    摘要: There is provided a measuring device that is inexpensive and easy to use, yet provides sufficient accuracy and resolution in continuous scanning measurement to measure workpiece surfaces. A dial gauge includes a spindle provided to be movable reciprocatively in an axial direction through a main body case. The main body case includes a stem provided to protrude from a side face of the main body case. A ball bearing that bears the spindle is provided inside the stem. A workpiece and the dial gage are relatively moved while a contact point at the tip of the spindle is in contact with the surface of the workpiece, and continuous scanning measurement is performed to measure irregularities of the surface of the workpiece or the amount of runout of the rotating workpiece.

    摘要: A surface profiler including at least one front support wheel and at least one rear support wheel for travelling along the surface of a profile to be measured, the rotational axes of said wheels being longitudinally spaced, and the wheels contacting the surface being profiled in a collinear manner. A frame carried on the wheels carries at least one inclinometer and at least two vertical distance measuring apparatus such as lasers, and may also carry an optical encoder. The lasers are collinear with each other and with the wheels. Incremental to measurements of inclination angles provided by the inclinometer, together with incremental measurements of distance to the surface being measured provided by the lasers, produce a continuous, high resolution mathematical series of elevations representing the surface profile, including reproduction of surface features that are smaller than the distance between the wheels.

    摘要: A profiling machine includes an inclinometer and a displacement sensor. The inclinometer is configured to sense an incline of the profiling machine on a surface relative to the acceleration vector of gravity. The displacement sensor is configured to sense the distance that profiling machine has traversed along the surface. The profiling machine is configured to calculate and generate a surface profile of the surface based on incline data from the inclinometer and displacement data from the displacement sensor.

    摘要: A procedure is provided for evaluating the score, snap and edge appearance of wallboard panels, and includes scoring a wallboard panel with a knife at a constant and known force using a benchtop board scoring device; snapping the scored panel in a Universal Board Testing Machine to measure the breaking force, forming a snapped panel edge; measuring a cleanliness of the snapped panel edge by placing a straight edge against the snapped panel edge and measuring gaps between the snapped panel edge and the straight edge in a plurality of locations on a face of the panel, and a plurality of locations on a back of the panel; and averaging all of the measured gaps to create an Index Score.

    摘要: A height measuring apparatus. The height measuring apparatus includes a frame; a driving mechanism including a driving body that is connected with and movable along the frame and a moving part that is vertically movable with respect to the driving body. The driving body includes an altitude detector configured to detect an altitude of the moving part; a force transfer rod connected with the moving part to form a lever structure; a touching head connected with a first end of the force transfer rod; a dynamometer connected with a second end of the force transfer rod; a controller configured to stop the moving part from moving in response to the value of the force detected by the dynamometer reaching a predetermined force value; and a location detector configured to detect a location of a foreign object and send the detected location of the foreign object to the controller.
