Publication number: 20090105972Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the determination of the electrical work in systems in which the voltage is switched. At preset times for this purpose current values are measured and interpolated between the measurement. With the help of the switched voltage a classification of each interpolated current path is performed. The interpolated current value is then multiplied or integrated by the voltage value/values between the preset times respectively for the determination of the work. Along with the electrical work moreover in accordance with a further method similarly the electrical power in such systems can be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2008Publication date: April 23, 2009Applicant: VOITH PATENT GMBHInventors: Andreas Lange, Rolf Hoffmann, Volker Weber, Bernhard Lang

Publication number: 20080216623Abstract: The invention provides for the replacement of the cutting plate (15) and the press die (16) to be carried out automatically, specifically with the aid of a positioning device for positioning the stack of printed sheets (11) to be trimmed under the press die (16). In this way, the automatic conversion of the automatic three-knife trimmer for a format change is possible without a significant change to the automatic three-knife trimmer. Only the control system of the positioning device has to be changed and expanded. The positioning device (21) automatically ensures that the new press die (16) and the new cutting plate (15) are positioned exactly. In particular, the positioning of the die plate (19) under the format plate (18) can be carried out automatically by means of the positioning device with the required high accuracy, to be specific with higher accuracy than would be possible manually.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2008Publication date: September 11, 2008Inventors: Rolf Hansmann, Andreas Lange, Bernd Lustermann
