  • Publication number: 20250018599
    Abstract: Process and slip for the production of ceramic shaped parts made of zirconium oxide ceramic by a 3D inkjet printing process. The slip contains zirconium oxide which is suspended in a liquid medium, wherein the slip has a zirconium oxide content of from 68 to 88 wt.-% and contains not more than 5 wt.-% organic components. The process for the production of ceramic components comprises the layered shaping and subsequent sintering of the desired component from the slip.

  • Publication number: 20240308143
    Abstract: A method for setting a drop shape in a printing process, including the steps of controlling (S101) a piezo element of a printing nozzle by a first voltage profile; detecting (S102) an electric current value averaged over the first voltage profile or a sound amplitude averaged over the first voltage profile; controlling (S103) the piezo element of the printing nozzle by a second voltage profile; detecting (S104) an electric current value averaged over the second voltage profile or a sound amplitude averaged over the second voltage profile; and selecting (S105) the voltage profile with the lower detected current value or the lower detected sound amplitude.

  • Publication number: 20240308224
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a print head (103), including the steps of driving (S101) a piezo element within the print head with a sequence of voltage profiles; and detecting (S102) a sound level, a current flow, a resistance, an impedance, and/or a temperature of the print head during the driving.

  • Patent number: 6161813
    Abstract: A solenoid valve comprising a magnet armature which is embodied as having multiple parts and has an armature disk and an armature bolt. The magnet armature is guided in a slider. A damping device is provided in order to prevent post-pulse oscillation of the armature after a closing of the solenoid valve. The required short switching times of the solenoid valve can be exactly maintained with a device of this kind. The solenoid valve is designated for use in injection systems with a common rail.
