  • Publication number: 20240083098
    Abstract: A method for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers using at least one device for forming preforms into containers, wherein preforms are acted upon by a flowable and, in particular, gas-forming medium and are formed into the containers, wherein the preforms are acted upon with different pressure levels and the flowable medium is stored in at least two reservoirs and is supplied from these reservoirs to the preforms and at least one of these reservoirs is supplied with the flowable medium by a pressure supply device, wherein the target pressure in at least one reservoir is controlled, and wherein this target pressure is compared with an actual pressure in this reservoir. A value characteristic of this comparison is determined. An offset value is controlled on the basis of this value and is controlled in such a way that a predetermined pressure and the target pressure is set in the reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20240083096
    Abstract: A method for forming plastic preforms into containers, wherein a transport device transports the preforms along a transport path. The transport device has a rotatable transport carrier where forming stations are arranged for forming the preforms into containers. The forming stations each have devices which apply a flowable medium to the preforms, and the apparatus has three pressure reservoirs which store the flowable and gaseous medium to expand the preforms. The preforms are applied to a first operating mode with a first pressure level stored in the first pressure reservoir, and at least one second and one third pressure levels stored in the second and third pressure reservoirs. The second pressure level is higher than the first, and the third pressure level is higher than the second. The apparatus is operated in a second operating mode, which differs from the first mode by pressure level prevailing in the second pressure reservoir.

  • Patent number: 8084709
    Abstract: The invention concerns a laser device for joining work pieces made of plastic by means of beam welding technology, with a processing head that has focusing devices for the laser beam. Here, the focusing device that is closest to the work pieces has a rotatably supported cylinder lens in the shape of a roller that focuses the laser beam along a single axis and presses the work pieces together in the form of a line in an area around the impact point of the laser beam. In order to enable the cylinder lens to always contact the surface of the work piece facing the processing head in a precisely tangential manner, the processing head has a pendulum-type suspension for the rotatable cylinder lens. This also makes it possible for the contact pressure exerted by the processing head to always act perpendicularly on the work pieces so that they are pressed together in all welding places in the same way in a defined manner during the welding process.
