  • Publication number: 20240162692
    Abstract: A clamping device for holding at least one conductor includes: a housing element having: one entry opening and one exit opening for guiding the conductor through the housing element, and a bearing surface for the conductor in the housing element, arranged at least in some regions between the entry opening and the exit opening; and a clamping element for pressing the conductor onto the bearing surface. The clamping element is arranged so as to be movable on the housing element between a first position and a second position, and, when in the second position, at least brakes at least movement of the conductor out of the entry opening counter to an insertion direction.

  • Patent number: 11887755
    Abstract: A device for marking a conductor includes: a gripper for gripping the conductor extending in a longitudinal direction; a heating jaw assembly having two jaws spaced from each other in an open position in a first transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction; and a transport mechanism for dispensing a foil tape extending along the first transverse direction on a first side of the heating jaw assembly, a foil side of the foil tape facing away from the heating jaw assembly being weldable by heat and a foil side of the foil tape facing the heating jaw assembly including a marking of the conductor; and a gripper mechanism for moving the gripper along a second transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and transverse to the first transverse direction when the heating jaw assembly is in the open position. The gripper moves the gripped conductor.

  • Patent number: 9566674
    Abstract: A method for mounting components, in particular terminal blocks, on a supporting rail, wherein the components are removed from at least one magazine by means of a first device, which comprises a receptacle for the components and moves automatically to and fro between a starting position and an end position, and are plugged onto the supporting rail, which is held in a first mounting position by a second device, includes the second device automatically transferring the supporting rail into a second mounting position after one of the components has been plugged on and a further component, which is arranged next to said component in the longitudinal direction of the supporting rail when the latter is in the fully equipped state, is plugged onto the supporting rail held in the second mounting position, in an analogous manner to the component.

  • Publication number: 20060166841
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of phenothiazine granules having a narrow particle size distribution, phenothiazine having a purity of at least 98% in liquid form being forced through a means provided with holes and a frequency being applied to the liquid phenothiazine and the liquid phenothiazine emerging through the holes entering a cooling medium having a temperature in the range of from ?196 to =120° C. so that the liquid phenothiazine drops thus produced are brought to a temperature below the melting point and said drops are, if required, further solidified in a downstream cooling zone.

  • Patent number: 6983612
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a phenothiazine granulate with a narrow particle size distribution. At least 98% pure phenothiazine in liquid form is pressed through a device provided with boreholes and a frequency is applied to said liquid phenothiazine. The liquid phenothiazine discharged through the boreholes enters a cooling medium having a temperature of between ?196 and +120° C. The drops of liquid phenothiazine thus produced are brought to a temperature below melting point and are optionally solidified in another post-cooling area. Optionally, fine-grain particles or coarse-grained particles thus formed can be subsequently removed by appropriate methods. The bulk density of the obtained phenothiazine granulates ranges more particularly from 720–780 kg/m3.

At least 98% pure phenothiazine in liquid form is pressed through a device provided with boreholes and a frequency is applied to said liquid phenothiazine. The liquid phenothiazine discharged through the boreholes enters a cooling medium having a temperature of between −196 and +120° C. The drops of liquid phenothiazine thus produced are brought to a temperature below melting point and are optionally solidified in another post-cooling area. Optionally, fine-grain particles or coarse-grained particles thus formed can be subsequently removed by appropriate methods.
