Devices and methods for quickly and accurately measuring the distance between two carriers of item processing equipment. The devices and methods can include an elongate bar and associated components which may increase the magnitude of lengths that can be measured.

A measurement device includes: a probe part including a probe configured to measure a surface of an object to be measured and is attached so as to swing around a swing center according to a shape of the surface of the object to be measured; a scale configured to measure displacement by swinging of the probe part; a scale head configured to read a scale mark of the scale; and an arm part to which the probe part is attached, the arm part is attached so as to swing around the swing center integrally with the probe part, and the scale is attached to the arm part. When thermal expansion coefficients of the probe part, the arm part and the scale are α, β and γ respectively, the measurement device satisfies a condition of

[00001]$\left(\alpha +\gamma \right)-1\text{}/\text{}2\alpha \text{}\le \text{}\beta \text{}\le \text{}\left(\alpha +\gamma \right)+1\text{}/\text{}2\alpha .$

A checking fixture for a steering knuckle. In use, a workpiece is mounted on the checking fixture, three locating points of the workpiece in the X direction respectively correspond to a supporting pin I, a supporting pin II and a supporting pin III, a locating taper hole limiting the motion of the workpiece in a YZ plane corresponds to the floating pin, and a locating point of the workpiece in the Y direction levelly fit to a supporting surface of a locating pin; after location is completed, the workpiece is tightly clamped by a jacking clamp, a press clamp I and a press clamp II. The checking fixture for the steering knuckle can measure the position accuracy of each hole of the steering knuckle workpiece, and can detect whether the relative height of the flange plane of the workpiece relative to the X-direction locating points is qualified.

In an optical components automatic alignment robot, a motorized target moves closer or further from a digital camera being tested or assembled. A light sensor is used to automatically calibrate an ultraviolet (UV) or other light source used for curing adhesive. An automatic surface finder is used to accurately and repeatably find a surface on which adhesive is to be dispensed.
