Disclosed is a hole wall thickness gauge. In the technical solution, a deburring function and a measurement function are integrated, and measurement is completed while deburring is completed. The hole wall thickness gauge is ingenious in design, flexible and high in efficiency and has a quite high practical application value.

The current invention is directed to a medical implant made of bulk-solidifying amorphous alloys and methods of making such medical implants, wherein the medical implants are biologically, mechanically, and morphologically compatible with the surrounding implanted region of the body.

A method bonds a first member to a second member. The method provides a first member having a bonding surface. A second member is molded from a metal material so as to have a surface constructed and arranged to be bonded to the bonding surface. The surface of the second member is laser trimmed to remove material and to remove byproducts, resulting from molding the second member, from the surface of the second member to thereby define a clean, laser trimmed surface of the second member. A sealant is provided between and in contact with the bonding surface and the clean, laser trimmed surface. The sealant is permitted to cure to thereby bond the first member to the second member.

A turbine blade has a blade geometry defined in a coordinate system and at least one cavity which is open to the outside and which has a blade internal surface. At least one planar detection surface, which is accessible for the measuring head of a coordinate measuring device, is formed in the blade internal surface, wherein the at least one planar detection surface is assigned a defined design position and/or a defined design orientation with respect to the coordinate system in which the blade geometry is defined.

The invention relates to a method for producing a helix (2). A permanent mold with mold halves which can be joined together on a mold separation plane is provided. The mold halves of the permanent mold are joined together such that the permanent mold has a cavity, which defines the shape of the helix (2) or the shape of a bent-up helix, when the permanent mold is joined together. The specified helix (2) or the bent-up helix has a flattened profiled winding cross-section which has two opposite flat faces (2.1, 2.1′), an outer face and an inner face (2.3) opposite the outer face. The mold separation plane runs at least partly along the flat faces (2.1, 2.1′) from the inner face to the outer face (2.3), wherein the permanent mold has a bulge (2.5) which extends along the mold separation plane and protrudes into the cavity at least in a region in which the mold separation plane runs along one of the flat faces (2.1, 2.1′) such that the cast body is provided with recesses (2.5) on the flat faces (2.1, 2.1′). The invention further relates to a permanent mold for carrying out the method and to a helix which has been produced using the method or using the permanent mold.

A system for separating a part from a monolithic tree includes a camera positioned facing the tree and configured to identify a cut mark on a gate of the tree, the tree including a runner, the part connected to the runner with the gate, each of the runner, the gate, and the part including a cast material; and a robotic arm configured to manipulate at least one of an orientation and a position of the tree.

A method of manufacturing a casting is provided and includes establishing desired dimensions of a nominal casting, executing a casting process to produce multiple actual castings with each of the multiple actual castings having respective dimensions that differ from each other and from the desired dimensions of the nominal casting and engaging one or more tools to adaptively machine, without rigidly-programmed toolpaths, each of the multiple actual castings to reduce the respective differences between the actual dimensions of each of the multiple actual castings and the desired dimensions.

The invention relates to a roller casting method for producing a spiral structure, in particular a spiral structure for use in electric machines. Molten metal is supplied between a first roller and a second roller miming opposite thereto, wherein the first roller has first teeth, and the second roller has second teeth, said first and/or second teeth having tooth flanks with cavities for receiving the supplied molten metal. The teeth are designed and aligned such that the cavity of at least one tooth is at least temporarily delimited by the surface of a tooth of the other roller when the rollers are rotating such that the supplied molten metal is molded between the teeth while cooling and is molded into a section of the spiral structure.

The invention relates to a method for producing a helix (2), having a step of providing a permanent mold (1) with mold halves (1.1, 1.2) which can be joined together on a mold parting line (1.5). The method additionally has a step of joining together the mold halves (1.1, 1.2) of the permanent mold (1) such that the permanent mold (1) has a cavity (1.3), which defines the shape of the helix (2) or the shape of a bent-up helix (2′), when the permanent mold is joined together, wherein the specified helix (2) or the bent-up helix (2′) has a flattened profiled winding cross-section which has two opposite flat sides (2.1, 2.1′), an outer side (2.2) and an inner side (2.3) opposite the outer side (2.2), and the mold parting line (1.5) runs at least partly along the outer side (2.2) and/or the inner side (2.1) and/or edges of the profiled winding cross-section. The method additionally has a step of removing burrs (3) extending on the outer side (2.2) and/or the inner side (2.3) and/or the edges of the cast body on the mold parting line (1.5). The invention further relates to a permanent mold for carrying out the method and to a helix which has been produced using the method or using the permanent mold.
