Abstract: Auxiliary safety device for a vehicle, comprising a housing suitable to be mounted on board of the vehicle; a lighting assembly which is at least partially accommodated in the housing and comprises at least a plurality of lights arranged to illuminate a space ahead of the vehicle; a video assembly which is at least partially accommodated in the housing and comprises one or more video cameras monitoring at least part of the environment outside the vehicle to detect one or more of humans, animals or objects ahead of the vehicle, wherein the video assembly comprises at least one thermal video camera which detects at least humans/animals ahead of the vehicle under poor visibility conditions; and a controller which at least causes the plurality of lights to flash or strobe at a human, or animal or obstacle detected by the video assembly.

Abstract: A B-pillar is shaped from a sheet blank (20,21) into a hat profile with a central flange (12), two sides (13,14) and two side flanges (15,16), and it has, over a portion of its length, a reinforcing sheet (21) that make the B-pillar have double sheets. The reinforcing sheet (21) extends out over the side flanges (15,16) over at least ¼ of its length and narrows down at both its ends so that it does not extend out over the side flanges over part of its length.

Abstract: An industrial robot including a contact panel having one or several contacts to allow connection to the industrial robot of one or several cables through which energy, signals or a substance may pass to and/or from the industrial robot. A cover forms part of an outer surface of the industrial robot. Each one of the one or several contacts of the contact panel protrudes through an opening in the cover so as to be accessible from the outside of the industrial robot. The contact panel is mounted to and supported by a holder that is secured in an internal cavity of the industrial robot so as to allow the contact panel to be held in place in the industrial robot when the cover is removed.

Abstract: A sheet steel blank is heated to the austenite range and formed in a cooled tool pair that rapidly cools the formed product until the product's temperature drops somewhat below the temperature Ms for the start of the formation of martensite. The cooling is rapidly interrupted and the product's temperature is raised until it exceeds Ms and is maintained there until the material comes to contain more than 50% by volume bainite. The short time under the Ms temperature favours the formation of bainite and shortens the holding time.

Abstract: In a press-hardening plant, a contact-cooling press (12) is provided between the furnace (11) and the press-hardening press (13). Preselected parts of the blank (18) are contact-cooled such that corresponding parts of the finished product are softer and display a lower yield point.

Abstract: A robot arm for an industrial robot, including a first arm part and a second arm part, where the second arm part is rotatably journalled in the first arm part for rotation about a first axis of rotation, characterized in that the second arm part includes a tubular member, rotatably journalled in the first arm part, so that the tubular member is configured to support the robot arm.

Abstract: A harmonic motor with a circular and internally geared stator, a flex spline coaxially arranged within the stator which comprises both external and internal gears, and a geared output shaft coaxially arranged within the flex spline. A drive assembly that includes a motor with a motor housing, a rotor, a rotor shaft, and a rear bearing for supporting the rotor shaft in the motor housing at a rear side of the rotor; and a strain wave gearing including a circular spline secured to the motor housing, a flex spline engaging the circular spline, a wave generator engaging the flex spline and secured to a drive end of the rotor shaft, and a wave generator bearing between the circular spline and the wave generator. The wave generator bearing serves as an exclusive drive end bearing for supporting the rotor shaft in the motor housing at a front side of the rotor.

Abstract: A device for adjusting the backlash in bevel gears in an industrial robot which includes a first conical gear wheel with a first axis of rotation and a second conical gear wheel. The device includes a displaceably arranged holder member adapted to fix and rotatably journal the first gear wheel for rotation about the first axis of rotation.

Abstract: An industrial robot including, for rotation about a first shaft and rotation about a second shaft, a drive package with a motor and a gear between an output shaft of the motor and the first and second shafts, respectively. The respective gear is a multistage gear transmission with parallel gear wheel axes and one of the gear wheels of the gear is secured to the first and second shafts, respectively. The gear for the second shaft is arranged above the gear of the first shaft and, viewed from above in the direction of the first shaft, is partly covering the gear of the first shaft.

Abstract: An industrial robot including a drive package with a motor and a gear between an output shaft of the motor and a third shaft of the robot in immediate proximity to the third shaft for rotation of an upper arm of the robot relative to a lower arm. The gear is a multistage gear transmission with parallel gear-wheel axes and one of the gear wheels of the gear is secured to the third shaft.
