  • SEGMENTED ROLLER, IN PARTICULAR FOR COMMINUTING OR COMPACTING BULK MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20220388264
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mounting segments on and dismounting segments from a roller shaft. These segments are braced on the roller shaft via at least one bracing element in a receptacle provided for this purpose and are thus frictionally and form-fittingly connected in their position.

  • METHOD FOR EVALUATING USAGE DATA
    Publication number: 20220054043
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for evaluating usage data of at least one orthopaedic device which is equipped with sensors for detecting properties, states, or changes in properties or states, wherein the sensors are connected to a transmitter directly or via a storage device and the transmitter transmits the sensor data provided by the sensors to an evaluation unit in a computer network in which the sensor data is processed.

  • Device and method for quality testing sheet metal parts
    Patent number: 8365598
    Abstract: A device and a method are provided for quality testing sheet metal parts, particularly deep-drawn parts. The device has a pulse generator (20) that excites the sheet metal part (2) to oscillate, a sound sensor (19) that picks up the sound profile, and an evaluation unit that compares the recorded sound profile with a reference curve and generates a signal with which the sheet metal parts are classified. To increase the suitability of a generic device or generic method for use in an automated production system, a testing device (4) is integrated into a press line in a clock cycle controlled fashion. Sheet metal parts whose recorded sound profile does not lie in a tolerance range of the reference curve can be eliminated by a sorting device.
