摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for checking or determining the installation air slot between an active sensor and an encoder, wherein the maximum size of the air slot (maximum air slot) which still ensures trouble-free operation of the sensor depends on the level of the supply voltage of the sensor at least within a range of said supply voltage, and which is more particularly characterized by the following method steps: reducing the supply voltage of the sensor to at least one value by which the maximum air slot is each time decreased by a desired test measure, and comparing the at least one test measure with a desired difference between the maximum air slot and the existing air slot by sensing a variation of the sensor output signal by the reduction of the supply voltage, as well as evaluating the comparison result by signaling and/or storing. A corresponding device is also described.

A carrier platform transports motor vehicles to be manufactured through assembly, test and other work stations. The platform remains with the motor vehicle at the assembly, test or other work stations and enables free access to the underside of the floor-pan of the vehicle and to the contact areas of its wheels for checking and measuring loads that actually occur at these areas. Support plates on the platform for the wheels of the vehicle are fashioned so as to simultaneously function as safety devices during the testing procedure. When horizontally positioned the support plates engagingly support the four wheels of the vehicle. During certain tests these support plates are vertically positioned and function as safety devices.
