Patent number: 9199296Abstract: In some aspects, a sheet metal processing system includes a machine tool with a processing station at which metal sheets can be processed by a processing tool, a tool carrier for receiving a processing tool, a transfer device by which the processing tool can be moved to or from the tool carrier, and a tool change apparatus which, due to a controlled positioning movement, can be arranged in a tool change position. The processing tool is exchangeable between the tool carrier and the transfer device by the tool change apparatus. The positioning movement is controllable on the basis of a position of the transfer device and/or a position of the tool carrier.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: TRUMPF Sachsen GmbHInventor: Marcus Busch

Patent number: 9138843Abstract: A device for handling workpieces at a workpiece support defining a workpiece support plane includes a bearing structure extending with a main plane of the bearing structure parallel to the workpiece support plane. The bearing structure has bearing structure segments arranged next to one another parallel to the main plane, and the bearing structure segments define a planar extent of the bearing structure in the main plane. The device includes a guide device for the bearing structure segments, and the bearing structure segments are guided on the guide device such that the bearing structure segments can be positioned parallel to the main plane of the bearing structure. The device also includes retaining elements provided with the bearing structure segments, and the retaining elements are configured to be positioned on a workpiece and to be handled to fix the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: TRUMPF Sachsen GmbHInventors: Marcus Busch, Philipp Drechsler

Patent number: 7461673Abstract: A closure device for tank filler necks in motor vehicles. The closure device has the object of configuring the tank filling operation to be more comfortable. This objective is achieved in that at least two closure elements are swivel-mounted on the tank filler neck, the closure elements having insertion bevels on their top that are designed in such a way that when a fuel nozzle is placed on them the closure elements swivel and open the tank filler neck.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2004Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Alfred Engelmann Holding GmbHInventors: Marcus Busch, Etzhard Bultmann
