    摘要: An object pickup system includes an object pickup device and a calculation device. The object pickup device includes a first bracket, a suction cup installed on the first bracket and adapted to be affixed to a top surface of an object, and a distance sensor installed on the first bracket and adapted to rotate with the first bracket to scan the top surface of the object. The calculation device is operatively connected to the distance sensor. The calculation device is adapted to calculate a distance from the top surface of the object to the distance sensor and a position of an edge of an opening on the top surface of the object based on the distance data collected by the distance sensor during a scanning operation.

    摘要: A sheet processing machine comprises a receiving area (38) for collecting a sheet pile and a device (36) for determining the height of the sheet pile. The device (36) comprises a manually displaceable first sensor element arranged at a first side (48) of the receiving area (38), and an automatically displaceable second sensor element (50) arranged at an opposite side (52) of the receiving area (38) such that the first and second sensor elements (50) are arranged opposite each other along a width direction of the receiving area (38). The first sensor element and the second sensor element (50) are displaceable along a length direction of the sheet receiving area (38), wherein the first sensor element is one of a light emitting source and a light receiving sensor (56) and the second sensor element (50) is the other one of a light emitting source and a light receiving sensor (56). The light emitting source and the light receiving sensor (56) form a light barrier (58) along the width direction when facing each other.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for detecting a traverse winding defect when winding a link (L) on a spool (1) rotatably driven about a longitudinal axis (X), the link (L) being alternately translationally guided relative to the spool (1) by a guide pulley (2) along said longitudinal axis (X) between two reversal positions, comprising:

    measuring the position of the guide pulley (2) relative to the spool (1) along the longitudinal axis (X) over time,
    measuring the position (P2) of a regulation device for regulating the advance speed of the link on the guide pulley over time,
    from said measurements, determining a deviation between the position (P3) of the regulation device and a reference position (P3r) at each reversal position (Pi1,Pi2), and
    from said deviation, detecting the formation of a hollow or bump in the winding.
