| 20090031578 | Absolute position measuring apparatus - An absolute position measuring apparatus includes a first rotary encoder that detects a rotation of a spindle as a phase signal which varies in a first cycle and a second rotary encoder that detects the rotation of the spindle as another phase signal which varies in a second cycle. A rotation of a first rotor of the first rotary encoder is transmitted to a second rotor via a relay gear that is meshed with a first gear provided on an outer circumference of a first rotary cylinder and a second gear provided on an outer circumference of a second rotary cylinder. Thus, an absolute position of the spindle is calculated on the basis of two phase signals that are different in cycle. Further, it is not necessary to provide a conventionally-known spiral key groove so that the apparatus can be easily downsized. Manufacturing costs can be also reduced. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20110271541 | APPARATUS FOR MEASURING AN INSIDE DIAMETER OF A HOLE OF A WORKPIECE - An apparatus for measuring an inside diameter of hole of a workpeice comprises a main body, two probing legs, two pressure sensors, a controller unit, a display unit, and a step-motor. The two probing legs have a first end and a two second end. Two pressure sensors are respectively mounted on the second end and configured from generating a pressure signal in response to a reacting force applied thereon by an inner wall in the hole. The step-motor is configured for driving the two probing legs to rotate so as to enable the pressure sensors to about against the inner wall. The controller unit is configured for controlling the step driving the probing legs to rotate in response to the pressure signal and computing a rotation angle of each probing leg. The display unit is configured for display the inside diameter of a the hole | 11-10-2011 |

| 20100024237 | DIGITAL DISPLACEMENT MEASURING INSTRUMENT - A digital displacement measuring instrument includes a spindle screwed into a body to be axially advanced and retracted relative to the body; and an encoder that detects a displacement of the spindle. The encoder includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor is supported by a rotor bushing. The rotor bushing includes an engaging key engageable with a key groove axially provided on the outer circumference of the spindle, and is displaceable in the axial direction of the spindle via a position adjusting screw. The stator is fixed to the body via a stator bushing in the vicinity of the spindle so as not to be displaceable in the axial direction of the spindle. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20110099830 | TOOL POSITIONING SYSTEM - A system and a process are provided for positioning a tool relative to a surface. The system may include a mount fixed in location relative to the surface. A positioning assembly may be coupled to the mount that holds the tool adjacent the surface and moves the tool relative to the surface. The positioning assembly may move the tool to a reference location, identify such location, and then move to the tool to an operating position defined at a specified distance from the reference position. The positioning assembly may include a strain gauge to identify contact of the tool with the surface at the reference location via an indicator coupled to the strain gauge. The positioning assembly may also include a micrometer attached at its body to the mount and a spindle operable to move the tool. Fixtures couple the micrometer, strain gauge and tool to maintain fixed relative positions except for calibrated movement of the tool. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20150059196 | MICROMETER - A micrometer with good usability is provided. A micrometer has a frame with an anvil at one end and a spindle at another end, the spindle moving closer to or further away from the anvil. The frame is covered with a heat shield cover. The heat shield cover has a first anti-slip part. The first anti-slip part preferably has a plurality of protrusions. | 03-05-2015 |
| 20150082651 | APPARATUS OF MEASURING WORKPIECE - The apparatus of measuring a workpiece according to the present disclosure includes a base, a measuring member, an upper arm member, a lower arm member, a first pin and a second pin, wherein the upper arm member includes an upper rotation frame and the lower arm member includes a lower rotation frame. When the first pin is moved to disconnect the upper rotation frame from the lower rotation frame, the upper rotation frame is rotatable. When the second pin is moved to lock the lower rotation frame to the measuring member, the lower rotation frame is free of rotation. When the first pin is moved to connect the upper rotation frame and the lower rotation frame with each other and when the second pin is moved to unlock the lower rotation frame from the measuring member, the lower rotation frame is rotatable with the upper rotation frame. | 03-26-2015 |
