Abstract: Described is a method for measuring and correcting the plunger adjustment in high-speed stroke presses. The plungers are used for cutting, punching, bending and/or embossing semi-finished goods or the like with high tolerance requirements. The plunger must be readjusted in accordance with the number of strokes per minute and the plunging depth of the plunger is measured. This is carried out using a detector head being provided with a plurality of induction loops, which is guided with the plunger stroke along a permanent magnetic strip, whose longitudinal extension is subdivided into alternating North/South poles. The induced voltage development is scanned through cosine and sine functions of the induction coils for any predetermined travel unit, and the amplitudes of the two functions are measured and evaluated at the turnover point.

Abstract: A thermal wave imaging apparatus generates a real time image of the surface and subsurface of an opaque solid object. A.C. electrical signals indicative of the configuration of the surface and subsurface of the object which are generated during a thermal wave scan of the object by a first heating beam which generates a localized temperature gradient on the object and a deflectable second probe beam heating beam, which deflection is detected by a detection device mounted adjacent to the object, are stored in an image memory under the control of a central processor. A refresh counter generates sequential, incremental signals used to control the X and Y axis deflection of a display monitor. Such signals also address the image memory and generate output data controlling the intensity of the display point at each generated X and Y axis deflection point.
