Abstract
A checking head (T) includes a casing (1), an arm (2) with a feeler, movable with respect to the casing, and a sensor, such as an inductive position transducer (5). An electronic identifier (27) is fixed to a frame coupled to the head (T), for storing identifying data relevant to the head, information relating e.g. to the configuration and calibration features of the head, and/or compensation values obtained in the 41 course of the calibration phase carried out on a suitable testing equipment.
Claims13
A head for the linear dimension checking of a mechanical piece including:
- a support structure,
- an arm-set, movable with respect to the support structure, with
- an arm, and
- a feeler, coupled to the arm, for touching a surface of the mechanical piece to be checked, and
- a sensor, coupled to said arm and to said support structure, for generating signals depending on the position of said arm with respect to said support structure,
- the head also including an electronic identification unit with an electronic identifier for storing identifying data relevant to the head, and a reference and protection frame for the electronic identifier.
