Abstract: There is provided a roughness tester that improves measurement efficiency and roughness measurement accuracy.
A roughness tester includes a stylus unit including a stylus that is provided in such a manner as to protrude from and retract into a through hole of a skid and performs scanning movement along a surface of a workpiece, and a stylus displacement detecting unit that detects displacement of the stylus, and a drive unit that moves the stylus unit forward and backward in a drive-axis direction. The roughness tester further includes a height detector that is provided in such a manner as to face a front end face of the main-body housing part, interposing the skid between the height detector and the front end face and that detects a height of an object in a direction parallel with a measurement axis. When the height detector detects the object at the same height of the height of the main-body support foot in the measurement axis direction, the drive unit automatically starts driving in order for the stylus unit to perform scanning measurement of the surface of the workpiece.-

Abstract: The photoelectric rotary encoder includes: a generally disk-shaped scale with a grating-like pattern formed with a predetermined period along a measurement direction, the measurement direction being a direction of rotation of a measurement target that rotates on a predetermined axis, the scale being plate-like and centered on an axis of rotation; and a head that detect, from the scale, the amount of displacement caused by the rotation of the measurement target. The head includes a light source, a diffraction unit with grating parts, and a light-receiving unit with light-receiving elements. The grating parts of the diffraction unit are formed as deformed grating parts that spread cut wide, from the center on the axis of rotation, along the grating-like pattern of the scale. The light-receiving elements are formed as linear grating parts.

Abstract: A measurement X-ray CT apparatus calibrates a geometrical positional relationship between a focus of an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, and a rotation center of a rotating table in advance. The measurement X-ray CT apparatus then obtains projection images by irradiating the object to be measured with X-rays to perform a CT scan, and generates a three-dimensional image of the object to be measured by CT reconstruction of the projection images. The measurement X-ray CT apparatus further includes a reference frame that is made of a material and has a structure less susceptible to environmental changes, and sensors that are located on the reference frame and intended to successively obtain calibration values of the geometrical positional relationship between the focus of the X-ray source and the X-ray detector during the CT scan. The calibration values are used as parameters of the CT reconstruction.

Abstract: An optical encoder includes a scale, a calculator, and a head having a light source, an image capturer, and a lens array having first and second lenses. The calculator includes a signal generator, an extractor, a signal combiner, and a displacement calculator. The signal generator generates a sine wave signal. The extractor extracts first and second regions. The signal combiner, based on an inter-regional distance, uses a sine wave signal of the second region to generate a sine wave signal that extends to a first end of the first region such that the generated sine wave signal overlaps with a sine wave signal of the first region. The signal combiner also combines the sine wave signal of the first region with the generated sine wave signal. The displacement calculator calculates an amount of relative displacement based on the sine wave signal that is combined by the signal combiner.

Abstract: A coupling portion has one end coupleable to a distal end of a measurement spindle. The measurement spindle is disposed on a gauge inspector and movable in a measurement axis direction. A cylindrical stem is insertable into a gauge holding member to hold the inserted stem. The stem slidably holds a spindle having a distal end on which a contact point of a gauge is disposed. A frame has a first end coupled to a second end of the coupling portion and has a second end to which the gauge holding member is mountable. The gauge holding member is held to the frame such that an axis of the stem runs along the measurement axis direction. As a result, inspection is performed easily and accurately in a reverse posture with a contact point facing upward when a gauge is inspected.
