  • Patent number: 11762361
    Abstract: A control system for operating a system having an operable component includes a master and a slave assigned to the component. The master and the slave each comprise a software processing part and a programmable logic part. The master is configured by its software processing part to: receive job data, transform the job data into component job data, and send the component job data to the slave. The master is configured by its programmable logic part to send information about a current job status to the slave. The slave is configured by its programmable logic part to receive the information about the current job status, and to send information about the current job status to its software processing part. The slave is configured by its software processing part to execute a job corresponding to the component job data using the current job status.

  • Publication number: 20230022176
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for joining two components or for reinforcing a component, comprising a first and a second threaded sleeve which each comprise the following: an outer thread, with the aid of which the threaded sleeve can be screwed into the respective component and which is suitable to form a composite with the respective component, and a power drive, by which a torque for screwing the threaded sleeve into the respective component can be transmitted to the threaded sleeve. The system further comprises an elongate clamping element which is suitable to be guided through the second threaded sleeve and introduced into or guided through the first threaded sleeve, and which is suitable to axially clamp the first and the second threaded sleeve in such a manner that the first and the second threaded sleeve form opposed composite stresses in the respective component.

  • Publication number: 20220299060
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for securing an anchor in a borehole in a mineral substrate, in particular concrete, mortar, or brickwork, comprising an anchor with a core section and a threaded section and comprising a furrowing tool for furrowing an internal thread in the borehole, wherein the furrowing tool comprises the following: a main part with a leading end and a trailing end, said main part having an outer surface on which a furrowing thread is formed that is suitable for furrowing the internal thread into the wall of the borehole. The outer surface of the main part is equipped with a plurality of elevations, each of which has a cutting edge, and all of the cutting edges lie at least partly on an imaginary cylinder with a diameter (do). The cutting edges are suitable for at least partially removing the inner wall of the borehole when the furrowing tool is rotated into the borehole in order to adapt the internal wall of the borehole to the imaginary cylinder.
