Abstract: A method recycles residual material from processing a workpiece. The method includes the following steps: A) transmitting information about a desired material family of the residual material, tolerated accompanying materials in the residual material, and/or desired residual material part size, from a recycler computer to a workpiece processor computer; and B) workpiece processing with a processing machine while generating residual material. The method steps A) and B) can be carried out in any order or simultaneously and the following method step is carried out after the method step B): (D) collecting the residual material in a container with a logistics facility in accordance with the information transmitted.

Abstract: A method recycles residual material. The method includes: C) filling unmixed residual material into a container having a tracker of a track and trace system; D) storing information about a type of material of the unmixed residual material in the tracker; and E) transporting the container to a recycler of the unmixed residual material. The method steps C) and D) are performable in any order or at the same time.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mechanism for tooth clearance adjustment and linear actuation. In certain aspects of the invention, a mechanism for gear clearance adjustment comprises a retaining element, on which a first gear wheel is mounted, and a carrier element, on which a gear rack or a second gear wheel is mounted. The carrier element or on the retaining element includes at least one clearance adjustment device arranged by a fastening device.

Abstract: In some aspects, a workpiece processing installation includes an operating area, an operating pallet able to be moved along a transport direction between a position within the operating area and a position outside the operating area, the operating pallet being configured to support a workpiece, and a pallet support that is configured to be transferred from a first position, in which the pallet support defines a storage area for the storage of the operating pallet outside the operating area, to a second position in which the pallet support protrudes away from the operating area in the transport direction to a lesser extent than it does in the first position. Transferring the pallet support from the first position to the second position includes moving at least a portion of the pallet support towards the operating area which results in the storage area defined by the pallet support becoming smaller.

Abstract: A device for comminuting a residual sheet metal grid includes a grid supply system defining a grid supply plane and supplying the grid in a longitudinal direction; and a cutting assembly including a plurality of shearing teeth extending along a transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. The shearing teeth can include a cutting edge, a cutting edge portion, or both a cutting edge and a cutting edge portion. The cutting assembly can be constructed and arranged to cut the metal grid along the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction.
