Device for measuring the angular orientation of the axis.

摘要

Device for measuring angular orientation axis.A device for measuring the opening angle of a universal joint in a tree system of transmission, without any physical contact with the components of the tree system of transmission.The system of drive shaft may include first and second shafts, which are connected together by a universal joint.The device includes a first sensor to generate a first signal that is representative of the angular orientation of the first axis relative to the horizontal and a second sensor to generate a second SinaL that is representative of the angular orientation of the second axis relative to the horizontal.Each of the first and second sensors may include a pair of sensors without contact, such as a pair of laser distance sensors that are mounted on a base.A controller is responsive to the first and second signals to determine the angle of the universal joint.
