Abstract: A measuring device includes a support frame, a distance sensor and display (DSD), and a measuring arm. The support frame includes a first support arm, a linking rod, a poke rod, an elastic member, and a second support arm. The DSD includes a movable measuring head. A fixed measuring head is arranged coaxially with the movable measuring head to measure a distance between them. The poke rod includes a poke portion and a resisting portion. When the poke portion is pulled towards the first support arm, the resisting portion can resist against the linking rod, and the linking rod rotates to move the measuring heads.

Abstract: A measuring device is configured for measuring a thickness of a wall, the measuring device includes a bracket, a guide assembly, a benchmark member, and a gauge. The bracket includes a base body, a first installation portion, and a second installation portion, and the first installation portion and the second installation portion extending from opposite ends of the base body. The guide assembly is movably received through the first installation portion. The benchmark member is mounted on the second installation portion. The gauge mounted on the guide assembly. The gauge is configured to be rotated by the guide assembly and indicates a measurement when the benchmark member contacts a first surface of the wall, the gauge contacts a second surface of the wall, and a central line of the gauge is coaxial with the benchmark line of the benchmark member.

Abstract: An indicating device with large graduations for a plane is installed at a combining section of a main base and a worktable of the plane, including a graduation ruler, a pointer and a rack. The graduation ruler formed as an arc is provided with graduations with number figures for readings. The upper end portion of the pointer faces exactly to the graduation ruler for pointing to one of the graduations. The pointer has gear teeth in its lower round edge for engaging with gear teeth located on one side of the rack. Therefore, a displacement the worktable moves relative to the main base can be clearly and easily read from the graduations of the graduation ruler.

Abstract: A displacement measuring instrument (1) has a spindle (25) penetrating a gauge body (11) to be slidably supported relative to the gauge body (11) to be displaced and a lifting lever (20) manipulated from the outside for forcibly shifting the spindle. A lever support (30) supporting an end opposite to a drive end (20A) of the lifting lever (20) that is in contact with the spindle (25) is supported by engaging a dovetail groove thereon with a projection of an engaging member (35) formed on the outer circumference of the gauge body (11).

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the probable existence, location, and type of defects in a workpiece is described. The apparatus includes a sensor subsystem, an optimizer, a control subsystem, and a computer system having a processor and computer readable memory. Sensor subsystem senses a first section of the workpiece and produces signals corresponding to a physical characteristic of the workpiece. The computer system is configured to generate a workpiece model based on the signals produced by the sensor subsystem. In an alternate embodiment, a defect assembler can be provided to merge signals from a plurality of sensor subsystems. The defect assembler can also be configured to generate the workpiece data model. The optimizer is configured to generate workpiece segmentation recommendations based on the workpiece data model.

Abstract: A gage for measuring the external threads of a threaded body has a segment housing formed from a housing body. The housing body has a generally U-shaped cross section with a bottom extending between a pair of opposite, upright sidewalls so that a channel with a longitudinal axis is defined. First and second gage segments are configured to engage the threads of the threaded body when the threaded body is positioned between the first and second segments and the first and second segments are closed together. The first gage segment is fixed to the housing body, and the second gage segment is received within the channel of the housing body. The second gage segment moves linearly within the channel along the longitudinal axis to allow the first and second segments to be separated for insertion of the threaded body between the first and second segments. This also allows the first and second segments to be closed together for engagement with the threaded body.

Abstract: A measuring gauge for measuring both inside and outside diameters. The inventive device includes a main body having a plurality of extension members telescopingly received therein which may be extended therefrom to various lengths. The device further includes a pair of pivotally mounted OD legs operable to engage the outside surfaces of an object being measured, and a pair of pivotally mounted ID legs operable to engage the interior surfaces of the measured object. The OD legs and the ID legs are aligned such that indicia provided along the device can be used for both inside and outside measuring operations.

Abstract: A service tool kit to perform synchronizing, fuel setting and fuel timing on a diesel truck engine. These adjustments are done without removing the rocker arm assemblies through the use of the access positioning tool included in the kit. All three calibrations can be made by inserting a holding fixture and other associated tools into the injector area without engine bolt removal or separate dial indicator setup.

Abstract: An interchangeable indicator tip device for a dial indicator gauge features a rotatable turret having a plurality of indicator tips. Each indicator tip is rotatable to position a selected indicator tip into a measurement position where the selected tip functions as the indicator tip for the dial indicator gauge.

Abstract: A system for use in measuring the lengths of individual pipes in a disassembled pipe string and automatically computing and recording the individual lengths and their cumulative total. The system 20 includes a measuring tape 21 on a spool 22 journalled for rotation as the tape is withdrawn therefrom and a system operations controller 48. The controller comprises a shaft encorder 50 for generating an encoded signal of voltage pulses representing the angular rotation of the spool and microprocessor 60 for converting the encoded signal to a data signal representing the length of a pipe P, the pipe number in order of sequence of measurement, and a cumulative total of individual pipe lengths. The data signals are transferable to a memory storage 64 by manual switch from which they are coupled to a visual display 70 and are retrievable for recording by a printer 72.

Abstract: A device for quickly and accurately determining the depth of cuts in a key, and for other depth determinations associated therewith. This device has a fixed anvil member having a flat top surface, as a reference surface, with a transverse slot to accept a second edge of doubly-cut key. A tip member having a selected configuration is biased toward this reference or "zero position" surface. Deviation of the tip member away from this reference surface is displayed in a visual manner on a dial indicator, a digital readout indicator or the like. The dimensioning of all the cuts of a key can be performed in seconds to accuracies of about 0.0005 inch. The cuts to be dimensioned can be in edges of the key or in flat side surfaces. Also, the pins of a lock tumbler can also be dimensioned with the embodiments of the invention.
