Abstract: A method for determining a spatial correction of a primary ultrasonic emitter (2) by evaluating the ultrasonic signal emitted by the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) and received by at least three ultrasonic receivers (8, 9, 10) calibrated in space (11) is described, wherein the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) is arranged in a coplanar emitter array (5) with at least two secondary ultrasonic emitters (3, 4) and the nominal emission direction of the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) is known relative to the coplanar emitter array (5), and wherein the ultrasonic receivers (8, 9, 10) are positioned to receive ultrasonic signals from the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) and the at least two secondary ultrasonic emitters (3, 4) of the emitter array (5). The description is also concerned with a respective measurement device.

Abstract: A method for mounting a machine element to a work piece in one embodiment includes performing a mounting process for mounting a machine element to a work piece; and sucking air from a vicinity of the machine element while moving the machine element during at least part of the mounting process. A method for mounting a machine element to a work piece in another embodiment includes feeding a machine element to an actuation section of handling and actuation apparatus using a feeding section; sucking air in the vicinity of the machine element during the feeding of the machine element; initiating an actuation section for mounting the machine element to a work piece using a moveable actuation member; and sucking air in the vicinity of the actuation member at least during operation of the actuation member.
