  • Patent number: 10539417
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method for determining dimensional properties of a measurement object using a coordinate measuring machine. An image representation of the measurement object is shown to a user and the user selects a first geometric element of the measurement object, resulting in the display of eligible test features for the selected first geometric element. The eligible test features are automatically determined from a plurality of typical test features stored in a database, by the selected first geometric element being assigned to one of a plurality of predefined measurement elements stored in the database. A defined measurement sequence is generated in a computer-assisted manner based on the test feature selected by the user. Individual measured values are recorded on the first geometric element using the defined measurement sequence.

  • Patent number: 10424914
    Abstract: A protective circuit protects against overheating of the stator windings of an EC motor. The stator windings are connected to a semiconductor output stage which is designed for time-offset control of the stator windings using a driver circuit of a commutation controller. The protective circuit has two redundant sensor circuits, wherein two resistance-dependent sensor elements connected in series are provided in the first sensor circuit and one resistance-dependent sensor element is provided in the second sensor circuit. The first and the second sensor circuits are connected, respectively, to two evaluating circuits separated from each other and cause an interruption of the driver circuit using switch-off means when a system-specific resistance value of the first sensor element or the one sensor element associated with the second sensor circuit is reached.

  • Patent number: 9529038
    Abstract: An electronic control circuit for an electronically commutated motor (ECM) is disclosed. A plurality of power transistors controls the ECM, and a reference transistor is formed together with the power transistors on a common support. A control unit is configured to, in a test mode: apply a test current to the reference transistor and one of the power transistors respectively; measure a saturation voltage of the reference transistor and one of the power transistors; evaluate a saturation voltage difference between the measured saturation voltages of the reference transistor and the respective power transistor; evaluate a rate of change of saturation voltage differences between a first iteration of the test mode and a second iteration of the test mode; and determine an expected remaining service life of the power transistors based on the temperature of the support during the test mode and the rate of change of the saturation voltage differences.

  • Patent number: 8640347
    Abstract: A hand-operated jigsaw is disclosed. The reciprocating drive mechanism has a reciprocating body which can be put into a reciprocating motion along an axis via an eccentric of an eccentric wheel that can be set in motion by the motor. The eccentric wheel is arranged on a pivot bearing axis. The reciprocating drive mechanism has an additional mass with a mass center of gravity to minimize vibrations. The additional mass is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner with the eccentric wheel on the pivot bearing axis. An eccentric axis of the eccentric lies on a first radial of the pivot bearing axis, which is offset from a second radial in the operating direction of rotation of the eccentric wheel at an angle of between 190° and 270°, which second radial lies between the mass center of gravity of the additional mass and the pivot bearing axis.
