Setting device for nails, bolts, pins etc. has at least one sensor array arranged on guide for drive piston to generate measurement data pattern for evaluation by monitoring device

摘要

The attachment element (49) setting device has a setting mechanism containing a drive piston (15) movable in a guide (17) and an electronic monitoring device for the status of the setting device. At least one sensor array (21,22), e.g. using Hall effect or other magnetic field-sensitive devices, is arranged on the guide to generate a measurement data pattern for evaluation by the monitoring device. An independent claim is included for a method of detecting wear on wearing parts of an inventive device.
