A method and a device for checking fixtures used in machines or stations in production lines or installations.

摘要

The positioning and/or configuration of the fixtures (5) used in the various machines or stations of a production line are checked by an automatic checking device including a coordinate-checking unit (34) which moves automatically along the line and stops at each machine or station in order to carry out the necessary checks. A stationary electronic control unit (39) near each machine or station is connected to electronically-controlled actuator means (38) on the checking unit in order to control the movement of a feeler head (35) of the checking unit (34) according to a predetermined program adapted to the specific station at which the checking unit has stopped. <IMAGE>
