  • Profile singulator
    Patent number: 11802007
    Abstract: Additional automation in the form of a profile singulator for singulating profiles is proposed which includes: a first conveying device for feeding the profiles in a disorderly state over a first conveying section, a conveyor roller for unraveling the large quantity of fed profiles into individual profiles, wherein the conveyor roller is situated downstream from the first conveying device in the direction of transport. The profiles can be limp, flexible, or semi-flexible; moreover, they can have or not have a carrier.
    Type: Grant

  • Sealing strip holder
    Patent number: 11260485
    Abstract: A sealing strip holder for manipulating and transporting a sealing strip preform in an at least partially automated production process, the sealing strip preform preferably having limp properties. To make the manufacturing process faster and less expensive the sealing strip holder comprises at least one clamping jaw which interlockingly and/or frictionally engages at least one surface portion of the sealing strip preform.

  • Accumulator pre-charge determination
    Patent number: 11118605
    Abstract: An exemplary method generally includes charging hydraulic fluid into or out of a cavity of an accumulator at a controlled flowrate, detecting movement of a machine component from a first position toward a second position, determining an idle time spanning from a start of the charging to detection of the movement of the machine component, and determining a pre-charge of the accumulator based upon the idle time and a flowrate value of the controlled flowrate.
