Patent number: 10506149Abstract: An endoscope device for the automated inspection of the interior of a transmission. The endoscope has a control unit and an evaluation unit, a feed unit having a swivel element, a changer magazine having a plurality of guide channels and an endoscope. The control unit is connected to the endoscope and is largely provided for controlling the endoscope and for transmitting images to the evaluation unit. The swivel element is provided for aligning a distal end of the endoscope with respect to a relevant guide channel, and the feed unit is provided for axially passing the endoscope through the relevant guide channel. Furthermore, a transmission, in particular for a wind turbine, has a transmission housing having at least one access opening for receiving an endoscope device. Automated inspection of the interior of the transmission can be conducted by the endoscope device.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Daniel Wolf, Johannes Schäfer, Marton Kurucz

Publication number: 20110006559Abstract: In a method of making a body for a motor vehicle, shaped components are produced from blanks using at least one forming process. The shaped components are provided with rivet holes, and a coating is applied onto the shaped components for corrosion protection. After applying the corrosion protection, the shaped components are joined with the body via rivets.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2010Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicant: Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbHInventors: JOHANNES SCHÄFERS, Ulrich Lütke-Bexten, Markus Kettler

Publication number: 20100203272Abstract: A method for producing a motor vehicle component and a motor vehicle component produced by this method are disclosed. A tubular body made of metal, in particular high-strength steel, is filled with a granular material and subsequently heated. During the heat treatment, the granular material melts and then hardens during cool-down to form an interior reinforcement.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2010Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbHInventors: JOHANNES SCHÄFERS, ULRICH LÜTKE-BEXTEN, MARKUS KETTLER

Publication number: 20060290166Abstract: A door structure of a motor vehicle includes an inside door panel, and a single-piece reinforcement element which is disposed below a window parapet of the door structure and non-detachably secured to the inside door panel at a side distal to an outside door panel. The reinforcement element includes a wraparound frame having a top frame side extending along the window parapet, a bottom frame side extending along a lower edge of the door structure, a front frame side disposed in a hinge area between the top frame side and the bottom frame side, and a rear frame side disposed in a lock area between the top frame side and the bottom frame side, thereby defining an opening. Disposed in the opening and formed in one piece with the frame is an embossed door impact beam which extends from the front frame side to the rear frame side. The reinforcement element is made of high-strength hot formable steel defined by a tensile strength ranging from 1400 N/mm2 to 1600 N/mm2.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbHInventors: Ludger Gehringhoff, Johannes Schafers

Publication number: 20040150249Abstract: A side impact beam for incorporation in a motor vehicle, in particular in a vehicle door, includes a profiled section of sheet metal having at least two longitudinal beads in side-by-side disposition. Each bead has an apex and two flanks depending from the apex, thereby defining an inner flank and an outer flank, wherein the inner flanks of the beads confront one another. The inner flanks are interconnected by a center web and are disposed in V-shaped relationship at an angle from 25° to 60°.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Applicant: BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Ludger Gehringhoff, Johannes Schafers

Patent number: 6517142Abstract: A side impact support is described that can be incorporated in a vehicle door, for example, the door of an automobile. The side impact support is made of a metal sheet with a hat-shaped cross-section and two lateral legs connected by a web. The width of the end sections of the side impact support increases towards its end faces. According to the invention, the hat-shaped cross-section of the end sections extends to the end faces and increases in height and width. Preferably, side flanges projecting in the transverse direction are provided on the longitudinal edges of the profile, wherein the side flanges extend beyond the end sections to the end faces.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2001Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Benteler AGInventors: Ludger Gehringhoff, Johannes Schäfers

Patent number: 4780881Abstract: In order to prevent, in the microwave excitation of a laser gas, the development of wall boundary layers and to attain a homogeneously large volume plasma, the laser gas is delivered in the inclusion zone of the microwave after passing a current-forming element where it is ignited by a coaxial wave guide arrangement. The ignited laser gas then spreads with the microwave in the discharge segment where it produces a homogeneous, excited laser-active medium. The homogeneity is additionally improved with the operation of the microwave guide near the "cutoff-width".Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1988Date of Patent: October 25, 1988Assignee: Messer.
