  • Publication number: 20230356364
    Abstract: This clamping tool uses optical distance verification with a laser. Clamping tools, like all tools, are known to be operated improperly. Many tools verify process completion by monitoring the pressure within the pneumatic tool. Previous qualifiers use pressure to determine many things. However, it often misses if a small object impedes a full stroke. With the addition of an optical laser sensor, we are able to determine if a clamping tool reaches full stroke.

  • Patent number: 11811248
    Abstract: A system for generator-based charging of a battery module may include the battery module, a sensor located adjacent the battery module, a generator controller comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory device storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the generator controller to analyze one or more sensor signals received from the sensor. The sensor signals may correspond to a condition of the battery module. The generator controller may then calculate, based on the one or more sensor signals, a generator current value for use in charging the battery module. Next, the generator controller may generate a control signal comprising a command that may cause the generator to provide a charging current having the current value.

  • Patent number: 11701758
    Abstract: An electric portable power tool, having a housing, a shaft, a control cam, an electric drive accommodated in the housing to drive the drive shaft, and an output unit that is positively connected with the drive via a mechanical shut-off clutch to transfer torque from the drive to an insertion tool connected with the output unit. The mechanical shut-off clutch comprises a control ring that is axially mounted against the force of the return spring and at least one switch element that is run on the control cam. The control cam is delimited at one end by a first switching contour for providing a release torque of the shut-off clutch and by a boundary contour at another end. The control cam is associated with a second switching contour for providing a pre-torque which is less than the release torque.

  • Patent number: 11590584
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool device which is suitable for use with a machine tool, in particular a hand guided machine tool, having a driving device moving, in particular in an oscillating manner, around a driving axis. The tool device has an attachment device which allows it to be fastened on a machine tool such that its driving axis and an axis of rotation of the tool substantially coincide. The attachment device, for absorbing the driving force, has at least two driving area regions, which are spaced apart from said tool axis of rotation and each has a plurality of surface points. The tangent planes to said surface-area points are inclined in regard to an axial plane, which encloses the tool axis of rotation. Furthermore, said tangent planes are inclined regard to a radial plane which extends perpendicularly to the tool axis of rotation. This means that the torque introduced into the tool device by the machine tool, via the driving device, is reliably absorbed.
