  • Publication number: 20210276140
    Abstract: A device (1) for automatically changing sanding discs (12) includes a stacking device (10) for a plurality of grinding discs (12) and a guide element (16) for orienting the suction openings (32) in the grinding discs (12) along a common central axis (18), wherein the guide element (16) is arranged eccentrically with regard to the central axis (18). A positioning element (17) is provided for positioning a tool head of a grinding device, wherein the positioning element (17) and the guide element (16) are mounted in a floating manner. A device (1) for automatically changing grinding discs (12) includes a detachment device (50), wherein the detachment device (50) has a bearing surface (51) for a grinding-disc receptacle. The bearing surface (51) has an opening (52), the diameter of which is greater than the diameter of the grinding disc (12). A separating element (53) is arranged above the opening (52).

  • Publication number: 20200215677
    Abstract: A compressed air-driven tool having an electromagnetically operated control element (27) for controlling a pneumatic control circuit in order to maintain a load-independent torque at a constant rotational speed. The tool includes a principal valve (5), which arranged in a drive housing (1) in a manner displaceable by the supplied compressed air against the force of a helical spring (13), and a generator (43), which is mounted on the shaft (49) of a turbine wheel (51). The rotational speed of the shaft (49) is measured with a speed sensor (75) and the supply of compressed air to the principal valve (5) is controlled in the event of a drop in rotational speed as a consequence of a load.
