Abstract: Monitoring system (12) for a mobile component (3), for example a rotating component, supported by a fixed component (2). The monitoring system (12) components: two acoustic sensors (10) which are separate and independent from each other and are positioned in the rotating component (3); two first amplifiers (18) positioned in the rotating component (3); a single contactless communication unit (14) provided with a first transceiver device (15) positioned in the rotating component (3) and a second transceiver device (16) which faces the first transceiver device (15) and is positioned in the stationary component (2); two first connection lines (19), each of which connects a sensor (10) to a first amplifier (18); and a multiplexer (39) having two inputs connected to the two first amplifiers (18) and a single output which is connected to the first transceiver device (15) of the single communication unit (14).

Abstract: Thermal camera assembly (1) comprising a thermal imaging detector (3) providing thermographic images and/or recordings, a protective casing (2) which houses the thermal imaging detector and includes a window (5) with a transparent screen (6), one or more sensors (15;16;20;32;33) arranged in the protective casing and providing signals indicative of a physical quantity or a state, one or more actuators (8;22;28) arranged in the protective casing, and a control unit (9) which is integrated in the protective casing. The control unit is directly connected to the thermal imaging detector to receive the thermographic images and/or recordings and transmit them to the outside, to the sensors to receive the relative signals, and to the actuators to control the latter according to the signals received. The control unit is able to manage and control the communication between all the components of the thermal camera and the outside.

Abstract: Balancing system for a rotating spindle (3) of a machine tool (1); the balancing system has a rotating part comprising a balancing head (7) with at least one balancing mass (8) and at least one electric motor (9) which is adapted to regulate the position of the balancing mass; the rotating part also includes a vibration sensor (10) and a control system (11) with at least one hardware (12) and at least one software (13) executed by the hardware; the balancing system also includes a two-way contactless communication system (14) which establishes communication between the rotating control system and a fixed processing and control electronics (15) connected to a machine tool control unit (20).

Abstract: The checking methods includes the steps of feeding molten metal into the mold (3), extracting from the mold after a predetermined cooling time the mechanical piece (2) formed by the solidified molten metal; and acquiring at least one real thermographic image (A, X) of an internal surface (7) of the mold (3). To check the quality of the manufactured mechanical piece, at least part of the real thermographic image and/or related parameters is/are compared with images and/or related parameters belonging to a predetermined acceptability range. A possible anomaly in the mechanical piece is detected if the real thermographic image and/or related parameters do not correspond to said images and/or related parameters belonging to the predetermined acceptability range.
