Abstract
This measuring arrangement (1) enables the self-calibration of cylindrical parts (2) in the course of machining and interrupts such machining when a predetermined dimension has been attained. It comprises a head (5) exhibiting a V opening bearing on the part to be measured (2) and a pneumatic sensor (10) associated therewith. The system includes coupling means (25, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32), urging means (33, 34) and sustaining means (39) for the head in order to assure a permanent contact between the part to be measured and contact pieces (8, 9) carried on the V opening. The arrangement offers a very small thickness so that it may attain narrow and deep zones as for example those of cylindrical crankshaft bearings.
