  • Patent number: 10500686
    Abstract: A dental milling machine has idle receptacles arranged in a storage chamber for storing a plurality of blanks. The blanks each are placed without frame as a frameless blank in the idle receptacles. A transfer device with a transport arm is arranged in the storage chamber. A work chamber adjoins the storage chamber. A transfer opening is arranged between work chamber and storage chamber. The transport arm grips a frameless blank stored in the storage chamber and moves it through the transfer opening into the work chamber. A workpiece holder arranged in the work chamber receives the frameless blank from the transport arm. The workpiece holder grips the frameless blank by a receiving rim of the frameless blank. The workpiece holder, for milling the frameless blank in the work chamber by a milling tool, holds by a clamping action the frameless blank at the receiving rim.

  • Patent number: 9758152
    Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid drive device, which includes a first drive unit and a second drive unit is disclosed, wherein a drive torque of the hybrid drive device is produced only by means of the first drive unit in a first operating mode and is produced jointly by the first drive unit and the second drive unit in a second operating mode, and wherein an actual rotational speed of the second drive unit is brought into line with a target rotational speed upon a switchover from the first operating mode to the second operating mode. In order to bring the actual rotational speed into line, a target rotational speed gradient is determined and a target torque determined on the basis of the target rotational speed gradient is set at the second drive unit.
