Abstract: Separation station (1) with a plurality of separation units (34) for separating carbon dioxide and/or water vapour from ambient air, wherein each separation unit (34) comprises at least one contiguous and sealing circumferential wall circumferentially enclosing at least one cavity (24), said at least one contiguous and sealing circumferential wall defining an upstream opening (35) and an opposed downstream opening (36), said cavity (24) containing at least one gas adsorption structure (25) for adsorbing said at least one gaseous component, preferably under ambient pressure and/or temperature conditions, wherein said plurality of separation units (34) is arranged in at least one essentially vertical collector wall structure (2), laterally enclosing one single common separation station cavity (21), and wherein to the upper side, said separation station cavity (21) is covered and closed by at least one cover unit (1) with at least one air propelling device (10).

Abstract: To increase cycle time, and therefore to lower production costs, in the industrial production of welded sheet metal parts—in particular tailored blanks for the automotive industry—the invention describes a method based on a constant-speed conveying system and a flying optics system, which method manages without complex cooling of the hot weld seam and uses means for holding the workpieces on one side with a high force on the conveyor belt. In this way it is possible greatly to reduce the negative influence the blank spacing has on the cycle time of the machine. Overall, fewer drives are required in the machine and it is possible for a simplified machine concept to be employed without detriment to the quality of the blanks to be welded.
