Abstract: A device for handling pot-shaped hollow bodies, more particularly transport containers for semiconductor wafers or for EUV lithography masks includes a wall, which encloses an inner space, a gripping and moving apparatus arranged in an inner space for moving the hollow body within the inner space and a wall opening which is formed by the wall, can be closed by a closure body and through which the inner space is accessible. The device includes a lid handling unit which can be detachably connected to the lid. The lid can be connected to the lid handling unit and is separated from the hollow body.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning pot-shaped hollow bodies, in particular transport containers for semiconductor wafers or for EUV lithography masks includes a support wall onto which the hollow body can be placed by way of its edge surface, a locking device by means of which the hollow body can be sealingly and releasably connected to the support wall, a passage opening which is formed by the support wall and is arranged radially within the locking device, a cleaning device by means of which a first cleaning fluid can by dispensed for cleaning the hollow body inner surface when the hollow body is connected to the support wall and a first discharge channel with a first end. The first discharge channel is in fluidic communication with the passage opening and with which the first cleaning fluid dispensed by the cleaning device can be discharged.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an IO link for linking a field device to a master assembly.

Abstract: An IO link module has at least one electrical terminal for connecting an electronic device and an electronic display device for displaying connection identification information of the at least one terminal. The display device is designed to permanently display the connection identification information free of a power supply using an electrical energy source which is independent of the IO link module.

Abstract: The invention relates to transporting rollers (22) for transporting essentially flat articles, to holding-down means (23) for pressing the articles onto transporting rollers (22), and to a transporting system (30). In this case, the transporting roller (22) is of at least two-part configuration and comprises a spindle element and at least one track element (1), the latter enclosing the spindle element in a tubular manner.

Abstract: A connecting plug for connecting an input/output unit to a machine control with a central bus, wherein the input/output unit is to be connected to a multi-strand electrical cable connected to a bus node, has a housing with a first plug connection for an incoming cable and a second plug connection for an outgoing cable. The incoming cable is looped through to the outgoing cable forming a looped-through cable. The housing has a connector for the input/output unit. An electronic device is arranged in the housing and connected to the connector. The connector is connected by the electronic device to the looped-through cable.

Abstract: A contact clip for an insulated, multi-strand electric cable has first and second clip parts engaging one another. The first clip part has a receptacle for correctly positioning the cable and the second clip part has contact pins assigned to a strand of the cable, respectively. The contact pins pierce the cable insulation and electrically contact the strands of the cable. They are positioned transversely to a longitudinal cable direction adjacent to and at a spacing from one another. This spacing matches the strand spacing. The receptacle is wider than the cable in the transverse cable direction. A fitting member is inserted into the receptacle for determining a lateral position of the cable in the receptacle. A first contact pin, depending on the lateral position of the cable within the receptacle, either engages one of the strands of the cable or the fitting member.
