Abstract: A process for machining mils and similar work pieces, especially for grinding the roll surface to a desired shape which process is characterized by continuously meshing the distance between the part of the work piece (1) which is subjected to working and a reference measuring means, preferably a measuring point of the tool or means cooperating therewith, which depends on the position of the working tool (2), with a distance measuring means (4), as well as the temperature of the work piece at or close to the spot of working and/or the distance measuring point with a temperature measuring means (3), submitting signals corresponding to the measured value from the distance and temperature measuring means resp.

Abstract: A device for measuring the inside dimensions of a cast iron mold includes a measuring device movably arranged inside the cast iron mold on one or several guide rails. The measuring device comprises a rim with plates, each of which forms a capacitor together with an adjacent portion of the mold wall. An electronic unit for generating and subsequently processing signals corresponding to the capacitances of the separate capacitors provides an indication of the interior dimensions of the mold, based upon the capacitance measurements.
