  • Publication number: 20100192396
    Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device for measuring the length of elongated profiles (100, 101, 102, 103) disposed in a longitudinal direction, particularly of pipes, between at least two opposing measuring sides (2, 3), of which at least one can be displaced on a measuring side (2, 3) in the longitudinal direction (L) until both ends (110, 111, 112, 113; 120, 121, 122, 123) of the elongated profile (100, 101, 102, 103) come in contact with each other, and at least one of the measuring sides (2, 3) has at least one measuring ram (10, 11, 12, 13), comprising at least two ribs (51a, 51b, 52a, 52b) that extend at a distance to each other transversely to the longitudinal direction (L) and can be displaced elastically back and forth in the longitudinal direction (L).

  • Publication number: 20100116105
    Abstract: Rotary transmission leadthrough with: a shaft (3) able to turn about a longitudinal axis running in the longitudinal direction (L) with at least one longitudinal borehole (26, 27, 28) running in the longitudinal direction (L), in which a push rod (43, 44, 45) is arranged and can move back and forth relative to the shaft (3) in the longitudinal direction (L), and with at least one opening (22, 23) in a lateral wall of the shaft which extends to a coordinated longitudinal borehole (26, 27, 28) and at least one push fork (12, 13, 14) which can travel in the longitudinal direction (L) outside the shaft (3) and is coordinated with one of the push rods (43, 44, 45), and an active connection running through the coordinated opening (22, 23) to the coordinated longitudinal borehole (26, 27, 28) between the coordinated push fork (12, 13, 14) and the coordinated push rod (43, 44, 45), which transmits a back and forth motion of the coordinated push fork (12, 13, 14) relative to the shaft (3) onto the coordinated push rod

  • Patent number: 7684055
    Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring station, especially for a pipe cutting machine (2), with a first distance sensor (8) that can pivot about a transverse axis (16) by a drive (13) for generating a first scanning beam (6) that scans an object (4) during the continuous pivoting motion and measures first distance measured values in a clocked manner, and with a second distance sensor (19) that is stationary as regards the transverse axis (16) for generating a second scanning beam (22) that is directed onto a angle measuring apparatus (21) connected in a non-rotating manner to the first distance sensor (8) and that measures second distance measured values in a clocked manner, and with an electronic synchronization unit (17) comprising connections for the first and the second distance measured signals, and with a calculating unit (18) that calculates a profile of the object (4) to be measured from the synchronized distance measured signals.

  • Publication number: 20100050831
    Abstract: The invention concerns a tool head with a housing (11), in which at least one thrusting wedge (31, 32, 33) is provided, able to move back and forth in the longitudinal direction (L) in a first toothed guide, which is coordinated with a support (21, 22, 23) in the housing (11), able to move in a second toothed guide in a transverse direction (R1, R2, R3) transversely to the longitudinal direction (L), and the thrusting wedge (31, 32, 33) and the coordinated support (21, 22, 23) are in sliding contact with each other via a slanted contact surface (51, 52, 53) and a movement of the thrusting wedge (31, 32, 33) in the longitudinal direction (L) brings about a transverse movement of the coordinated support (21, 22, 23) via the slanted contact surface (51, 52, 53) and a cutting tool (161, 162, 163) can be fastened on the support (21, 22, 23) and the support (21, 22, 23) has a support arm (101, 102, 103) extending in the transverse direction (R1, R2, R3).

  • Publication number: 20100037745
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sawing tool comprising a substantially disk-shaped support (1) from which a plurality of tooth inserts (4) project which are juxtaposed along a supporting edge (3) and have at least one sawtooth (12) each with at least one tooth rear (12) and at least one blade (9). The tooth inserts (4) are connected to the support (1) in a position-stable manner even when the sawing tool is operated. The supporting edge (3), in its cross-section perpendicular to the plane of the disk, has a rooflike shape and the tooth inserts (4) have a mounting (8) configured as a rooflike recess mating the roof shape of the supporting edge (3). Recesses (13) and/or bulges are arranged along the supporting edge (3) and are associated with corresponding bulges (14) and/or recesses on the interior of the mounting (8) of a tooth insert (4) and the bulges (14) fit into the corresponding recesses (13) in a form-fit manner.

  • Publication number: 20090126215
    Abstract: The invention concerns a measuring device for the simultaneous examination (testing) of lengths of at least essentially equal length sections (20) of a rod shaped profile material, whereby two opposite measuring sides (30, 40) can be positioned between at least two sections (20) in longitudinal direction (L) next to each other and can be positioned on an acceptance (10) in a specified bundle and a travel device (90) for at least one of the two measuring sides (30, 40) by which the distance between the two measuring sides can be reduced and is characterized by that at least one of the two measuring sides (30, 40) at a minimum shows one in longitudinal direction (L) aligned relative to a measuring side (30, 40) moveable measuring plunger (60) is shown and one section (20) after the reduction of the distance between the two measuring sides (30, 40) touches with one end exactly one of the measuring plungers (60) and with the other end touches the other measuring side (40).

  • Publication number: 20090077823
    Abstract: The invention concerns a profile measuring fixture for the measuring of the profile of a surface of a narrow body, especially the profile of the surface of the wall of a tube end with a holding fixture (8) for the body (7) and at least a first measuring arm (4) with at least a moveable measuring arm (4), the probe head (9) scans the surface during the measurement and one of the first relative movements between at least the first probe head (9) and the at least first measuring arm (4). At least one probe head sensor (26) is provided during the measurement of the relative position between at least the first measuring arm (4) and the surface in a one dimensional travel direction (L), which changes travel fixture (2,3) whereby the first relative movement direction (S1) is provided inclined to the travel direction (L).
