  • Publication number: 20240053226
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wear part (10E). The wear part (10E) has a part interior (14) and a wear layer (12E). The wear layer (12E) is produced by additive manufacturing, covers the part interior (14) and has a wear indicator (18E) which is produced by additive manufacturing and is designed to indicate a state of wear of the wear part (10E) if the wear indicator (18E) is exposed and/or removed due to wear. Advantageously, the wear part (10E) can allow a simple wear monitoring by monitoring the wear indicator (18E).

  • Patent number: 11742642
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable fixing device for a container handling system and to a method for setting a minimum bending radius for a connecting cable of a container handling system. The cable fixing device comprises a main body, a cable guide which is arranged around a part of the main body, and a cover for covering an end of the cable guide in such a way that a connecting cable, which is pre-assembled with plug-in devices at both ends, can be introduced between the cover and the cable guide. The cable guide is configured at its other end for fixing of the connecting cable in such a way that a looping angle of the cable fixing device and connecting cable can be set variably.

  • Patent number: 10759604
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for guiding and pivoting bodies via sliding the bodies through the device. The device is produced using a generative manufacturing method. A system includes at least two of the devices arranged in parallel, a conveyor device, and a control device. The control device controls the conveyor device responsive to receiving a control command and feeds bodies selectively to one of the devices. A treatment line for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers includes a process path, a preform storage unit, a preform oven of a stretch blow-molding machine, and the device arranged between the preform storage unit and the preform oven. A treatment line for PET containers includes a process path, a container closure storage unit, a closing unit for closing the PET containers, and the device arranged between the container closure storage unit and the closing unit.
