Abstract
A programming device for providing a signal relating to movement of a movable device. An inner part is connected to the part of the device to be programmed. A casing, which is controlled by the programmer's hand, surrounds the inner part. Measuring systems, which measure relative movements between the casing and the inner part resulting from moving the casing are placed between the inner part and the casing. These measuring systems consist of a sliding carriage moving linearly on the inner part and a ball located between two pins which are connected to the casing. The pins are surrounded by springs which are fixed, on one hand, to the casing and, on the other hand, to arms of the carriage guide. Movements of the sliding carriage relative to the inner part are measured.
