Abstract:
Electronic circuit for dimension-measuring device with magneto-resistive electrodes supplying at least one feed voltage for feeding a network of magneto-resistive electrodes and a measuring circuit comprising two differential inputs connected to the network. The measuring circuit uses a rough counter and a fine interpolation circuit for determining from the two sinusoidal input signals received the position of the sensor along the scale. The feed circuit periodically reduces the supplied electric feed voltage so as to temporarily lessen the dissipation of energy in the magneto-resistive electrodes.
Abstract:
The electronic circuit (3) comprises an electric feed circuit (42) supplying at least one feed voltage (EPEN) intended to feed a network of magnetoresistive electrodes (100) and a measuring circuit (30-39) including two differential inputs (C, C′, S, S′) connected to the network. The measuring circuit uses a rough counter and a fine interpolation circuit to determine the position of the sensor along the scale on the basis of the two sinusoidal input signals received. The feed circuit periodically reduces the electric feed voltage supplied so as temporarily to lessen the dissipation of energy in the magnetoresistive electrodes.

Abstract:
An analogue scanning probe with a connector detachably connectable to a movable support of a coordinate measuring system, the scanning probe including a touch at the tip of a stylus pivotally connected to the scanning probe according to a measure axis and a position encoder delivering a measure of the tilt angle of said touch about said measure axis, the scanning probe including one articulation comprised between said connector and said measure axis arranged to allow tilting of the scanning probe or of a part of the probe scanning probe.
Abstract:
A probe, connectable to a machine tool, has an electric generator and a driving element. The electric generator supplies an electric or electronic circuit with electric power, and the driving element is capable of relative rotation with respect to the stator of the electric generator. The driving element is not connected to any external energy source and can be set in rotation simply by activating the rotary axis of the machine tool. The driving element is either rotatably mounted on the probe itself or fixed on the reference table of the machine tool. The probe requires no additional connections to the machine tool on which it is mounted, besides the connection to the rotary spindle, which can be realized with a conventional tool-holder with a standardized tapered shank. The probe is fully compatible with standard probes and can be mounted and used with standard tool-holders without any adaptation.

Abstract:
A measuring method and system involving a measuring coordinate probe, which can be moved precisely, by appropriate actuators, with respect to a positioning platform (60) on which the probe is mounted; and whose position relative capable to said positioning platform (60) can be measured, by suitable encoders (780). The invention can be carried out with probes, actuators and encoders of different nature. The actuators (730) preferably allow the motion of the probe according to two or more independent degrees of freedom, so that the probe itself can be moved in a plane, or in a three-dimensional region of space, and its orientation can be chosen, within some suitable limits. The method and system of the invention provide very exact local measurement, even if the platform (60) does not deliver the very best precision.

Abstract:
A method for scanning a surface of a workpiece 1 at a constant scanning speed /va/ using a scanning probe 2 mounted on a support 3 on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) 4. The CMM contains a first set of drive means (6, 7, 8) to move the support according to three linear axis (x,y,z), and the support 3 contains a second set of drive means (14, 17) for actuating the movement of the scanning probe 2 with two degrees of freedom relative to said support 3. The method involves control means 33 coupled to the sets of drive means (6, 14, 17), and memory means for storing theoretical profiles and coordinates of the surface to scan.

Abstract:
Tool rack for tools of a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the guiding and retaining surfaces of the tool rack are arranged on two planes offset vertically so as to cause the tool to tilt when it is unhooked. The inventive arrangement allows the mechanical efforts during uncoupling to be reduced appreciably. This reduction is due to the tool tilting and to the residual magnetic force being divided between three retaining point, with a positive effect on the coupling precision and on the tool positioning in the tool rack.
