  • Patent number: 8608129
    Abstract: A fluid dosing valve assembly for dispensing a volumetric amount of a fluid in precise and repeatable amounts, particularly for dosing small amounts. The fluid dosing valve assembly includes a valve body with a fluid path, and a stem element for opening and closing the fluid path by rotation, the rotation being performed from a first closing position to an opening position and from the opening position to a second closing position, with rotation angles between the first closing position and the opening position and between the opening position and the second closing position that allow the opening cycle to be performed at constant rotational speed.

  • Patent number: 8297139
    Abstract: A device for precisely manipulating objects by means of multidimensional tooling movement cycles, comprising a revolving shaft assembly, a barrel shaped main cam connected in a slidable but rotationally locked manner with the revolving shaft assembly, a fixed main cam follower configured to engage the main cam such that the main cam performs a cyclic main translational movement in the direction of a shaft rotation axis, a plate shaped secondary cam rigidly connected to the main cam, a tooling holder having a main slide slidable in the direction of the shaft rotation axis and a secondary slide slidable with respect to the main slide in a transversal direction to the shaft rotation axis, wherein the main slide is connected to the main cam and a secondary cam follower is connected to the secondary slide.
