Publication number: 20210397165Abstract: An automated assembly and contacting of electrical components are disclosed. Before a fed component is gripped, a control device of a mounting device for mounting and contacting electrical components is provided with information associated with the component comprising, in relation to a component coordinate system of the component, the position, orientation and a relevant length of electrical connections of the component, and the position and type of handling of the handling locations of the component. A position and an orientation of the component in relation to a machine coordinate system are known to the control device. Using the position and the orientation of the component in the machine coordinate system, the control device converts the positions and orientations defined by the information associated with the component into the machine coordinate system and takes the positions and orientations into account when gripping and assembling the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2019Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Richard GEORGI, HANS-PETER KASPARICK, NILS KROEMER, MIRKO LÖFFLER, MARTIN THIELE

Patent number: 9791397Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting contact of a tool (2a, 2b) with an electrical conductor (5b) encased by an electrical insulation (5a). In order to ensure a reliable, robust and simple display of the tool-conductor contact for potential-free and short cable lengths, the tool (2a, 2b) consisting of an electrically conductive material is fastened to a tool holder (1a; 1b) made of electrically conductive material. A thin electrical insulation is provided between tool (2a, 2b) and tool holder (1a, 1b) so that these components together with the coaxial cable form a capacitor (CS). An inductance (La; Lb) is connected parallel to this so that a high-Q LC resonant circuit is formed between tool and tool holder. The electronic circuit arrangement excites the resonant circuit and determines characteristic oscillation parameters of this resonant circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Schleuniger Holding AGInventors: Raphael Deschler, Michael Jost, Roland Kampmann, Martin Thiele

Publication number: 20110318164Abstract: The means of sealing the compressor wheel with respect to the bearing housing includes an annular sealing element which forms a sealing boundary face with a shaft edge and to which a spring force is applied in the direction of the shaft edge. The external spring force neither compensates or amplifies the pressure forces acting on the sealing element, irrespective of the direction of the difference in pressure. As a result, the sealing of the oil space in the bearing housing of the exhaust gas turbocharger with respect to the shaft is not influenced, or is influenced only to a small degree, by the pressure fluctuations in the wheel back space of the compressor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2011Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: ABB Turbo Systems AGInventors: Adrian Kopp, Christoph Häge, Martin Thiele

Patent number: 6190123Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a method of operating a simply constructed centrifugal compressor equipped, in the region of the rear wall of the compressor impeller, with no sealing elements in the separating gap between the compressor impeller and the compressor casing, which method increases the service life of the centrifugal compressor. An appliance for carrying out the method is also to be made available. In accordance with the invention, this is achieved by introducing a cooling medium into the separating gap downstream of the leakage flow of the working medium and by finally removing this again after the cooling process has taken place. For this purpose, at least one supply duct for a gaseous cooling medium, the duct penetrating the compressor casing, opening into the separating gap in the region of the rear wall of the compressor impeller and directed onto the rear wall, and at least one removal duct for the cooling medium are arranged in the compressor casing.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Asea Brown Boverti AGInventors: Dirk Wunderwald, Martin Thiele

Patent number: 5462637Abstract: A process for the fabrication of thin film magnetic heads from a wafer is disclosed that provides improved stud adhesion, reduced risk of contamination, and elimination of corrosive elements along the magnetic pole tips. The process includes the steps of forming a first pole tip, forming simultaneously a second pole tip, lead straps and a layer at each stud location from plated pole tip material; applying a thin overcoat layer to the wafer; applying a first mask with an opening over each stud; removing the overcoat material in each opening with a noncorrosive etchant to expose the stud layer; removing the mask; applying a NiFe seed layer to the wafer; applying a second mask to the wafer having an opening over each stud slightly larger than that of the first mask; plating gold into each opening; and removing the second mask and the remaining seed layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1994Date of Patent: October 31, 1995Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Martin Thiele

Patent number: 4095908Abstract: A coupling unit for coupling a shaft to a surrounding hub has an inner ring which surrounds the shaft and is in turn surrounded by an outer ring. The juxtaposed surfaces of the two rings define with one another two wedge-shaped annular gaps which taper towards each other axially of the rings. Tension members are inserted into these gaps and both extend through the tension members so as to draw them axially together in order to force the rings against the shaft and the hub, respectively. An abutment ring is located between the inner and outer rings and has circumferentially spaced bores some of which are smooth and some of which are tapped. By cooperation of the bolts and the abutment ring the tension members can be forced out of the respective gaps when the connection between shaft and hub is to be released.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1977Date of Patent: June 20, 1978Assignee: Ringfeder G.m.b.H.Inventors: Horst-Dieter Schafer, Paul Loosen, Ulrich Kloren, Hans-Martin Thiele
