  • Patent number: 11331736
    Abstract: The invention relates to a moving system (100) for moving workpieces that are provided for gear cutting on a workpiece spindle (200) and have a workpiece axis of rotation, from a first position (A), taken up while they are being fed, into a third position (C) that differs from the first position by at least a smaller distance between the workpiece axis of rotation and the workpiece spindle axis, having a first movement unit (36, 32, 34) which moves a workpiece from the first position into a second position (B), different from the first and the third position, along a first movement path (AB), and a second movement unit (35) which moves the workpiece from the second position into the third position along a second movement path (BC), wherein the moving system is also designed to move machined workpieces back out of the third position and to hold and move more than one workpiece at the same time, wherein, while it is being moved on the first and on the second movement path, the workpiece is held by one and the s

  • Publication number: 20130216165
    Abstract: Guide arrangement, specifically for a machine tool, serving to guide a linear movement of a movable part (2) extending opposite a stationary part (1) along the movement axis and along a transverse direction oriented at a right angle to the movement axis, wherein the guide arrangement includes a support area belonging to the stationary part, on which support area the movable part is slidingly supported against a holding force that acts in a normal direction orthogonal to the directions in which the movable part extends, and wherein the guide arrangement further includes a roller guide arrangement (12) with a roller-guiding area belonging to the stationary part, wherein a load originating from the movable part and having a load component oriented in the opposite direction of the holding force and acting on the roller-guiding area causes within the stationary part a loading effect along a load propagation path leading to the support area, and wherein said load propagation path comprises a path section with a for

  • Patent number: 6535777
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method of operating a transfer system with individual workpiece carriers driven so as to be able to travel along a path, wherein the workpiece carriers exchange information wirelessly with at least one data loading station arranged on the path. The invention is distinguished by the fact that each workpiece carrier takes on information intended for it wirelessly from the data-loading station, the information is written into a microprocessor control unit of the workpiece carrier, the written information, together with basic data present in the microprocessor, is converted into a travel and machining program for the workpiece carrier, and the workpiece carrier independently conditions its predetermined travel path on the basis of the travel and machining program, travels to corresponding machining stations and exchanges data with machining and/or positioning stations arranged on the path.

  • Patent number: 6409438
    Abstract: An apparatus for positioning a workpiece carrier in a machining station includes at least one positioning device. The workpiece carrier is movable on a rail system and one or more machining stations are arranged along the rail system for machining a workpiece arranged on the workpiece carrier. The at least one positioning device is arranged in an area of the machining station and has fixtures for positioning and high-precision retention of the workpiece carrier with respect to a stationary reference surface. The positioning device further includes fixtures for decoupling the workpiece carrier from the rail system, and a deceleration and acceleration device for the workpiece carrier.

  • Patent number: 6068287
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a sensor which detects acceleration values, and a control unit linked to the sensor. The control unit drives switching elements, which are disposed in a series circuit including at least one squib. When the switching elements are driven, the squib receives a current. This current flows at the same time through the also series-connected resistor, across which a voltage drop arises, which is analyzed by a comparator. The pulse duty factor of the current driving is modified as a function of the amperage of the current flowing through the squib.
