  • Patent number: 11660755
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a working environment of a movable device utilizing a monitoring apparatus, wherein the working environment includes a working area and at least one protected area and the movable device is located within the working area during normal operation of said movable device, where the method includes a user inputting a plurality of convex polytopes into the monitoring apparatus, the convex polytopes corresponding to areas in which the movable device is located during normal operation, determining a convex polytope hull using the monitoring apparatus, the convex polytope hull completely enclosing the multiplicity of convex polytopes, and determining the at least one protected area by calculating a difference from the convex polytope hull and the input using the monitoring apparatus, such that monitoring of the position of the movable device is simplified because the working area can be modeled autonomously.

  • Patent number: 10466687
    Abstract: A method controls a folding box machine having a plurality of machining stations and a plurality of control devices for controlling the quality of folding boxes. Each control device controls different quality features of each folding box, and each control device transmits the result of the control to a control unit. Target values are stored in the control unit in order to classify the control results into results which meet the quality standard and results which do not meet the quality standard, and a folding box is discharged depending on an evaluation. The method advantageously reduces waste.

  • Patent number: 6971646
    Abstract: A module for temporarily storing a succession of flat printed products includes a first carrier element train on a first transport element assigned to a first side wall, and a second carrier element train on a second transport element assigned to a second side wall located opposite the first side wall. The transport elements are movable relative to the side walls and correlated with one another, for a form-locking, at least partial support of a printing product loaded into the module. Support for an underside of the loaded printing product is provided by upper sides of first and second carrier elements. Third and fourth carrier elements have respective undersides making form-locking contact with the upper side of the loaded printed product for holding down the underside of the loaded printed product on the upper sides of the first and second carrier elements. A further processing device includes the module.
