Abstract:
Sowohl Scheibenräder (12) als auch Felgenteile (13) sind auf eine Aufspannvorrichtung (3) aufspannbar, wobei die Fel genmitte (21) jeweils an selber Stelle liegt. Das Einspannen geschieht mittels eines Ringes (25), der Spannbacken (27) radial nach aussen gegen die innere Stirnseite (33) des Prüf körpers (12, 13) drückt, wobei gleichzeitig der Zentrierdurch messer (33) gemessen wird. Tastrollen (16, 17) ermitteln den Rundlauf, die Rundlaufdifferenz, den effektiven oberen und unteren Nenndurchmesser (56), den Seitenschlag, die effek tive Nennweite (57). Ein Taster (43) ermittelt die Planheit des Flansches (32). Durch Entriegeln eines Riegelelementes (8) kann die Aufspannvorrichtung (3) zwecks Unwuchtprüfung über eine Kugelkalotte (2) gleiten, wobei eine Luftleitung (7) in die Kalotte mündet.
Abstract:
An azimuth angle compensation device (110) adapted for use with an assembler device for inserting an object into a workpiece, whereby the assembler device establishes a centerline corresponding substantially to an insertion axis of the object to be inserted into the workpiece. The azimuth compensation device includes: a first member (112); a second member (114); and a connecting structure (116). The connecting structure causes the second member (114) and the object to rotate about the centerline through at least one angle and in at least one direction when the object is brought into contact with the workpiece by the assembler device.
Abstract:
The geometrical features of a part (6) having centre seats are electronically checked by processing signals of gauging heads (14-17) that relate to linear dimensions of the part together with signals of other gauging heads (30, 31) adapted to define a reference geometrical axis. In order to obtain checkings of high accuracy, the reference geometrical axis is defined by means of two gauging heads (30, 31), each of which has a feeler (67, 72) movable along the three directions that is adapted to cooperate with a respective centre seat.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining the extend of damage to a vehicle body (10) prior to its repair includes first and second means (24, 34) to be coupled with the vehicle body (10) for holding a first string (64) in spaced relationship to the body. First string means (64) is coupled with the first and second string holding means (24, 34) and drawn taut. Third and fourth means (24, 34) adapted to be coupled with the vehicle body (10) on the opposite side from the location of the first and second means (24, 34) is adapted to hold a second string (64) in spaced relationship to the vehicle body. A second string means is drawn taut between the third and fourth holding means (24, 34). Comparative measurements are then taken between the first string (64) and the undamaged area of the vehicle body (10) which corresponds to the damaged area (A) on the opposite area. Second measurements are taken between the second string (64) and the damaged area (A) of the vehicle body (10) and compared with the first measurements. The amount of damage to the body (10) can then be determined by this comparison.
Abstract:
Vehicle wheel alignment apparatus having active alignment determining means (23, 24) operatively mounted on the steerable (22) and non-steerable (15) wheels so as to be substantially insensitive to mechanical distortion of the vehicle wheels and operable in combination with wheel run-out compensation means to produce wheel alignment results of improved accuracy, and utilizing the improved arrangement of alignment apparatus for supplying information which can be used for computing the important angular relationship of the wheels to a vehicle reference.
Abstract:
A device for measuring toe, cambers, and caster angles of car wheels includes a pair of elongated bodies (3). Each is held by any means perpendicular to the floor. A protractor plate (2) with a movable protractor (15) sliding parallel to the wheel's direction sets on top of the body and on a plane that is parallel to the floor. The movable protractor (15) consists of two protractors perpendicular to each other. Two strings (1) connect the centers of the protractors for toe and camber measurements. Another setup for toe measurements consists of a third elongated body parallel to and equidistant from the others. The three elongated bodies create an equilateral triangle with strings as sides. An adapter places the plate (2) with string on a plane that is perpendicular to the floor for camber measurements. The plate (2) has a plumb bob (13) at its protractor's center for measuring camber and caster with the adapter.
Abstract:
A measuring platform system (10) is utilized to measure the extent of damaged or misaligned vehicle frame or bodies to expedite the repair thereof. The platform becomes the measuring datum plane (30) from which all measurements as to the pre and post repair locus of a particular reference point on the vehicle are taken as to height above the datum plane and distance from a longitudinal centerline of the datum plane. Means (1200) are provided as a part of the platform system to raise the vehicle and move same to a position where the longitudinal vertical plane through the centerline of the vehicle intersects the centerline of the datum plane. A computer (24) can be used as a part of the system.
Abstract:
For the precision adjustment of machine tools there are used mechanical or electromechanical feeler apparatuses, for example optical indicators which are lit when contacting the surface to be machined. The precision of the adjustment by means of said apparatus does not always correspond to the precision requirements. According to the present method, the feeler approaches slowly the surface or the edge to be feeled until the contact of the feeler rotating with the surface or the edge corresponds to a rotation angle ( alpha ) of the feeler which exceeds 180 by a security value, but is smaller than 300 . The device for implementing said method comprises a casing with an electric current source and switching members for optical indicator elements. The casing is traversed by a hollow shaft connected to one pole of the current source. The hollow shaft carries at its end, on the machine side, a recording area ground with precision and, at its free end, a feeler which is electrically insulated and connected to an amplifier.
