A surface texture measuring machine includes: a stage, a contact-type detector having a stylus, an image probe, a relative movement mechanism and a controller. The controller includes: a center position calculating unit that, when the image probe enters position data of at least three points on a circular contour of a circular concave portion or a circular convex portion of an object, approximates the entered position data to a circle to obtain a center position of the circle; and a stylus setting unit that, after calculating the center position, operates the relative movement mechanism to position the stylus of the contact-type detector at the center position.

There are provided a measuring method and a measuring system which enable creation of a measurement route with ease to thereby enable three-dimensional measurement to be quickly performed even if an object to be measured has a complicated shape or configuration. An object to be measured is shot. A plurality of images obtained by the shooting are combined together to generate a combined image of the object. A measuring region of the generated combined image is designated. A measurement path measuring program is created by inputting parameters for creating a measurement path. The designated measuring region is measured along the measurement path according to the created measurement path measuring program.

An image measuring method comprises making no stop of an imaging means relative to a measurement stage at measurement positions (MP1-MP3), and capturing instantaneous images to acquire information required for measurement. A first direction to a measurement position (MP1) to be measured next and a second direction from the measurement position (MP1) to a next measurement position (MP2) form an angle therebetween. If this angle exceeds a certain angle, an overshoot path is formed at a location beyond the measurement position (MP1) in the first direction. The larger the angle formed between the first direction and the second direction, the lower the measurement speed at the measurement position (MP1) is made.

An apparatus and program is provided for efficiently generating a part program for image measuring apparatus, conveniently usable for the operator without complicated operations. CAD data of a work is displayed and a target graphic is selected from the CAD data. A detection position mark is displayed on the selected graphic. The CAD data is displayed at a certain magnification that allows the position of the selected target graphic to be identified relative to the entire of the CAD data. In this state, a detection position mark is displayed in the vicinity of the target graphic, and the operator determines the location of the detection position mark.

A power-assist device for an automotive steering system employs an easy-to-assemble hydraulic pressure control valve to compensate for differential forces on opposite sides of an actuating piston in an unbalanced hydraulic cylinder. The piston divides the cylinder into first and second working chambers which are each connected to a hydraulic pump and a return reservoir via first and second spool valves, respectively. The spool valves are actuated axially by a torsion bar connected to the stub shaft of the steering column, so that they reciprocate axially within bores through the valve body as the steering wheel is turned back and forth. Lands on the spool valves oppose slightly larger lands the bores to define orifices which control the rates of hydraulic supply and drain to and from the working chambers of the cylinder. The cross-sections of the orifices change as the spool valves reciprocate and the first-chamber supply and second-chamber drain orifices are larger than the others due to the increased internal diameters of the corresponding bore lands. This boosts the hydraulic pressure in the first working chamber in order to compensate for its reduced effective piston area, which is due to the effect of a piston rod connecting the piston to wheel-orientation control mechanisms. The first and second spool valves are identical; the bores are contoured differentially to provide the necessary dimensional differences among the control orifices.

A steering control system for a vehicle is provided. This system includes a front power cylinder which provides steering assistance for front wheels and a rear power cylinder which provides steering assistance for rear wheels. The system further includes a single hydraulic pump which provides a pressurized hydraulic fluid to the front and rear power cylinders and a flow dividing valve which controls a supply rate of the pressurized hydraulic fluid to the front and rear power cylinders based on vehicle speed to steer the front and rear wheels with a preselected steering angle relationship.

In this machine and method for measuring a plurality of workpieces, images of a plurality of workpieces placed on a stage are captured using a CCD camera. The images are processed by a computer system whereby the workpieces are measured. A computer system divides a measurement area on the stage into matrix such that each cell in the matrix is correlated to each workpiece. Then, the system sets a measurement program for each cell. Using the cells, the computer system determines a measurement order and whether or not to execute measurement. Measurement data for each cell is output to a CRT.
