  • Patent number: 11956915
    Abstract: A switch-cabinet system comprises a base module with a base housing and at least one functional module with a functional housing. A functional connection element is arranged in the functional housing in the area of a first through-opening on a bottom side of the functional housing. A base connection element is arranged in the base housing in the area of a second through opening on a top side of the base housing. The bottom side of the functional housing rests against the top side of the base housing. The functional and base connection elements engage and form an interface. The system also includes a sealing insert having a frame with a functional section engaging the functional housing and a base section engaging the base housing. The functional section abuts an inner wall of the functional housing. The base section abuts a wall of the base housing defining the second through-opening.

  • Publication number: 20230142990
    Abstract: A control-cabinet system has a base module and at least one functional module. The base module has a base housing with a first housing face and a second housing face. The functional module has a functional housing with a housing underside, where a circulation channel is arranged. Air flow may be circulated in the circulation channel, where each base connection element comprises circulation openings which are fluidically connected to the circulation channel. The functional connection element comprises coupling openings fluidically connected to an interior of the functional housing. The coupling openings are coupleable to the circulation openings, in which a fluidic connection exists between the circulation channel and the interior of the functional housing. A fluidically closed circulation circuit comprising the circulation channel and the interior of the functional housing is formed, in which air flow may be circulated.

  • Patent number: 11540413
    Abstract: A base module for a switch-cabinet system, having a plurality of communication units and connection elements for a plurality of functional modules. The connection elements are configured to engage in module-connection elements of functional modules. Each connection element has at least one data connection. Each communication unit is in each case connected to at least one data connection of a connection element. The communication units are connected to one another by a data bus. The base module has a first field-bus connection. The data bus is connected to the first field-bus connection to connect the communication units to a field-bus.

  • Patent number: 10981688
    Abstract: A packaging assembly including a sealing station for sealing a product with at least one film web, wherein a printer is provided upstream of the sealing station and configured to print information, in particular a product weight and an associated retail price, onto the film web or onto a label, which may already be present on the film web, wherein, upstream of the sealing station, a forward weighing device is provided and configured to detect a weight value of a product and forward it to a control unit. The packaging assembly is characterized in that the control unit controls the printer for printing-on the information depending on the detected weight value, and that, downstream of the sealing station, at least a first inspection device is provided to read the information on the imprint. A method for making the packaging assembly is also included.

  • Patent number: 9463892
    Abstract: The invention relates to a labeling device and to a method for operating such a labeling device on a deep-drawing packaging machine. The labeling device includes two cross-web labelers, each displaced on one common guide system, and each having a drive and power supply. The labeling device further includes a safety controller configured to calculate a distance between the two cross-web labelers and interrupt the power supply of each drive of the cross-web labelers when the calculated distance is below an invariably predefined safety distance so as to ensure a reliable deactivation during the displacement of the cross-web labelers in the event of a fault.
