    摘要: There is provided an automatic measuring system that can automate measurement and a control method for automatic measurement. An automatic measuring system includes a measuring sensor tool that detects a surface of an object to be measured with a probe to measure a dimension or a shape of the object to be measured, and a multi-axis moving mechanism that relatively moves the measuring sensor tool with respect to the object to be measured. The measuring sensor tool includes a cover part to protect the probe. In an approaching step in which the moving mechanism causes the measuring sensor tool to approach a point to be measured of the object to be measured, the cover part accommodates the probe inside the cover part. After the approaching step is completed, the probe is exposed from the cover part to detect the surface of the object to be measured.

    摘要: A service tool and method of using for calibrating a position of a cutting edge of a blade. The service tool may comprise an inward-side face disposed between a first face and a second face. The inward-side face may include a curved portion, a leg portion and a notch configured to receive the cutting edge. The first face includes a curved edge, a plurality of horizontal lines and a plurality of vertical lines. When the cutting edge is received in the notch, and the curved portion abuts the top face of a bolt, the plurality of horizontal lines is configured to measure a vertical distance from a center of the top face to the cutting edge, and the plurality of vertical lines is configured to measure a horizontal distance from the center of the top face to the cutting edge.

    摘要: Provided herein are various embodiments of an improved device for accurate measurement along a desired axis that is tolerant to off axis movement and other environmental factors. The measurement relies on a conversion from linear displacement of a tensile element in a pulley system which is monitored by a low power rotational encoder. The orientation and mechanical architecture of the device is set to reduce the impact of off-axis movement or forces on the measurement of interest. A computing unit determines the distance measurement by determining the state of rotation in the system in the context of the system's specific design, without the need to constantly monitor the sensor.

    摘要: The invention is a method and measuring device configured for measurement by comparing the an area of interest or object with an object of comparable size and/or shape. This invention may be most useful when recording and classifying evidence. The measuring device should be portable and comprised of a flat, straight elongated member with measuring indicia along one or both the measuring edges, wherein the measuring indicia corresponds with values with labels of the standard sizes of comparable objects. The measuring indicia extends along the length of the measuring edge and the labels indicate the closest sized object. Other measuring indicia along the length of the measuring edge may also correspond to standard measurement units. The method should directly correlate a measurement with a comparable object for the purpose of recording evidence.

    摘要: There is provided a measuring tool attachment cover that combines ease of holding and performance (for example, heat insulation). An attachment cover includes a front face layer 110, a rear face layer 120 and an intermediate layer 130. The front face layer 110 and the rear face layer 120 are compact layers with low porosity, and the intermediate layer 130 is a hollow structural layer with higher porosity than the front face layer 110 and the rear face layer 120. The hollow structural layer includes two or more layers with different porosity, and a layer of the two or more layers closer to the front face has higher porosity than a layer closer to the rear face. A direction from the rear face layer 120 to the front face layer 110 is a thickness direction, and a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction is a width direction. The hollow structural layer has elastic modulus distribution in the width direction, and an elastic modulus of a certain area is different from an elastic modulus of an area surrounding the certain area.
