Abstract: A measuring system for acquiring measured values by scanning, including an interface for connection to a control unit of a machine. The system is arranged on a movement axis of the machine, and an object can be measured by a measuring instrument of the system. During the measurement of the object, the measuring instrument generates a measured value that is stored in a control unit, that processes and stores the measured value. The control unit has a control module that reads out a position coordinate from the machine via the interface and compares the read-out position coordinate with a specified coordinate target range, and/or compares a time of a timer with a specified point in time, and releases a trigger signal if the control module detects that the position coordinate lies in the coordinate target range and/or if the time has reached or passed the specified point in time.

Abstract: The CNC machining device 1 includes a tool magazine 20, a spindle 26, an automatic tool replacing device, a CNC controller 32, a sensor head 10 configured to generate measurement data corresponding to a distance from a surface of the object, and a personal computer 40. The sensor head 10 generates measurement data (X, Z) at regular intervals. The CNC controller 32 generates position coordinate data (x, y, z, x?, y?, z?) at regular intervals. The sensor head 10 transmits the measurement data to the personal computer 40 through first radio communication RC1. The sensor head 10 transmits a synchronization signal for synchronizing the measurement data and the position coordinate data to the CNC controller 32 through second radio communication RC2.

Abstract: A device for calibrating the speed of a movement axis of a machine, including a measuring instrument and a measuring assembly having first and second measuring elements provided at a defined and known distance from one another on the measuring assembly. The measuring assembly is arranged on a workpiece receptacle of the machine, and the measuring instrument performs measurements with a known target frequency. When the device is arranged on the machine and the measuring instrument is moved at a known target speed of a movement axis of the machine from the first measuring element to the second measuring element, the measuring instrument interacts with the respective measuring element to determine an interaction date or a detection date. The device detects starting from the first interaction date or detection date to the second interaction date or detection date, a number of measurements of the measuring instrument.

Abstract: A measuring system for detecting measured values by scanning, including a measuring instrument. The measuring system can be arranged on a movement axis of a machine tool or a measuring machine. An object is measured by the measuring instrument generating a measured value during the measurement of the object. The measuring system includes a control unit to process and store the measured value, and a memory unit to store the detected measured value. The measuring system correlates a first measured value with a first position coordinate of the measuring instrument and, starting from the correlation of the first measured value with the first position coordinate, assigns position coordinates uniquely to further measured values detected by the measuring instrument since a movement speed and a movement direction of the measuring instrument during or at the time of the detection of the measured values are known to the measuring system.

Abstract: A machining apparatus capable of measuring the surface shape of the lateral side of a workpiece includes a tool magazine housing various types of tools, an automatic tool changing device which picks up a tool from the tool magazine and uses it to replace the tool mounted on a spindle, and a non-contact sensor that is housed in the tool magazine and measures the surface shape of a workpiece. The automatic tool changing device replaces the tool mounted on the spindle with the non-contact sensor picked up from the tool magazine. The non-contact sensor includes a light irradiation unit which applies a line light to the workpiece in an oblique direction thereto, and an imaging unit which captures an image of the line light reflected from the workpiece. The dead zone between the sensor and the measurement unit may be monitored with a separate detector.
