Abstract: The invention relates to a headlight with a light source unit and a lens arrangement which is arranged at a predetermined distance from the light source unit for generating a predetermined light image, with a printed circuit board to which the light source unit is electrically contacted, and with a holding device for holding the lens arrangement on a body which is firmly connected to the printed circuit board. A distance adjustment device includes an actuating element which moves in the direction of an optical axis and which engages the light source unit and the printed circuit board, an actuator which can be brought into operative interconnection with the actuating element for adjusting the same, and a control device for controlling the actuator such that the actuating element is moved by in the direction of the optical axis until the currently generated light image corresponds to a predetermined light image.

Abstract: A device for automated production of screw connections includes an industrial robot with an output member rotatable about an effector axis (W) relative to an end member. A screwing unit is at least indirectly connected to the output member and rotatable by the output member about the effector axis (W). A screwing tool, a protective sleeve, and a preload spring are also included. The screwing tool is: accommodated at least in sections inside the protective sleeve; torque-proof connected with the protective sleeve; and axially displaceable along the effector axis (W) relative to the protective sleeve between a screwing position and a safety position. The screwing tool is biased in the screwing position by the preload spring.

Abstract: A device for the automated production of screw connections. An articulated arm robot has an output element and an end member. A screwdriving tool unit is rotatable about an effector axis via the output element. A profile shaft with a screw blade arranged at the end of it and a hub. The profile shaft and the hub are connected to each other in a form-fitting manner in the circumferential direction. The profile shaft can be displaced along the effector axis relative to the hub. A linear drive unit is mounted at the end member and comprises a working element which can be driven to an axial displacement parallel to the effector axis. A fastener is rigidly connected to the working element and connected to the profile shaft by a rotary bearing so that the profile shaft can be displaced along the effector axis by the linear drive unit.

Abstract: A method of setting up a joining device for joining a cover lens to a housing of a vehicle lighting device. The joining device features a mounting fixture and a robot with a suction head, The method features at least the following steps: inserting a housing into the mounting fixture and a cover lens into the suction head; transferring the suction head to an initial joining pose; joining the cover lens to the housing with the suction head in the initial joining pose; measuring the pose of the cover lens relative to a reference-point system, which comprises reference points on the surface of the housing and/or the cover lens; determining a set of translations and/or rotations, which transfer the cover lens to an optimal pose with minimal deviations from a target pose; and correcting the initial joining pose of the suction head with the determined set of translations and/or rotations.

Abstract: A method for producing a screw connection having a screw that is set in rotational motion with a screwdriving head of a screwdriving tool. The screwdriving head has a motor drive for creating the rotational motion of a screw receptacle of the screwdriving head. The screw is driven into at least one mating part of the screw connection in a rapid speed. A torque is detected with which the screw is driven. The rapid speed with a higher rotational speed is changed to a creep speed with a lower rotational speed at a changeover time. The changeover time is determined as a function of the detected torque during screwdriving at rapid speed. The screw is further driven at the creep speed until a head contact time when a head of the screw makes contact on the mating part.
