Abstract: A method and an apparatus for monitoring a bearing state of a probe or probe part of a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one evaluation device and at least one monitoring circuit. A probe-side bearing section is mountable on a measuring-machine-side bearing section via a plurality of bearing devices. The monitoring circuit comprises at least one subcircuit per bearing device. A variable dependent on a resistance of the monitoring circuit is determinable. A resistance value of the subcircuit in a closed state of the bearing device is different than a resistance value of the subcircuit in the open state of the bearing device. The monitoring circuit is designed in such a way that an open or closed bearing state of each bearing device is determinable depending on the variable dependent on the resistance of the monitoring circuit.

Abstract: A method for measuring the coordinates of workplaces on a coordinate-measuring device has a probe head including a probe and a probe sensor associated therewith. The method includes generating a probe signal when the probe contacts a workpiece. From this signal, dimensional values are determined that represent the position of the probe head when the workpiece is contacted. The probe head additionally includes an acceleration sensor generating an acceleration signal when the probe head accelerates, wherein the probe signal and the acceleration signal are fed to a control and analysis unit for analysis. This unit determines the dimensional values so that an analysis signal is determined by subtracting the probe signal and the acceleration signal from each other, and the dimensional values representing the position of the probe head when contacting the workpiece are determined only using the analysis signal.

Abstract: A method and a device for determining the velocity of a mass flow of powdered/granular bulk material in a conduit (1). Periodic disturbances are introduced into the mass flow that affect its electrical properties at at least one first point of the conduit (“point of disturbance”) (SST). Using an electrode mechanism (ME1 . . . ME6) an electrical current is produced by the mass flow at at least one second measuring point situated downstream of the point of disturbance (“measuring point”) (MST), and temporarily occurring changes of the current based on the disturbances introduced upstream are measured via an evaluation circuit (REV). The speed of the mass flow is determined from the time dependency between measured changes and introduced disturbance.

After a portion of the photo layer is exposed, the non-exposed areas of the photo layer and the other layers in register with the non-exposed areas are removed. After the exposed area of the photo layer is removed along with selected subjacent layers, the end product includes the substrate and the remaining areas of the lacquer area on the substrate, the color layer and the adhesive layer.
