摘要:
An angle measuring device which includes a graduated disc and a stator is mounted to an external drive unit which includes a drive shaft and an attachment surface. The graduated disc is fixedly mounted to the drive shaft such that it is the drive shaft which guides the movement of the disc. The stator is mounted directly to the attachment surface such that the stator does not guide the movement of the graduated disc. In order to align the stator properly with respect to the drive shaft and the graduated disc, a centering collar is provided on the attachment surface, concentric with the drive shaft. The centering collar interacts with at least two alignment surfaces defined by the stator. These alignment surfaces are positioned to define the desired orientation of the stator with respect to the drive shaft.

A distance measuring instrument comprising a source of coherent light and a receiver is disclosed which may be used to measure the one dimensional position of an object surface. Coherent light is directed at a predetermined angle onto the object surface and the angle at which diffusely reflected light from this surface enters the receiver is measured. This entrance angle is measured with a photosensor and a movable aperture formed by the intersection of a fixedly mounted diaphragm and a movably mounted diaphragm. By measuring the position of the movably mounted diaphragm when the movable aperture is placed so as to allow reflected light to pass from the illuminated surface to the photosensor, the entrance angle of the reflected light and hence the position of the object is determined.
摘要:
A displacement measuring system for measuring relative displacements between two members. The second member is free to move relative to the first member along a main guide. The first member has a scale element which tracks the main guide. The second member is coupled to a scanner which moves along its own guide (which may be constituted by the scale element itself) scanning the scale element to provide a measure of the relative displacement. The coupling is flexible in directions at right angles to the direction of relative displacement in order to compensate for tracking errors between the main guide and the scale.An embodiment in which the scale is located off the neutral axis of the scale element the coupling is flexible in a first plane on the level of the neutral axis and in a second plane which includes the longitudinal central axis of the scale and is at right angles to the first plane.

A longitudinal measuring instrument, preferably with digital path coverage, which is constructed according to the Abbe principle. The measuring instrument includes a stationary scale, a displaceably mounted scanning unit for scanning the scale, and a measuring spindle sleeve mounted on the scanning unit, said measuring spindle comprising at least two bars which surround the scale.

A method and apparatus for the compensation of guiding errors in an incremental measuring instrument used in conjunction with machine tools or measuring machines is disclosed in which the measuring graduation is corrected in its mounting position in accordance with the error values of the machine. A preferred embodiment of this method is disclosed in which the error compensation is accomplished by the application of equal longitudinal compression or extension forces to the ends of the measuring graduation.

A laser interferometer is disclosed in which the measuring path is enclosed in an elongated hollow body which has a flexible slot along one side through which extends the entrainment means for the movable reflector enclosed within the hollow body. This hollow body is maintained under a vacuum, with the area around the flexible slot being filled with a fluid to help maintain the vacuum. This fluid may be highly viscous oil or a magnetic fluid which is maintained by the magnetic field of permanent magnets.

A position measuring device for measuring the relative position of two objects (01, 02) comprising a graduation (Ta) in a graduation plane (TFa) of the graduation carrier (TTa) which is connected to one of the objects (01). The object (01) is scanned by a scanning unit (A) which is connected to the other object (02) by means of a carrier (MT). Between the carrier (MT) and the scanning unit (A), a coupling link (K), preferably in the form of a leaf spring, is aligned in the direction of measurement X. This spring has only one rotational degree of freedom in a direction perpendicular to the graduation surface (TFa) of the graduation carrier (TTa). A guide mechanism (F) comprises a guide element (FE) which guides the scanning unit (A) in a direction parallel to the direction of measurement X on a guide surface (FFa) of the graduation carrier (TTa). The guide surface (FFa) is perpendicular to the graduation surface (TFa) of the graduation carrier (TTa). The guide mechanism (F) further comprises a guide joint (FG) for connecting the scanning unit (A) with the guide element (FE). The guide joint (FG) possesses at least one translational degree of freedom perpendicular to the direction of measurement X.
摘要:
A multistage angle encoder includes a fine code disc which is connected via a reducing gear with at least one coarse code disc. In order unambiguously to allocate the coarse code information on the coarse code disc to the fine code information on the fine code disc, control information data is applied to the fine code disc to directly superimpose on the coarse code information of the coarse code disc. The control code information is provided in each case on two concentric control half-tracks of the fine code disc, and the coarse code information is provided in each case on two concentric coarse code half-tracks of the coarse code disc. The superposed coarse code half-tracks and control half-tracks are scanned in common by means of a single scanning field of the scanning plate.
摘要:
A measuring scale carrier for a longitudinal or angle measuring system is stretched and contracted in a localized manner in order to bring about a desired error correction course through the generation of localized longitudinally extending forces in the carrier. A number of approaches for generating these localized longitudinally extending forces are described, including the use of spring elements mounted on the carrier and the localized variation of a predetermined longitudinal tension in the carrier.
