A device is disclosed for measuring the geometry of the inner wall of bores, drill holes and passages, which are optionally countersunk, and in particular for threaded, pin, and rivet connections of workpieces, said device comprising at least one optical sensor measuring towards the inner wall and capable of being introduced into the drill hole and rotated via a feed/rotating unit, wherein an auxiliary object is provided with a passage and rests on the surface of the workpiece, through which passage said sensor is inserted into the countersink and/or bore. The device is characterized in that the inner wall of the auxiliary object is provided with a structure and that the sensor scans said structure(s) while passing through the auxiliary object. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method.

Device for measuring the geometry of the inner wall of bores and corresponding method

A method for measuring the thickness on measurement objects, whereby at least one sensor measures against the object from the top and at least one other sensor measures against the object from the bottom and, at a known distance of the sensors to one another, the thickness of the object is calculated according to the formula D=Gap&#x2212;(S1+S2), whereby D=the thickness of the measurement object, Gap=the distance between the sensors, S1=the distance of the top sensor to the upper side of the measurement object, and S2=the distance of the bottom sensor to the underside of the measurement object, is characterized by the compensation of a measurement error caused by tilting of the measurement object and/or by displacement of the sensors and/or by tilting of the sensors, whereby the displacement and/or the tilting is determined by calibration and the calculated thickness or the calculated thickness profile is corrected accordingly. The invention further concerns a device for applying the method.

Method for thickness measurement on measurement objects and device for applying the method

The invention relates to a sensor element for an inductive sensor used for a displacement or distance measurement by means of a magnetic field that varies according to the distance from the measurement object but that remains temporally constant. In said sensor, thin ferromagnetic material is integrated into a substrate. The invention also relates to a sensor comprising said sensor element and to a method for producing the sensor element.

Inductive sensor comprising integrated soft magnetic layer and method for the production thereof

A method for detecting magnetic fields, particularly for detecting the position of objects with a preferably oblong, soft-magnetic element, which is connected to electronics, with via the electronics the impedance of the soft-magnetic material is measured, characterized in that a magnetic field is used in which by the position of an object which is located in an arrangement with the soft-magnetic material the magnetic field develops at the location of the soft-magnetic material, with the magnetic permeability &#x3bc; of the soft-magnetic material adjusting, depending on the magnetic field and thus the position of the object. A respective device serves for applying the method according to the invention.
