COMPENDIUM INCLINATION MEASUREMENT
WYLER AG, WINTERTHUR / SWITZERLAND

M
MONITORING OF SIX TOWERS AT A DOUBLE SLUICEONITORING OF SIX TOWERS AT A DOUBLE SLUICE
Subject:
The sluice is almost 100 years old and consists of two parallel
sluices. The vertical gates put a heavy strain on the six towers,
which is the reason why continuous monitoring is required.
Measuring task / Goal:
Each of the six towers should be permanently monitored with
suitable inclination sensors along the X and Y planes. The mea-
suring values should be transmitted online to the local water
authority, thus facilitating the ability to sound alarms in timely
fashion.

HEELING MEASUREMENT ON CARGO SHIPS
Subject:
Part of the homologation and certification of a ship is the measu-
ring of the heeling: The buoyancy is measured as a function of the
load and specifically of the maximal load. By pumping water into
the ballast tanks, or by loading containers, the heeling of the ship
is changed. Thereby certain limits of heeling may not be exceeded.
Measuring task / Goal:
On a ship that is at anchor in a harbor and tightened to the wharf,
the inclination, or heeling, should be measured during a loading
test.

LARGE GRINDING MACHINE WITH FLAT GUIDEWAYS
Subject:
A manufacturer of large ground stock has several large surface
grinding machines in his workshop. The geometry of these ma-
chines has to be checked periodically, the results documented,
and where required, to be corrected. To solve this task professi-
onally, the maintenance department responsible has decided to
acquire a WYLER measuring system. .

Measuring task / Goal:
On a surface grinding machine with 18-meter-long guideways set
1.3 m apart, the co-parallelism of the two guideways has to be
checked periodically. The guideways have to be within a plane
with a maximum tolerance (error) of less than 0.1 mm. The com-
plete machine and its guideways can be adjusted by means of
supporting screws placed at 750 mm intervals.
