Abstract: A measuring device determines the outer circumferential length of a rod-like item at its wind-up section. The wind-up section includes a roll paper supply part that provides continuous roll paper to a constituent part of the rod-like item and a wind-up part that wraps the constituent part with the supplied roll paper to form the rod-like item. The roll paper supply part consists of a first measuring part that assesses the paper width in the width direction crossing the roll paper's longitudinal direction, a second measuring part that measures the overlap width of the part overlapped by the roll paper around the rod-like item, and a calculating part that computes the outer circumferential length based on the differential width obtained by subtracting the overlap width from the paper width.

Abstract: A system for winding a rolled product includes a winder having a winding spool, a spool rotator, a distributor guiding positioning of the rolled product towards the spool at an instantaneous winding point, and a distributor translator. A control and command unit coordinates the rotator and the translator according to a predetermined winding program which is a function of predetermined reference operating parameters and of real time operating parameters. The detector includes a laser triangulation profilometer diametrically opposite to the distributor, and continuously detects the surface profile of the coil of rolled product at every added turn. A processing and calculation unit feedback adjusts translation speed of the distributor to minimize a difference between an actual operating parameter calculated based on the profile of the coil in formation detected by the profilometer and the same operating parameter calculated based on theoretical data related to a predetermined ideal coil winding.

Abstract: A deformation detection apparatus includes a cell movement-control assembly to handle a linear motion and a rotational motion of a battery cell, a body that supports the cell movement-control assembly, a digital micrometer, and control circuitry. The control circuitry controls a displacement of the battery cell between a first position and a second position along a longitudinal axis through a scanning region of the digital micrometer and a plurality of rotational positions of the battery cell at a plurality of charge states and a plurality of discharge states. The control circuitry measures a plurality of outer diameter values of the battery cell for a plurality of linear positions and a plurality of rotational positions along the longitudinal axis of the battery cell and determines a change in a geometrical shape (deformation and/or strain) of the battery cell for the plurality of linear positions and the plurality of rotational positions.

Abstract: A device for detecting an object conveyed through a measuring region comprises a transmission apparatus configured to emit measuring radiation onto the outer contour of the object. The measuring radiation comprises a frequency in a range of one of gigahertz and terahertz. A protective mesh is positioned between the measuring region and at least one of the transmission apparatus and the receiving apparatus. The protective mesh is transparent for the measuring radiation and permeable to a gas.

Abstract: A calibrated three-dimensional optical measuring apparatus for the three-dimensional measurement of geometric parameters of a rope has a frame defining and arranged around a rope receiving cavity. A plurality of image acquisition devices is configured to acquire a plurality of digital images of at least one region of an outer surface of the rope. The image acquisition devices are fixed to the frame and arranged around the rope when the calibrated three-dimensional optical measuring apparatus receives the rope in the rope receiving cavity. An attachment device is configured to constrain the calibrated three-dimensional optical measuring apparatus to the rope in a relatively translatable manner with respect to the rope. An electronic digital image processing device is configured to process a multiplicity of digital images and obtain a three-dimensional photogrammetric reconstruction of points of the digital images of the rope acquired by the image acquisition devices.
