  • Patent number: 9109872
    Abstract: A calibration device for gauges for the measurement of the geometrical characteristics of cylinders, such as the diameter, profile, rotundity and eccentricity errors, wherein such gauges include a pair of movable opposing arms equipped with feelers or sensors at their free ends, includes a pair of abutments reciprocally approachable and/or withdrawable by means of motors until a sample measure is obtained, as desired, within the measuring range of the gauge, on which the calibration device is assembled, revealed by means of measuring means cooperating with the abutments, such that consequently the feelers or sensors are respectively abutted or approached to the abutments to reveal the sample measure.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130122790
    Abstract: A contrast device for the grinding of products, particularly but not exclusively cylinders, held between centres, wherein a grinding machines (21) comprise a holding structure (20) equipped with a grinding wheel (24) to which a cylinder to be processed (22) is opposed, and the contrast device (23) is situated on the opposite side of the cylinder (22) with respect to the grinding wheel (24), the contrast device (23) comprising a slide (25) assembled on a short pipe (26) sliding inside a body (27) of the contrast device (23) by an interposed actuator (28, 35), there also being a blocking element (29) of the relative position of the short pipe (26) with respect to the body (27) and an irreversible blocking device (31, 32, 33) of the position of the pipe (26) with respect to the cylinder (22).
