Abstract: A method for controlling a production facility using high-resolution location tracking of workpieces includes determining the current position of the start of the workpiece and the end of the workpiece being currently transported through the facility using position sensors and interposed displacement sensors arranged at different positions of the production facility, and measuring a length of the workpiece from a combination of at least two position sensors and at least one interposed displacement sensor or of at least two displacement sensors and at least one interposed position sensor. The physically determined positions at the various position sensors are compared with a nominal position of the workpiece calculated from the obtained measurement data, and a message is displayed and/or a test is terminated and/or the production facility is stopped when the physically determined positions exceed deviation limit values.

Abstract: A metering rod for a metering system is disclosed for dispersing and wiping off a liquid or viscous medium applied in excess on a moving material web for coating to a desired coat weight. The metering rod includes a cold-drawn tube which is provided with at least one lip formed axis-parallel on an outer circumference of the tube.

Abstract: In a method of making a high-pressure accumulator pipe as composite pipe of steel for pressures of up to 1800 bar and above with high static strength and fatigue strength for fuel injection systems with common rail systems for internal combustion engines, a first inner pipe part is inserted into a second outer pipe part with little clearance, and the inner pipe part is connected to the outer pipe part gap-free and by interference fit through mechanical forming. The mechanical forming includes a rolling-in process, wherein the inner pipe part is subjected to a ductile expansion and the outer pipe part is subjected to an elastic expansion using an oversized rolling tool that is moved within the inner pipe part, and wherein a residual compressive stress adjusted to the operating pressure is applied to the inner pipe part after the forming process via the elastic resilience of the outer pipe part.
