METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE DIMENSIONS OF A SHEET METAL PARTS, AND A SHEET METAL PROCESSING SYSTEM WHICH UTILIZES SUCH MEASURING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A sheet metal processing system includes a first sheet metal processing machine (10), a first sheet metal processing machine terminal (12) for controlling the operations of the first sheet metal processing machine (10), a first measuring apparatus (14) for measuring the dimensions of a product or part processed by the first sheet metal processing machine (10), a second sheet metal processing machine (20), a second sheet metal processing machine terminal (22) for controlling the operations of the second sheet metal processing machine (20), and a second measuring apparatus (24) for measuring the dimensions of a product or part processed by the second sheet metal processing machine (20). Each terminal (12, 22) includes a display apparatus (16, 26) for displaying the sites to be measured by each measuring apparatus (14, 24). Each measuring apparatus (14, 24) includes transmitter (14a, 24a) for transmitting measured dimensions to a receiver (12a, 22a) proveded in each terminal.
