A modular force-measuring cell is disclosed which includes a force transducer equipped with sensors that measure changes occurring in the state of the force transducer as a result of a force or temperature. The force-measuring cell also includes a memory module for storing compensation data associated with the modular force-measuring cell. The memory module and at least one converter circuit for the conversion of the signals delivered by the sensors are arranged in a circuit module that is mechanically and thermally coupled to the force transducer.

Modular force-measuring cell for a weighing scale, and weighing scale

The invention relates to a measuring device for thread-like test samples ( ), comprising a measuring slit ( ) exhibiting measuring areas ( ) for measuring characteristics of a test sample which moves longitudinally, said measuring areas being associated to a measuring device. A coating ( ) made of an abrasion-resistant material is applied over the whole measuring slit and its measuring areas ( ) in order to define more freely the dimensions of said measuring slit and especially to obtain a narrower measuring slit.

Measuring device for thread-like test samples

A method and apparatus for cutting yarn ( ) on a textile machine having a blade ( ) which is supplied with kinetic energy via a drive ( ). To be able to generate at all times a sufficient yet not excessive cutting power the kinetic energy is delivered in doses and rated in accordance with properties of the yarn and/or device. The drive thus comprises a device ( ) for rating the kinetic energy of the blade.

Capacitor charged yarn cutting apparatus

The invention relates to a yarn sensor for scanning a yarn (2), which is moving in its longitudinal direction in a measuring gap (3), with a light beam from a light source (4), having a first receiver (7) for directly transmitted light, at least one second receiver (5, 6) for light reflected by the yarn and one element each (8, 9, 10, 11) for transmitting the light between the measuring gap, the light source and a receiver. To keep the overall size and the external dimensions as small as possible, the optical axes (12-15) of the elements for transmitting the light are disposed together in one plane lying at least approximately at right angles to the yarn.
