DIGITAL PRESSURE SENSOR
A digital pressure sensor includes a substrate, a pressure sensing structure configured for measuring a pressure of an object to be measured, a signal processing chip configured for receiving a sensing signal of the pressure sensing structure, and a rubber cover having an opening through which the pressure is sensed. The pressure sensing structure and the signal processing chip are mounted on the substrate. The signal processing chip has an analog-digital conversion module that converts the sensing signal output by the pressure sensing structure into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal. The signal processing chip is electrically connected to the substrate. The substrate and the rubber cover are connected to each other and form a mounting cavity for holding the pressure sensing structure and the signal processing chip.

CONTACT MONITORING ON A SPINDLE OF A MACHINE TOOL
The invention relates to a device for monitoring the contact of a workpiece (1) or tool on a spindle (2) of a machine tool, which device has a contact surface (3) for the workpiece (1) or tool. At least one measurement nozzle (4) is arranged in the region of the contact surface in order to produce a fluid flow directed away from the contact surface (3). Upstream of the measurement nozzle, the fluid flow is conducted through a vacuum nozzle, which can comprise a jet nozzle (7c) and a collector nozzle (7b).
