  • Patent number: 10641593
    Abstract: An assembly for automatically detecting contactlessly elongate objects (W). The assembly comprises an inductive measuring system (E) and a first optical measuring system (D) for the object (W) within a housing (2). The inductive measuring system (E) is an eddy current sensor for determining an electromagnetic characteristic of the object (W) and has half coils (E1a, E1b) which wind around the object (W) and forms an inductive cylindrical measurement volume (Ev). The half coils (E1a, E1b), together with a capacitor (E2), form a parallel oscillating circuit (E6), which is connected to an electronic evaluating circuit (E5). The first optical measuring system (D) determines the outside diameter (Wdo) of the object (W) and an optical disk-shaped measurement volume (DCPv) is formed between the two half coils (E1a, E1b). Optionally, the assembly, by a second optical measuring system (C), determines the color and the position by a third virtual measuring system (P).
