Abstract :
The paper presents a discussion of the types of analog transducers in use today for the automatic control of machine tools. Mentioned are comparator type transducers as used in tracer heads as well as direct measuring type transducers used for numerical positioning and numerical contouring controls. Types of transducers are classified and discussed from the standpoint of application and expected accuracy.
