  • Publication number: 20080210105
    Abstract: The invention concerns a calender which comprises a vertical stack of interlinked rollers driven individually by regulated electric motors. The regulation process acts on the distribution of the delivered power to the individual rollers such that the forces acting on the rollers in the horizontal direction and measured in the roller bearings are minimized, so enabling slimmer rollers to be used.

  • Patent number: 6652689
    Abstract: A process for ultrasound treatment of a strip of material and a device for implementing such a process. A strip of material passes through a treatment gap, which is formed by a roller device that includes a rotating roller body and a sonotrode that is directed approximately radially against the working surface of the roller body. In order to at least extensively prevent any concentricity defect of the roller body that might result from bending of the roller body, the roller body is cooled directly below the working surface of the roller body. For this purpose, the roller body has a number of lengthwise bores distributed uniformly over the circumference, preferably on an arc, through which a cooling medium flows in essentially uniform manner.

  • Patent number: 6592711
    Abstract: A device for processing a continuously running material web includes a machine frame with an ultrasonic generator unit with a sonotrode. A counter tool lies opposite the sonotrode, affixed on the machine frame. The material web is passed through the gap between the sonotrode and the counter tool; as a drive activated by a fluid pressure medium, to press the sonotrode that is movably mounted on the machine frame against the counter tool. A damper for damping vibrations of the sonotrode in the contact pressure direction is provided. This damper is connected at one end with the sonotrode, and at its other end to the machine frame so that vibrations excited by the web or by the counter tool are damped to such an extent that they are no longer noticeable in the processing effect.
