  • Patent number: 11609084
    Abstract: A system for mechanical testing a specimen includes a 3D printed mechanical testing fixture; a linear actuator having an axis of movement; a controller configured to control the linear actuator; two cameras; a data-acquisition system configured to acquire data from the linear actuator, the controller, and the two cameras; and the specimen. The specimen is marked in two locations with tracking markers to provide indication to the data acquisition system via at least one camera of movement and change in length of the specimen. The fixture includes force-sensing beams extending perpendicular to the axis of force.

  • Publication number: 20220314398
    Abstract: Dressing tool which has profiled elements arranged coaxially with one another and which are each provided with a profile form, which is tapered or the like in its axial cross-section and has working surfaces provided with hard-material particles. The profiled elements are delimited at their outer circumference by at least one generated surface. The dressing tool preferably includes six profiled elements arranged coaxially with one another, and a one-part or two-part metallic main body for the entire dressing tool or for a particular generated surface. The profile forms with the hard-material particles of the profiled elements may be produced by a negative process with a casting compound applied to the particular main body. This dressing tool can thus be used for a profiling of grinding worms extremely productively and precisely and also such that they can be corrected.
