Abstract
An apparatus and method for measuring twister ring warp on a twister frame are described. The apparatus involves a levelling device having flat contact points which engage the twister ring on the frame, and when all contact points are touching, the ring indicates the degrees of deflection from flat exhibited from the ring.
Claims6
An apparatus for measuring distortion on a normally, flat, circular twister ring surface comprising a shaft, a plurality of arms attached to and extending radially from said shaft and adapted to rest on said circular twister ring surface, said arms being at least four in number and each arm being spaced equidistant from the arms adjacent thereto on either side thereof, a leveling bubble positioned in the end of said shaft and constructed to measure any deviation of said circular twister ring surface from a flat surface exhibited when all radially extending arms touch the ring surface.
A method of measuring twist ring warp on a twist frame comprising placing a plurality of arms affixed to a vertical post on the surface of the ring to be tested, applying pressure downwardly on the post to firmly rest all of the arms on the surface of the ring and measuring any deflection of the post from the absolute vertical on a level affixed to the post to determine the extent of the ring warp present.
