  • Publication number: 20220317664
    Abstract: A system for the early detection of and response to faults in a machine includes a machine having at least one furst capture device for capturing first signals inside the machine and a first data transmission interface for the broadband transmission of the captured signals inside the machine, at least one second capture device disposed outside the machine for capturing at least one second signal outside the machine, wherein the second capture device has a second data transmission interface for the broadband transmission of the at least one second signal, a data processing system having a broadband data transmission interface, a broadband data transmission channel for transmitting signals between the data transmission interfaces, wherein the data processing system is configured to detect faults using the signals inside the machine and outside the machine based on a common time base and to directly act on the machine.

  • Patent number: 10940571
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the cutting processing of a panel-type material in a machine which comprises a processing station in a machine base frame, and the processing station is assigned a loading and unloading station. The panel-type material is laid on a pallet which is movable between the processing station and the loading and unloading station, and the pallet is moved into the processing station for subsequent processing and is positioned on a pallet carrier of the machine base frame for the subsequent processing of the panel-type material, wherein, before the start of the processing process of the panel-type material by the processing unit, the pallet is lifted from the pallet carrier by an air spring device and is positioned in a manner decoupled from the pallet carrier, and after the processing process of the panel-type material, the pallet is coupled to the pallet carrier.

  • Patent number: 10708362
    Abstract: Methods, sensors, and machines for transmitting machine access data of a machine to a wireless measurement sensor attached to the machine. A method of transmitting access data of a communication interface of a machine to a wireless measurement sensor attached to the machine includes: controlling a machine component of the machine which influences the measurement signals of the measurement sensor, according to specific information associated with the access data and evaluating the measurement signals to determine the access data of the communication interface of the machine.
