  • Publication number: 20120032683
    Abstract: A method diagnoses current sensors of an n-phase induction machine which has n?1 current sensors. The n phases of the induction machine are short-circuited for a brief period of time during normal operation of the induction machine, and the time progressions of the n?1 currents are measured by the n?1 current sensors during the short-circuit operation. The actual values of the time progressions of the n?1 measured short-circuit currents are compared to corresponding prescribed target values for the n?1 short-circuit currents. A potential fault state of one or more current sensors is determined from the comparison.

  • Patent number: 7926544
    Abstract: In a casting method for producing a cast part, a melt to be cast is filed into a container and the mold is connected seal-tightly to the container. The mold and the container are rotated together so that the melt flows from the container into the mold. The mold and the container are separated from another and the cast part is removed from the mold. The casting plant for performing the method has a mold that is pivotably supported about a first axis of rotation to perform a first movement that is a pivot movement in a first movement direction. A container is pivotably supported about a second axis of rotation. The mold is supported so as to be movable by a second movement in a second movement direction.

  • Patent number: 6366048
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for regulating the phase current in the windings of a reluctance machine. Regulation is carried out using a digital regulator, which operates using a PI characteristic and presets pulse-width-modulated pulses for a DC chopper controller. Set values, which are a function of the phase voltage, are superimposed on the regulator manipulated variable by means of a pilot control.

  • Patent number: 5966901
    Abstract: A package delivery device of a filling and closing machine has a conveyor belt (31) and above it, spaced apart by the package height, has a top belt (41). To adjust the clearance of the top belt (41) from the conveyor belt (31) to the format height and to compensate for filling level fluctuations of the packages 1, the arrival end of the conveyor belt (31) and the delivery end of the top belt (41) can be adjusted in opposing directions, whereas the arrival end of the top belt (41) and the delivery end of the conveyor belt (31) are stationary. A linear drive (51) produces the vertical adjustment via a common adjusting rod assembly.
