  • Patent number: 12383999
    Abstract: An operating facility for a CNC control system controls a machine tool with a plurality of machine axes. A tool inserted into a tool receptacle of a tool spindle can be displaced relative to a workpiece and/or rotated about a tool spindle axis. A rotary controller manually operated by an operator can set a feed rate with which the tool is moved relative to the workpiece and/or a spindle rotary speed. A graphical user interface is used to adjust the effect of an operating action carried out by the rotary controller on the feed rate or the spindle rotary speed. This improves the flexibility with regard to adaptation to the requirements of the individual user.

  • Patent number: 12384665
    Abstract: In a method for a collision-free movement of a crane in a crane lane, a sensor captures a first training data set of raw data during a movement of the crane outside a crane operation in the crane lane. The first training data set is evaluated while teaching a first neural network based on the captured raw data and first training data are determined from the evaluated first training data set. The sensor captures current sensor data during a movement of the crane during the crane operation in the crane lane. The current sensor data is compared with the first training data, and an anomaly is detected between the current sensor data and the first training data.

  • Patent number: 12384010
    Abstract: A power tool having a tool and a motor, with the motor of the power tool being operated in a speed range from 2,000 to 30,000 rpm and with an inertia of the motor lying in a range from 20·10?6 to 750·10?6 kg·m2. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for operating a power tool which is operated in a speed range from 2,000 to 30,000 rpm, with an inertia of the motor lying in a range from 20·10?6 to 750·10?6 kg·m2. By selecting and specifying a set of parameters which describe characteristics of the motor of the power tool, the power tool can be designed and operated in such a way that a mechanical slip clutch can be dispensed with. The motor parameters “speed” and “inertia” are selected in particular so that a maximum torque in a transmission of the power tool is always below a specified upper limit.
