<p>The apparatus for ultrasonically checking the clamping of a workpiece comprises : a means (11) for transmitting pulses into said workpiece, a means (11) for receiving return signals, a means for measuring the time elapsed between the return of one of said signals and a previous event, and a calculating means (35) for deducing the clamping value of the piece therefrom. The measuring means includes a means for detecting a first and second return echo, a means (16) for sampling said echoes, and a means (35) for making a correlation between said first and second echoes to act as a basis for calculating the clamping value of the piece. The sampling means (16) is controlled by a delay line (31) and the measuring means also includes a threshold-comparing means (30) for detecting the echoes.</p> |
