Abstract

A rotation measuring device 10 including a proximity switch 14 detecting rotational speed of an object to be measured, a controller 11 receiving pulse signals from the switch 14, and a display 34 connected to the controller 11, the controller 11 including a rotational speed calculation means, the device 10 calculating the rotational speed based on the pulse signals by the rotational speed calculation means and indicating the rotational speed on the display 34, the controller 11 including: a standard rotational speed setting means for setting a measured rotational speed as a standard rotational speed by button operation; an upper and lower limits setting means for setting maximum and minimum rotational speeds based on the standard rotational speed; and a warning signal generating means generating warning signal outputs when the rotational speed is over the maximum rotational speed or below the minimum rotational speed.

Claims

1. A rotation measuring device including a proximity switch detecting rotational speed of an object to be measured, a controller receiving pulse signals from the proximity switch, and a display connected to the controller, the controller including a rotational speed calculation means, the rotation measuring device calculating the rotational speed of the object based on the pulse signals by the rotational speed calculation means and indicating the rotational speed of the object on the display, the controller comprising:

a standard rotational speed setting means setting a measured rotational speed as a standard rotational speed by button operation;

an upper and lower limits setting means setting a maximum rotational speed and a minimum rotational speed based on the standard rotational speed; and

a warning signal generating means generating warning signal outputs when the rotational speed of the object is over the maximum rotational speed or below the minimum rotational speed.

2. The rotation measuring device as defined in claim 1, wherein the controller includes a start timer disabling the rotational speed calculation means after a power is turned on.

3. The rotation measuring device as defined in claim 2, wherein the warning signal outputs include a contact output and a non-contact output.
