Abstract
A device for detecting a layer thickness of a coated component, particularly a brake disc for a disc brake of a motor vehicle, includes at least one holding device and a guiding device. The holding device has a bearing surface for the component. The guiding device is configured to hold and guide a sensor in order to measure the layer thickness. The sensor is configured to be moved by the guiding device along a vertical axis and pivot about a first axis of rotation that is oriented horizontally. The sensor is further configured to be moved by the guiding device along a horizontal axis.
Claims11
A device for detecting a layer thickness of a coated component, comprising:
- at least one holding device having a bearing surface for the component;
- and
- a guiding device configured to hold and guide a sensor to measure the layer thickness,
- wherein the sensor is configured to be moved by the guiding device along a vertical axis and pivoted about a first axis of rotation that is oriented horizontally, and
- wherein the sensor is further configured to be moved by the guiding device along a horizontal axis.
A method for operating a device for detecting a layer thickness of a coated component, the device including at least one holding device that has a bearing surface for the component and a guiding device configured to hold and guide a sensor to measure the layer thickness, the method comprising:
- moving the sensor with the guiding device along a vertical axis and pivoting the sensor about a first axis of rotation that is oriented horizontally;
- and
- moving the sensor with the guiding device along a horizontal axis.
