  • Patent number: 11389891
    Abstract: A method for butt-welding of sheet metal, especially bodywork in the motor vehicle industry, where at least two flat workpieces with any desired contours are fed to a machining process. In a first sub-process, the workpieces are positioned in relation to one another forming a minimal gap and secured in place with holding means. In another sub-process, the position and width of the gap are measured continuously immediately before welding together and the measurements are used to control a laser welding head. The laser welding head is fit with a rotatable twin-spot lens, where the relative alignment of a main spot to an auxiliary spot is controlled depending on the absolute position of the gap and the gap width during the welding process while the processing lens of the laser welding head is rotated around the laser beam axis with the angle of rotation alpha.

  • Patent number: 10639809
    Abstract: A method is for operating a device for carrying out cutting operations on an open format edge of a printed product. The device is operatively connected to a feed apparatus for the first cutting operation and to a removal apparatus which operates after the final cutting operation. The printed product is transferred from a first cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a first format edge is carried out, to a second cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a second format edge takes place. Once the cutting operation is complete at the second cutting location, the printed product is transferred to a third cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a third format edge takes place. The printed product is transferred among the cutting locations by a transport unit that grips the printed product by the spine to convey the product in a suspended manner.

  • Patent number: 10611041
    Abstract: A device for carrying out cutting operations on an open format edge of a printed product is operatively connected to a feed apparatus for the first cutting operation and to a removal apparatus which operates after the final cutting operation. The device comprises a cutting apparatus configured to carry out each edge-based cutting operation. The printed product is moveable from a first cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a first format edge takes place, to a second cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a second format edge takes place, after which, the printed product is transferable to a third cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a third format edge takes place. The printed product is transferable by a transport unit having a device by which the printed product is gripped by the spine and is conveyable in a suspended manner.

  • Patent number: 9126348
    Abstract: A method for regulating a speed of a cutting device comprising a cutter for cutting printed products includes transporting the printed products consecutively on a first conveying component of a feed device. A final printed product of a stack of the printed products to be formed is detected. The stack is formed in a stacking device. The stack is transported to the cutter using the feed device. An actual number of cycles of the cutter is regulated based on a time of the detecting the final printed product of the stack such that the stack is fed to the cutter within a time window.

  • Patent number: 8453547
    Abstract: A device for trimming at least one side edge of a bound printed product including a trimming table to receive the printed product and a press die arranged to press the printed product against the trimming table. The press die is operative to rise and fall with respect to the trimming table and the press die includes an elastic surface in a region approximately near the side edge of the print product. The elastic surface is operable to expand in a direction approximately transverse to the pressing direction. The device also includes a trimming knife positioned to trim the side edge. The trimming knife is operable to move between a starting position away from the trimming table and an ending position at the trimming table. The device also includes counter blade or a cutting bar mounted to limit a cutting stroke of the trimming knife.

  • Patent number: 7765907
    Abstract: A trimming apparatus for trimming a lateral edge a printed product includes a trimming table arranged to receive the printed product in a position ready for trimming. A trimming knife is configured to cut the lateral edge of the printed product during a cutting stroke, thereby creating cuttings separated from the print product. A removal device is provided for removing the separated cuttings. The removal device includes a collection region arranged behind the trimming knife to receive the separated cuttings during the cutting stroke of the trimming knife and a plurality of air nozzles located above the collection region. The nozzles are adapted to blow compressed air into the collection region to remove the separated cuttings through the collection region.
