  • Patent number: 11865772
    Abstract: A method for making a component at a device is disclosed. In an embodiment the device includes a powder depot, a work space and a laser, wherein the work space includes a powder bed and an assembly, and wherein the assembly includes a thermally insulating embedding mass and a heat conducting mold. In a further embodiment, the method includes fastening, by the assembly, an element at the work space and forming the component at the element by repeatedly moving, by a wiper, powder from the powder depot to the powder bed at the work space and heating, by a laser beam of the laser in an additive process, portions of the powder in the powder bed so that the component is built on the element, wherein the additive process comprises selective laser melting (SLM) or selective laser sintering (SLS), and wherein the embedding mass is independent and distinct from the powder and the component.

  • Patent number: 10247289
    Abstract: Method for producing a compound, rotationally symmetrical component (3) with internal and external teeth consisting of a blank (1) and a toothed body (5), wherein the two parts (1, 5) are designed in the form of a pot and in a first method step are inserted coaxially one inside another with interlocking, mutual support and in a second method step are interlocked together with at least one forming tool (17, 27) applied against the (inner and/or outer) circumference, wherein in the second method step the circumferential surface (14, 14?) of said blank (1) is continuously deformed in a rolling forming process in the axial direction and in the radial direction such that the circumferential surface (14, 14?) of the blank (1) is deformed to interlock into the tooth bases (10) of the teeth (6) of the toothed body (5).

  • Patent number: 9919353
    Abstract: A method for precision cutting of workpieces using a press which includes a press frame, in the press opening of which press frame a press ram, that works against a press table, is movably driven, wherein at least one of the press tools is formed as a cutting tool that includes a cutting punch, a downholder, a cutting die and a counter support. The cutting tool operates as a precision cutting tool. A lower tool part of the cutting tool includes a controlled retaining module that retains the counter support in a certain press ram position to enable ejecting the scrap.
