MAGNETOSTRICTION TOUCH TRANSDUCER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01B7/12 G01B17/00 

FIELD: measurement technology.

SUBSTANCE: transducer is designed for use in automated processing equipment with system of coordinate measurements of geometric parameters of objects. Proposed transducer has housing 1 on magnetostriction measuring head including probe 2 with tip 3, locating element 4, spring 5, readout element 6 and also amplifier-limiter 7, univibrator 8, recording unit 9, indicating unit 10, input and output buses 11 and 12, 13. At moment of contact of tip 3 of measuring probe 2 with surface of object under checking mechanical pulses are generated which are converted into electric signals of required waveform which are considered as reference points of measurements of geometric parameters of object relative to digital measuring scale. Support coordinate is set by moment of getting of start signal of measuring transportation.

EFFECT: increased reliability of transformation, provision of quick response, simplified design of transport.
