankpin to be checked while the latter is orbitally moving, and does not interfere with the displacements of the support device caused by the orbital motion of the crankpin in the checking condition.

A gauge for the dimensional checking of mechanical pieces comprises an outer casing, an armset fixed to the casing and having a gauging arm movable along two opposite directions, a feeler carried by the gauging arm for contacting the piece to be checked, a limiting device for adjustably limiting the displacements of the gauging arm along the directions, a spring cooperating with the gauging arm for urging the feeler against the piece, and a device for adjusting the force applied by the spring. The limiting device includes a member, fixed to the casing, which defines a first abutment surface for limiting the displacements of the gauging arm along one of the directions, and a screw passing through the hole of the gauging arm. The screw is coupled to the member and defines a second abutment surface, adjustable with respect to the first abutment surface. The device for adjusting the force applied by the spring has a movable element cooperating with the member for permitting adjustment of the force applied by the spring while preventing torsion of the spring.
