Patent number: 11507050Abstract: The invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece by means of a milling tool arranged on a rotatable spindle, the spindle being moved relative to the workpiece or the workpiece being moved relative to the spindle along a machining path and, at the same time, the spindle rotating about a spindle axis. In said method, an improvement in the surface quality is achieved by controlling the rotational speed and/or the phase position of the rotation of the spindle along the machining path, the machining path comprising linear parallel tracks and the phase position of the spindle along the machining path being substantially the same on adjacent tracks, the phase position being controlled by varying the rotational speed of the spindle and/or the advancing speed of the spindle relative to the workpiece along the machining path.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Inventor: Joachim Mayer

Publication number: 20200102194Abstract: The present invention relates to a structural frame of a crane, lifting device, material handler or a similar machine, comprising at least one elongate structural-frame strut. The invention also relates to such a machine comprising such a structural frame. According to a first aspect, it is proposed not to weld or screw a separate doubled panel or separate retaining lugs to the structural-frame element as a reinforcement, but rather to provide the structural-frame strut with integrally formed, seam-free reinforcement layers in the required, highly loaded region, in order to achieve an organically produced increase in wall thickness and/or cross section in a smooth and harmonious manner. These reinforcement layers are produced using 3D printing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2019Publication date: April 2, 2020Inventor: Joachim MAYER

Patent number: 10392233Abstract: The present invention relates to a crane tower comprising a crane tower base, which has a crane tower or a crane tower element fixed thereto and from which the crane tower extends upwards, and a tension element for bracing the crane tower 1 on the crane tower base. The tension element has one of its two ends connected to the crane tower base and its respective other end connected to the crane tower or to a coupling element that is connected to the crane tower. The crane tower is characterized in that the tension element extends outside of the crane tower. It is thus possible to reduce the dimensions of the crane tower without causing any change of bending resistance or to increase the bending resistance on the basis of the same dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbHInventor: Joachim Mayer
