  • Method for detecting the thickness of the walls of hollow manufactured bodies made from non-ferromagnetic material
    Patent number: 8869631
    Abstract: A hollow manufactured body has at least one wall of non-ferromagnetic material with an outer surface and an inner surface facing a cavity of the body. Two mutually magnetically attracted sliders are positioned on the inner and outer surfaces. The outer slider is moved manually across the outer surface to a predetermined point where the wall thickness is to be detected; the inner slider on the inner surface follows the movements of the outer slider due to the effect of the magnetic attraction. A transducer on the outer slider is used to measure the force required to move a magnet away from the outer surface of the wall. The value of the thickness of the wall at the predetermined point is then derived from the measured force.

  • STRUCTURAL MEMBER WITH FLANGE HAVING A CLEAN CUT EDGE, AND PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120288666
    Abstract: Structural member composed of assembled plies of fibre material is embedded in a resin matrix, and includes at least one laminated part formed by these plies arranged in a stacking relationship, wherein the laminated part of the structural member is folded in such a way as to form a flange defining an inner angle with respect to a base portion of the laminated part. The edge of the flange forms a sloped surface on the concave side of the laminated part, at which sloped surface the plies of the flange which are closer to the concave side of the laminated part are folded towards the ply of the flange positioned on the convex side of the laminated part, in such a way as to cause their ends to be substantially level with the face of the flange on the convex side of the laminated part.

  • METHOD FOR DETECTING THE THICKNESS OF THE WALLS OF HOLLOW MANUFACTURED BODIES MADE FROM NON-FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20120111126
    Abstract: A hollow manufactured body has at least one wall of non-ferromagnetic material with an outer surface and an inner surface facing a cavity of the body. Two mutually magnetically attracted sliders are positioned on the inner and outer surfaces.

A transducer on the outer slider is used to measure the force required to move a magnet away from the outer surface of the wall. The value of the thickness of the wall at the predetermined point is then derived from the measured force.
