Abstract
A support system (1) for a horological component (9), in particular for a horological component comprising a surface (91) generated by revolution and/or an axis (A9), includes a positioning device (2), in particular a centering device, for the horological component (9) in relation to an axis (A) of the system, and a holding device (3) for the horological component (9), the positioning device and holding device being independent and/or different and/or distinct.
Claims20
A support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, or both independent and distinct.
A control system for controlling a support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, or both independent and distinct,
- wherein the control system comprises:
- a first control device for the positioning device for the horological component, and
- a second control device for the holding device for the horological component,
- the first and second control devices being independent, different, distinct, independent and different, independent and distinct, different, and distinct, or independent, different and distinct.
An operating method for a control system as claimed in for controlling a support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, of both independent and distinct,
- wherein the method comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of:
- applying a first specification of forces applied by the positioning device, the first specification changing in accordance with the change in the dimensions of the horological component or tabulated values or linearly over time,
- applying a second specification of forces applied by the holding device, the second specification changing in accordance with the change in the dimensions of the horological component or tabulated values or linearly over time,
- applying a third specification of forces applied by the holding device, the third specification allowing a resistance test of the horological component to be carried out.
