1,149,176. Ganging machines. BENDIX CORP. May 20, 1966 [June 7, 1965], No. 22496/66, Heading G1M. In a gauging machine 10 the measuring probe 11, 11a is movably mounted to reciprocate in three mutually perpendicular directions, the position of the probe being indicated on an electrical display screen 12. As shown in Fig. 2, the probe 11, 11a is carried by a structure 22 which is mounted on a carriage 25. For reciprocable motion along a beam 15. A stablizing bar 23 extends from the carriage 25 to bear against an adjustable beam 18. The probe 11, 11a is reciprocable in a direction perpendicular to the beam 15 on a carriage 32 along guideways extending through a structure 24 see Fig. 3. The position of the respective carriages 25, 32 is determined by grating systems 35, 37, each associated with respective reader heads. The probe may be also reciprocated in a vertical plane. The worktable 55, see Fig. 1 (not shown), for supporting the workpiece under test is mounted on the base 13 for universal and movement and may be also reciprocated towards and away from the probe in a direction parallel with the undersurface of structure 24. Cam-operated locking means are provided for locking the carriages 25, 32 in the required positions. |
