The foot length information management system may further include a recording unit in which past foot length is recorded, and the growth curve information selecting unit may select growth curve information based on foot length recorded in the recording unit and foot length measured by the measurement unit.

Embodiments of the disclosure discloses a calibration bracket. The calibration bracket includes a base, a vertical rod, a transverse force application member and a transverse force application mating member. The vertical rod is detachably mounted to the base. The transverse force application member is disposed on one of the base and the vertical rod. The transverse force application mating member is disposed on the other of the base and the vertical rod and is configured to be connected to the transverse force application member to apply, to the vertical rod, a force parallel to the base. A limiting protrusion is provided on one of the base and the vertical rod. A limiting opening is provided on the other of the base and the vertical rod. The limiting opening can allow the limiting protrusion to pass through the limiting opening and snugly abut against the limiting protrusion when the transverse force application member applies a transverse force to the vertical rod. By means of the structure described above, the vertical rod can be quickly mounted to or detached from the base. Therefore, the calibration bracket is easy to assemble and transport.

The measuring jig for the rotary machine is a measuring jig for a rotary machine including a casing that extending about an axis, a rotor that is disposed in the casing and extends in an axial direction about the axis, and a plurality of bearings that are disposed at intervals in the axial direction and supports the rotor in the casing. The measuring jig includes a plurality of casing fixing portions that are respectively attachable to and detachable from bearing holding portions to which the bearings are attached in the casing; a main member that extends in the axial direction so as to connect the plurality of casing fixing portions to each other; an arm that extends from the main member in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction; and a reference surface that is disposed at a distance from a measurement target part of the casing.

The invention relates to a device for a motor vehicle having a protective element which can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position, with an environment detection unit which can be moved into an active position for image detection by an extension movement and into a resting position by a retraction movement, in which the environment detection unit is arranged to be externally inaccessible behind the protective element located in the closed position, and having a drive unit acting on the environment detection unit for moving the environment detection unit, the environment detection unit having an end face facing the protective element and two has adjoining side surfaces and wherein a pressing element for pressing on the protective element during the extension of the environment detection unit and a separate closing element for closing the protective element during retraction of the environment detection unit are formed on at least one of the side surfaces.

A workpiece carrier consisting of a table adapter and a workpiece carrier base. The table adapter of the workpiece carrier is detachably mounted on a table of a measuring device or a machine tool. At least three different support points are arranged between the table adapter and the workpiece carrier base. A first support point comprises one rotary body and three balls. A second support point comprises a rotary body and two balls. A third support point comprises two contact elements. The table adapter and the workpiece carrier base can be clamped against each other after mutual positioning by means of a clamping system.

A six DOF measurement aid module for determining 3D coordinates of points to be measured of an object surface, comprising a laser tracker for determining the position and orientation of the six DOF measurement aid module. The six DOF measurement aid module has a body comprising an object coupling device with an object interface, configured to couple, via the object interface, alternatively both a handle to the body with a fixed pose and the body to a mobile platform with a fixed pose, a sensor attachment coupling device with a sensor interface-configured to couple alternatively both a sensor attachment effecting non-contact measurement and a sensor attachment effecting tactile measurement to the body with a fixed pose via the sensor interface, and visual markings, which are arranged in a defined spatial relationship in a manner forming a pattern in a marking region on the body.

An apparatus for measuring a deformation distribution of an object having a longitudinal dimension comprises a structure for supporting the object. A sensor unit comprises a base, a contact member having a body connected to the base by a rotational joint such rotational degrees of freedom are provided between the base and the contact member, an end of the body configured to contact and move along the object, and at least one sensor for determining an orientation of the body relative to the base. A displacement module enables relative movement between the sensor unit and the structure for the sensor unit to relatively move along the object in the longitudinal dimension. A method and system for measuring a rigidity distribution of an object having a longitudinal dimension are also provided.

A probe device for a rotating head has at least one support arm that is mounted so as to rotate around an axis of rotation, at least one probe that is joined to the support arm, and at least one spring element that can be supported on the rotating head and engages at the support arm and that is provided for exerting a force on the support arm, which, as a result of this force, experiences a torque with respect to the axis of rotation. The support arm has at least one mount, which is concentric with the axis of rotation, for the spring element, which, when arranged on the mount, is bent at least in part around the axis of rotation. As a consequence, centrifugal forces that act on the spring element when the rotating head is in operation have no influence on the tension of the spring element.

An automatic nut internal thread quality tester is provided. The automatic nut internal thread quality tester includes a blanking module, a clamping module, a push rod module, a thread gauge driving module, and an axial pushing module. The blanking module is configured to control the nuts to be tested be blanked in series. The clamping module is configured to clamp the to-be-tested nut. The push rod module is configured to push the to-be-tested nut into the clamping module and restrict the blanking. A thread gauge of the thread gauge driving module is driven by a motor to detect the to-be-tested nut. When a torque measured by a torque sensor is greater than a threshold value, the motor reverses the thread gauge and the axial pushing module drives the clamping module away from the thread gauge.

Embodiments described herein provide a mobile CMM jogbox that includes one or more ergonomic apparatuses configured and disposed to allow a CMM operator to hold and operate the jogbox, while avoiding or mitigating the fatigue of an operator using the jogbox.
