GAUGING HEAD FOR CHECKING DIMENSIONS OF WORKPIECES

摘要

A gauging head, for checking linear dimensions of workpieces, comprises a casing; two movable arms, pivotable about pins fixed to the casing, and carrying feelers for contacting the workpiece to be checked; two position transducers operatively coupled to the movable arms; a second pair of arms pivotable about the pins; and zero-setting devices. The zero-setting devices include two members coupled to a shaft rotatable by a control lever. In a first position of the control lever the members are locked and the gauging head is in gauging condition. In a second position of the control lever the members are unlocked and can translate along the shaft permitting to carry out the zero-setting operation of the head because the two movable arms and the second pair of arms engage the members in such a way that the arms can rotate about the pins while maintaining a determined setting of the transducers.
