  • Patent number: 11720065
    Abstract: A device for measuring a horological component comprising a measurement cell, at least two optical systems and a driver unit. The measurement cell comprises a measurement channel filled with a liquid and flat and parallel faces. Each optical system comprises a light emitter suitable for emitting a light in a predefined wavelength so as to illuminate a horological component that is present and being displaced in the measurement channel in the measurement zone and an optical sensor associated with said light emitter to receive at least a part of the light emitted by said light emitter. The optical systems operate in different respective wavelengths. The driver unit drives the optical systems and processes the digital data obtained from the optical systems. It is configured to implement calculations of at least one measurement of a horological component.

  • Publication number: 20210238701
    Abstract: A method for heat treating a horological component includes the following steps: heating of the component by irradiation, using a laser beam, of at least 80% or at least 90% of the projected surface of the component parallel to the direction of the laser beam, and cooling of the component in a gas stream.

  • Patent number: 10175036
    Abstract: Method of measuring at least one dimension (L) of an object (1) having a first axis (2), the method including the use of a first optical system (11) including an optical sensor (111) and having a second optical axis (113), the measuring method including (i) obtaining at least one series of data from the optical sensor when the object is in movement relative to the first optical system, notably an angular movement of the first axis relative to the second axis and/or a movement of the object in rotation about the first axis and/or a movement of the object in translation along the second axis and (ii) processing the at least one series of data to quantify said at least one dimension.
