  • Publication number: 20240043780
    Abstract: A method for mounting at least one component on an installation includes attaching a carrier directly or indirectly to the installation, where the installation has at least one frame with at least two arms, at least one base plate, and at least one deformable element. The method further includes displacing the component toward the deformable element such that the deformable element is displaced from a receiving state (AUZ), in which the deformable element is ready to receive the component of the installation, toward a locked state (ARZ), as a result of which the deformable element surrounds and mounts the component of the installation at least in part.

  • Patent number: 10174666
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a cooling system of an internal combustion engine, which cooling system has a controllable rotary slide valve with at least one switched inlet or outlet. The movement of the rotary slide valve into a plurality of switching positions, which each correspond with a cooling system state, is monitored. In accordance with an improper functional state of the rotary slide valve and a current switching position of the rotary slide valve, an operating state of the internal combustion engine is changed to an emergency operation state. A protection system in the cooling system carries out the method and includes a thermal management system, which receives and processes coolant temperatures, and a control unit of a controllable rotary slide valve having a position detector, which can detect a current switching position of the switchable rotary slide valve, wherein the thermal management system is connected to the control unit of the rotary slide valve.

  • Patent number: 10030572
    Abstract: A coolant circuit is provided for an internal combustion engine having a compression machine for intake air. The coolant circuit includes a high-temperature circuit and a low temperature circuit. The high-temperature circuit is provided in order to cool the internal combustion engine by way of a coolant radiator and a first coolant pump arranged in the high-temperature circuit. The low-temperature circuit is provided with a second coolant pump in order to cool the intake air compressed by the compression machine by way of an intercooler and in order to cool a coolant of a coolant circuit in a condenser. The high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit are cooling circuits which are separated from each other. The thermal base load of the low-temperature circuit is reduced by this design, whereby the pressure level in the coolant circuit can be reduced resulting positively in a reduction of the energy consumption.

  • Patent number: 8181556
    Abstract: To control the cutting register of a web in a web-fed rotary press with little expenditure, a specific item of image information or a measuring mark of a printed web is registered by at least one sensor. The sensor generates a registration signal which is supplied to a control device. The registration of the image information or measuring marks is carried out immediately before or on a knife cylinder. A cutting register error is determined from the registration information and the position of the knife cylinder is influenced to correct the determined cutting register error.

  • Publication number: 20070214921
    Abstract: A hydraulic torque wrench system automates the tightening process by continuously operating the torque wrench to alternately advance and retract the wrench cylinder when the advance actuator is held by the operator until the desired pressure or torque is reached. If the advance actuator is released by the operator, the wrench retracts fully and stops advancing. If the advance actuator is not pressed for a period of time while the pump is running, the pump is automatically turned off. The pump can be turned off when the fastener has been tightened to the desired torque or pressure set point, or the pump can continue running in which event the reduction in duration of the alternation cycle between advancement and retraction of the torque wrench cylinder will audibly and visibly signal the operator that the fastener stopping point has been reached.

  • Patent number: 7137338
    Abstract: To control the cut register of a web in a web-fed rotary press and to control the web tension decoupled from the control of the cut register, a specific item of image information or measuring marks of the printed web are registered by at least one sensor and the web tension is registered by at least one further sensor. The deviation of the position of the printed image with respect to its intended position, based on the location and time of the cut, is determined from the item of image information and is therefore available as actual values and supplied to a control device. The cut register error and the web tension can be influenced in a manner decoupled from each other.
