DEVICE FOR DETECTING DEFECTS IN A SURFACE OF AN OBJECT

摘要

A device for detecting irregularities in the surface of an object comprises at least one transducer which is movable relative to the surface of the object and an associated signal-processing unit which receives and processes output signals generated by the transducer. The signal-processing unit includes two electrical circuits, the first circuit providing a signal A which is derived from the output signal from the transducer and the second circuit including an analog shift register to provide a signal B which is derived from the output signal from the transducer and which is time delayed relative to signal A. The signal-processing unit also includes means for combining signals A and B to provide a measuring signal C.
