A NEW-GENERATION OF WIDE-RANGE MULTIFUNCTIONAL OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICESFOR THE MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL OF LINEAR DIMENSIONS AND DISPLACEMENTS

An analysis is given of the work of the Scientific Research Institute of Measurement in recent years on the creation of a complex of devices for measurement and control based on optoelectronic incremental displ acement transducers. The demands made by modem mechanical engineering to the new generation of devices are formulated, and it is shown to be possible to satisfy them using incremental transducers. The results a re given of a study made as a preliminary to the development of the ne w generation of measuring devices. The characteristics are given of th e main group of measuring and control devices developed: multipurpose high-accuracy measuring systems, active control instruments, automated devices for controlling external and internal dimensions, and devices for controlling the kinematic error of toothed wheels.
