  • Patent number: 11220828
    Abstract: A fastening element which can be mounted on the upper side of a positionable formwork wall of a formwork system. The fastening element has an angular element with a first leg and a second leg. The first leg can take the form of a mounting part which can be fastened in a reversibly releasable manner to the positionable formwork wall. As an alternative to this, the first leg can be arranged directly or indirectly on the mounting part. The free end of the second leg has a connection possibility for a push-pull prop or is connected to a push-pull prop. The angular element is preferably designed to be pivotable with respect to the mounting part. With the positionable formwork wall set up, the positionable formwork wall can form, together with the fastening element and the push-pull prop, an arch into which a closing formwork wall can be inserted.

  • Patent number: 10814432
    Abstract: In the method according to the disclosure for the unloading of a workpiece part from a workpiece, in parallel with processing time, by means of an unloading element, e.g. a vacuum sucker, the workpiece part is cut from an especially plate-form workpiece by means of a laser beam. The movement of the laser beam relative to the workpiece at least along a first movement axis (X) is divided into a movement of the workpiece and a movement of the laser beam. Before executing a final cut, which separates the workpiece part from the workpiece, the workpiece is decelerated until standstill and the final cut is then executed for example, by moving the laser beam. The workpiece part is being unloaded by an unloading element that operates at least partially during cutting of the workpiece. The unloading element operates according to one of three operating options.
