Abstract:
A scribing device for a component includes a holder and a first scribing assembly coupled to the holder. The first scribing assembly includes a first scribing tool including a first scribing tip configured to define a first annular scribe mark on a circumferential surface of the component, and a first biasing member configured to bias the first scribing tool towards the circumferential surface of the component. The scribing device further includes a second scribing assembly. The second scribing assembly includes a second scribing tool including a second scribing tip configured to define a second annular scribe mark on the circumferential surface of the component, and a second biasing member configured to bias the second scribing tool towards the circumferential surface of the component.
Abstract:
Devices, systems and methods for hanging one or more objects, such as frames, on a surface. A marking device for marking a surface for hanging one or more objects. The marking device can have a main body portion having first and second arms pivotably attached thereto. The first and second arms, as well as the main body, can each have a marker to mark a target surface. The marking device can optionally have a level indicator and the first and second arms can have markers which can slide along a ruled measure for convenient positioning of marks on the target surface. Optionally, the markers can have biased, retractable, or sheathed marker pins.
Abstract:
Calibrated layout tools with calibrated offset surfaces to provide for the collinear marking of a workpiece or multiple workpieces are disclosed. The calibrated layout tools allow for accurate marking of work pieces such as the precise layout and marking of dovetail joints for example. The calibrated layout tools provide a new and efficient approach to laying out and marking joinery without common and frequently occurring measurement errors. The calibrated layout tools accommodate various joint geometries, including size, spacing and angle for use in a variety of applications ranging from small decorative objects like jewel boxes to large-scale traditional construction methods like timber framing.
Abstract:
A substrate processing tool is prevented from falling out of a tool holder. This substrate processing tool is a tool for attachment to a substrate processing apparatus. The substrate processing tool includes a tool main body, a blade edge portion, and an engaging portion. A holding portion that is to be held by the chuck portion of the substrate processing apparatus is formed in at least a portion of the tool main body. The blade edge portion is formed on one end side of the tool main body. The engaging portion is formed on the other end side of the tool main body, and protrudes farther than the surface of the tool main body.
Abstract:
A measurement and installation data indicating apparatus including a distance image sensor that obtains distance image data in a predetermined range, a projector that projects an image on a projection plane in a predetermined range, an inclination data obtaining part that obtains inclination data on a detection optical axis and a projection optical axis relative to a vertical direction, a positional data obtaining part that obtains coordinate data on a present position and a target position, and a terminal controller that generates, based on the coordinate data, a target information image related to the target position and seen from the present position. The terminal controller corrects the target information image to fit to a shape of the projection plane based on the distance image data and the inclination data, and projects the corrected target information image by the projector.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a portable appliance for marking a surface, the appliance comprising a housing (2) presenting a front face that is open for passing a marker member that is moved by a device for moving the marker member in a two-dimensional marking zone (Z). The housing is provided with a positioning nose (30) for positioning the appliance over the surface for marking, the positioning nose defining firstly the two-dimensional marking zone (Z) facing the front face of the housing and at a distance from the front face, and secondly an opening (35) extending the top wall for enabling the two-dimensional marking zone to be viewed, the top wall of the housing being fitted with a display screen in such a manner that the screen and the two-dimensional marking zone as seen through the opening of the positioning nose appear simultaneously in the field of view of an operator.
Abstract:
A method and system are provided to position and drill an opening for a fastener through one or more workpieces. In the context of a method, a peen mark is formed on a workpiece at a location at which the opening is to be drilled. The method also includes utilizing a robotic vision system to identify the peen mark on the workpiece and thereafter drilling the opening configured to receive the fastener at the location designated by the peen mark. In the context of a system, the system includes a dot peen marking system configured to form a peen mark on a workpiece at a location at which the opening is to be drilled. The system also includes a robot comprising a vision system configured to identify the peen mark on the workpiece and a drilling machine configured to drill the opening at the location designated by the peen mark.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a measuring and marking tool may include a triangular base member with a right angle and two complementary opposite angles formed by a first leg, a second leg, and a hypotenuse. A pivotal coupling element may pivotally couple an arm element to the right angle of the base member, allowing the arm element to pivot towards and away from the first and second legs. Preferably, a leveling device may be coupled to the arm element. A locking element may be operably connected to the arm element for arresting the pivotal movement of the arm element relative to the base member. An elongated marking aperture, which may have a plurality of marking indentations, may be disposed on the base member.
Abstract:
A marking stylus for use in automated marking systems with one of the following superabrasive components as the scribing tip: polycrystalline diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride. The superabrasive may have one or more chamfers, as well as a sharp, rounded, or blunt tip. The superabrasive is preferably attached to the body of the stylus by one of the following methods: brazing, press fit, shrunk fit, clamped, casted, injection molded, or a high pressure high temperature cycle.
Abstract:
A layout tool may have a length and several marking areas or sections by which the headers, footers, and studs of a wall can be marked and subsequently assembled. The layout tool has a bend at about a right angle along the length of the layout tool allowing it to lay over multiple pieces of building material at once. Once marked, the building materials can be assembled quickly and with limited or no human error.
