  • Patent number: 11173540
    Abstract: The moulding machine includes a moulding chamber having at least one chamber end wall provided with a pattern plate adapted to form a pattern in a mould part and associated with a reference pattern block positioned in fixed relationship to a pattern of said pattern plate and adapted to form a reference pattern in an external face of a mould part. A detection system detects the position of a pattern face of the reference pattern of the sand mould part. A transverse and/or a rotational compaction position of a pattern plate is adjustable by means of at least one actuator. Said actuators are controlled by means of a control system on the basis of successive position detections performed by the detection system of pattern faces of reference patterns of compacted sand mould parts traveling along said path of travel.

  • Patent number: 10919087
    Abstract: The moulding machine includes a moulding chamber having at least one chamber end wall (8) provided with a pattern plate adapted to form a pattern in a mould part and associated with a reference pattern block positioned in fixed relationship to a pattern of said pattern plate and adapted to form a reference pattern in an external face of a mould part. A detection system detects the position of a pattern face of the reference pattern of the sand mould part. A transverse and/or a rotational compaction position of a pattern plate is adjustable by means of at least one actuator (91, 92, 119). Said actuators are controlled by means of a control system on the basis of successive position detections performed by the detection system of pattern faces of reference patterns of compacted sand mould parts travelling along said path of travel.

  • Patent number: 10589348
    Abstract: The moulding machine includes a moulding chamber having at least one chamber end wall provided with a pattern plate adapted to form a pattern in a mould part and associated with a reference pattern block positioned in fixed relationship to a pattern of said pattern plate and adapted to form a reference pattern in an external face of a mould part. The reference pattern block includes a face having a tangent varying in a longitudinal direction of the moulding chamber and being adapted to form a corresponding reference pattern in the sand mould part. A non-contact detection system (87) detects the position of a number of different points (P1, P2) distributed over the pattern face of the reference pattern in the longitudinal direction of the sand mould part, and the tangent (T1, T2) in the longitudinal direction of the sand mould part is different between at least two of said points.

  • Patent number: 9860653
    Abstract: A hearing aid device configured to be partly or fully inserted into the ear canal of a user is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises a receiver (loudspeaker) adapted to generate and send an air-borne acoustic signal towards the eardrum when the hearing aid device is partly or fully inserted into the ear canal. The hearing aid device further comprises a microphone configured to receive acoustic signals. The hearing aid device comprises a processing unit configured to determine if the hearing aid device is positioned in a correct position in the ear canal on the basis of the acoustic signals received by the microphone.

  • Patent number: 9205485
    Abstract: Molding chamber arrangement (1) for a mold-string plant comprising a molding chamber (2) formed by a chamber bottom (3), a chamber ceiling (4) provided with one or more sand filling openings (22) communicating with a sand-feed system (14), two chamber side walls (5), a pressure plate (6) provided with an exchangeable pressure pattern plate having a pressure pattern (8) and being connected to a movement mechanism (9), a swingable plate (10) provided with an exchangeable swing pattern plate having a swing pattern (12) and being mounted for translational and swinging movement in order to open and close the molding chamber (2), allowing the pressure plate (6) to expel the produced molds, and further comprising means (13) for vertically moving the chamber ceiling (4) and sand-feed system (14) in unison, or the chamber bottom (3), or both, relative to the remainder of the molding chamber arrangement (1), thereby changing the height of the molding chamber.
