  • Patent number: 9782966
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-aligning print head(s) to alignment adapter(s) to increase print resolution of printed matter, and to reduce offline time of a printing system due to print head alignment, include the use of an alignment adapter to which a print head is pre-aligned and which includes precision alignment features which precisely engage cooperating precision alignment features on the print head carriage mounting plate of the print head carriage. Print head(s) can be pre-aligned and fine-tuned to alignment adapter(s) even while the printing system is still in print production. Pre-aligned print head/alignment adapter assemblies can then be quickly mounted on the print head carriage using the cooperating precision alignment features of the adapter and print head carriage mounting plate. Duplicate sets of print head mounting sockets can include print heads aligned at different relative offsets (e.g., half a pixel) to increase the print resolution.

  • Patent number: 6381917
    Abstract: A lift door panel which, apart from a good sound and vibration damping with a high degree of rigidity, is producible to be largely distortion-free, wherein a warping in the case of fire and under high heat effect is reduced or avoided. The door panel has a front and back wall which are connected together by a first connection which is releasable under the action of heat and has at least a second heat-resistant connection.

  • Patent number: 5018399
    Abstract: A wedge-type mechanical servomotor has a primary member (1) with wedge faces (10) on which roll bodies (7) may move. The roll bodies (7) also engage faces (8) on abutment (9). Further roll bodies (17) engage cooperating wedge faces (16) on abutment (9) and (18) on secondary output member (19), and other roll bodies (5) engage cooperating faces (13) on abutment (9) and (14) on bushing (26), so that the device achieves essentially pure rolling movement of the roll bodies (5,7,17) which move between all faces on abutment (9) and faces (10, 14, 18) opposite to these faces (8, 13, 16) and supporting the roll bodies (5, 7, 17).

  • Patent number: 4934676
    Abstract: A drive for a machine vice having a vice body (8), a fixed jaw (9) and a movable jaw (4), a drive spindle (1) rotatably mounted in a thrust block (6) at one end of the vice body adjacent the movable jaw, a slide or drive nut (29) for the movable jaw cooperatively engaging drive screw threads (30) on the spindle so that rotation of the latter actuates the movable jaw, these parts extending on one side of the thrust block (6), a threaded sleeve (11) mounted in the thrust block, an extension (13) on the drive spindle extending rotatably and slidably through the thrust collar, a chamber drive unit (15) threadedly engaged (14) with extension (13) at one end and threadedly engaged at the other end with crankshaft (16) driven at its outer end by a crank (3) so that the crank rotates the drive spindle.
