Patent number: 11156454Abstract: The invention relates to a folding machine for folding an object, using a measurement system for measuring an angle between a first plane through a first surface area and a second plane through a second surface area of an object. The system includes a sensor arrangement for measuring the coordinates in a measurement coordinate system of a plurality of measurement spots in the first surface area, and an inclinometer for measuring an inclination of the measurement coordinate system to the direction opposite to the direction of the force of gravity. The measurement system also includes a processing device for determining the angle between the first plane and the second plane based on the measured coordinates of the plurality of measurement spots, the measured inclination and information on the angle between the second plane and the direction opposite to the force of gravity.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Nivora IP B.V.Inventor: Marcus Hermanus Lichtenberg

Patent number: 10302425Abstract: The invention relates to a measurement system for measuring at least an angle of the first plane through a first surface area of an object. The system includes a sensor arrangement for measuring the coordinates in a measurement coordinate system of a plurality of measurement spots on the first surface area. The measurement system further includes an inclinometer for measuring an inclination of the measurement coordinate system to the direction opposite to the direction of the force of gravity. The measurement system also includes a processing device for determining the angle of the first plane based on the measured coordinates of the plurality of measurement spots, the measured inclination from the inclinometer and the direction opposite to the force of gravity. The system may also measure the angle of the second plane.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2013Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Nivora IP B.V.Inventor: Marcus Hermanus Lichtenberg

Patent number: 9561571Abstract: Disclosed is a method for aiding in manual handling of a work piece during machining, which method comprises the steps of: reading a predetermined work plan, comprising a required orientation of the work piece for each machining step of the work plan; detecting the orientation of the work piece; comparing the detected orientation of the work piece with the required orientation; and projecting an indication on the work piece for aiding to manually orient the work piece to the required orientation for the machining step to be performed. Al disclosed is a device for performing the method.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Nivora IP B.V.Inventors: Peter Hermanus Gerhardus Wielens, Niels Tielenburg, Alexander Stefan Kok

Publication number: 20150241208Abstract: The invention relates to a measurement system for measuring an angle between a first plane through a first surface area and a second plane through a second surface area of an object. The system includes a sensor arrangement for measuring the coordinates in a measurement coordinate system of a plurality of measurement spots in the first surface area, the plurality of measurement spots including a first measurement spot at a first distance from an intersection between the first plane and the second plane and a second measurement spot at a second distance from the intersection, the second distance differing from the first distance. The measurement system further includes an inclinometer for measuring an inclination of the measurement coordinate system to the direction opposite to the direction of the force of gravity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2013Publication date: August 27, 2015Applicant: Nivora IP B.V.Inventor: Marcus Hermanus Lichtenberg
