Abstract
Abstract A machine is disclosed for testing of the oppositely located position of mechanical thread and a contact shoulder associated therewith on a pipe. A first measuring support is movably supported on a guide block in a first direction of movement and a second measuring support is resiliently supported on the first support in a linearly second direction of movement. First and second measuring heads are provided for movement in the first and second directions for measuring the threads and shoulder positions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
221 words
Arrangement for a processing machine for the testing of the mutual position of a conical threading and a contact shoulder associated therewith through the intermediary of a sensing device, wherein a first measuring support is supported on a guide block, and is moveable relative to said guide block in a first direction of movement, a second measuring support is resiliently supported, on the first measuring support and said second support is moveable in a linear second direction of movement; a first measuring head is moveable towards the threading in the first direction of movement, and a second measuring head is moveable against the contact shoulder in the said second direction of movement, comprising for the movement of the first measuring head (20) against the threading (28;35) the first measuring head (7) is displaceable in the first direction of movement linearly relative to the guide block (1, 4) and the first direction of movement is located at an angle of 90° relative to the second direction of movement and that a first sensing device (14) detects the path of displacement of the first measuring support (7) or the first measuring head (20) in the said first direction of movement; a second sensing device (24) determines the path of displacement of the second measuring head (26) in the said second direction of movement.
