  • Patent number: 11897142
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for creating a robot control program for operating a machine tool, in particular a bending machine, having the steps of generating image material of a machining operation of a workpiece on the machine tool by means of at least one optical sensor; extracting at least one part of the workpiece and/or at least one part of a hand of an operator handling the workpiece from the image material; generating a trajectory and/or a sequence of movement points of at least one part of the workpiece and/or at least one part of a hand of an operator from the extracted image material; and creating a robot control program by reverse transformation of the trajectory and/or the sequence of movement points.

  • Publication number: 20230305511
    Abstract: A control device for at least one technical installation is described herein. The control device includes at least one mobile control unit for controlling the at least one technical installation as well as at least one supply unit, which can be assigned in a fixed manner to the technical installation and be connected thereto in an energy- and signal-transmitting manner for supplying the at least one mobile control unit with energy. The at least one mobile control unit and the at least one supply unit have a device for wireless energy transmission with a transmission frequency within a predetermined distance between the supply unit and the mobile control unit and for wireless transmission of a safety protocol in the course of the energy transmission. Furthermore, a technical installation and a method for controlling a technical installation are specified.

  • Patent number: 11219934
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bending machine (100) configured to bend a metallic workpiece (200), having a controller (130) configured to control a bending operation, wherein the controller (130) has at least one interface (340) configured to obtain information about a time-dependent springback of the workpiece (200) to be bent and to obtain a time indication of a subsequent further machining of the workpiece (200) to be bent, wherein the controller (130) is configured to calculate an adapted bending angle (?) based on the springback and the time indication, and wherein the bending machine (100) is configured to bend the bending operation beyond a bending angle (?) to be bent up to the adapted bending angle (?). Due to the adapted bending angle, the workpiece (300) has the correct bending angle (?) to be bent at the time of subsequent further machining.
