  • Patent number: 10669049
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for filling a receptacle, comprising at least one filling station (48) for filling at least one receptacle (36), and at least one receptacle holder (38) for conveying the receptacle (36) relative to the filling station (48), characterized in that at least one driving surface (13) and at least one mover (20) which can be coupled to the driving surface (13) especially in a magnetic manner are provided, the mover (20) being arranged so as to be movable and/or rotatable on the driving surface (13) in at least two degrees of freedom, and in that the receptacle holder (38) is disposed on the mover (20).

  • Patent number: 10312787
    Abstract: A transport system and a system for moving permanent-magnet-excited transport bodies by an inductively excited magnetic field includes induction coils, a movably supported first reluctance element, and an actuator. The induction coils are configured for a current to flow through the induction coils in order to drive the transport bodies in a plane without contact. The actuator is configured to bring the first reluctance element from a first position into a second position. The permanent magnetic field of a transport body located over the first reluctance element experiences a lower magnetic resistance in a magnetic circuit through the first reluctance element in the second position than in the first position.

  • Patent number: 9878813
    Abstract: The invention proposes an apparatus for transporting a container relative to a filling station, comprising at least one filling station (48) for filling at least one container (36), and also comprising at least one container mount (38) for transporting the container (36) relative to the filling station (48), characterized in that at least one drive surface (13) and at least one mover (20), which can be coupled in particular magnetically to the drive surface (13), are provided, wherein the mover (20) is arranged on the drive surface (13) such that it can be displaced and/or rotated in at least two degrees of freedom, and in that the container mount (38) is connected to the mover (20).

  • Publication number: 20160229645
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer device comprising a moveable element (2), a stationary guide rail (3), and a linear in motor drive device (4) for driving the moveable element (2). Said moveable element (2) comprises support elements (5) which can be brought into contact with the guide rail (3), and at least one of the support elements has a contact area which is arranged at an angle (?) not equal to 90° to a vertical axis (H) of the moveable element (2) and at an angle (?) not equal to 90° to a transverse axis (Q) of the moveable element (2).
