METHOD TO OPTIMISE MEASUREMENT CYCLE OF CONTACT DEVICE OF POSITION CONTROL Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01B21/04 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to means for determination of process parameters of position control devices, namely, optimal indention of a measurement sensor from the surface of the controlled object. The proposed method for determination of optimal safe indention for measurements of the position on the surface, performed by the position control device, comprising a measurement sensor, consists in determination of the optimal indention using at least one measured characteristic of acceleration of the position control device, besides, the optimal indentation is the initial distance of the measurement sensor from the point on the surface of the object before the measurement sensor starts moving in direction towards the point on the object for measurement of position of this point on this object. The position control device comprises a measurement sensor for performance of position determination on the surface, a machine-tool automated system with numerical control with a spindle, in which the measurement sensor may be retained in a detachable manner, and a processor for calculation of optimal indentation for measurements of the position on the surface.

EFFECT: inventions make it possible to optimise time of a measurement cycle.
