Publication number: 20190039118Abstract: A coil spring winding apparatus (1) comprises a stator and a rotor (10) which is supported on the stator so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis (13). The rotation axis (13) extends along a spring axis of a coil spring wound by the coil spring winding apparatus. At least one winding tool (21, 22) is supported on the rotor (10) so as to rotate about the rotation axis (13) of the rotor (10) upon rotation of the rotor (10). The at least one winding tool (21, 22) is configured to bend a wire (8) to form the coil spring upon rotation of the rotor (10). The at least one winding tool (21, 22) is adjustable relative to the rotor (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2016Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventor: Roland KELLER

Patent number: 9923425Abstract: A preformed coil (20) to produce a self-supporting air-gap skewed winding of a small electric motor consisting of at least two preformed coils (20) positioned overlapping on a circumference of a winding (6) and a method and device for producing the coil. Two preformed coil sides (24a, 24b) lying in different radial planes are formed which are connected on their front ends (26a, 26b) by front connections. The front connections feature the radial plane offset from the winding offset sections (28) bridging the preformed coil sides (24a, 24b). The preformed coil sides (24a, 24b) are formed curved with a circular shape around a longitudinal axis (16), and the radius of curvature of the one radial outer preformed coil side (24a) is greater than the radius of curvature of the radial inner preformed coil side (24b).Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Dr. Fritz Faulhaber GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9845205Abstract: A method for targeted detection and segregation of individual piece goods being conveyed in a conveying direction on an extensive conveying element. A position-determining device detects positional information of the piece good to be segregated. The piece good to be segregated is displaced transversely to the conveying device by a push element, which is moved transversely to the conveying direction into the conveying region of the piece goods. Before pushing of the piece good, the push element is now moved into a forward position that lies above the conveying element in the conveying region. The piece good is subsequently pushed by the push element over the conveying element by way of accelerating the push element out of the forward position in a push direction. The forward position is set by a control device depending on positional information concerning the piece good to be segregated on the conveying element.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: FERAG AGInventor: Roland Keller

Patent number: 8915493Abstract: The invention proposes a method and an installation for monitoring and/or controlling at least one handling apparatus for handling a multiplicity of preferably sheet-like products, in particular printed products, each product being assigned a reference (4). The installation comprises a transporting apparatus for transporting the multiplicity of products at a distance apart from one another along a transporting direction to at least one handling apparatus, or past the same, at least one detecting apparatus (1, 1?) at least for picking up references of the products and for communicating messages belonging to the references, and at least one processing unit (3) for processing the messages. In at least one delay device (5), a number of messages relating to references (4) from a plurality of products are combined to form a message group (6) and are communicated to the processing unit (3) via a communications medium (2) once a delay period (9) has elapsed.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Ferag AGInventor: Roland Keller

Patent number: 8899403Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a transport device (10) which has a number of identical transport means arranged one after another in a transport direction, which are able to transport product along an intrinsically closed transport path (33) between stations (28) arranged on the transport path (33). To identify the individual transport means, use is made of selected transport means (RK) which can be detected by means of first sensors (24) arranged or on the transport path (33) as the said transport means pass the first sensors (24), which are distributed over the transport path (33) and subdivide the transport path (33) into individual segments. The transport means may be assigned individually consecutive fixed serial numbers, which are counted from a single starting point (34), and in that the starting point (34) is defined by a specific arrangement of a plurality of detectable transport means (DRK).Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2011Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Ferag AGInventor: Roland Keller
