  • Patent number: 7222901
    Abstract: A vacuum handling device comprises includes a vacuum source having a suction nozzle means (6) operating on the ejector principle and furthermore a suction gripper (3) which possesses a gripper part (26) connected with the suction side of the suction nozzle (6). The housing of the vacuum source (2) and of the suction gripper (3) constitute a housing unit (4), the gripper part (26) being adjustably mounted on the housing unit (4) for setting in the acting suction direction (44) thereof.

  • Patent number: 7140389
    Abstract: A vacuum producing device (1) possessing a principal suction nozzle unit (2) with a shut off valve (27) on the upstream side thereof and an additional suction nozzle unit (3) connected in parallel to the principal suction nozzle unit (2). While the supply of pressure medium for the principal suction nozzle unit (2) is controlled in a manner dependent on the negative pressure produced by controlling the shut off valve (27), the additional suction nozzle unit (3) remains (3) constantly in operation. This means that a complete build up of vacuum may be ensured in conjunction with a complete switching off of the principal suction nozzle unit (2) together with a resulting air economizing effect.

  • Patent number: 6935845
    Abstract: A plurality of vacuum producing units capable of being employed together or independently of each other, each have a housing. The housing is internally provided with at least one ejector receiving means fitted with an ejector insert. The housings have the same transverse dimensions of at least one ejector receiving means. Individual vacuum producing units are fitted with different types of ejector inserts in the ejector receiving means for setting different fluid flow paths.

  • Patent number: 6729852
    Abstract: A vacuum producing means having a housing (2) with an inlet connection (4) and a suction connection (6) arranged opposite to same. The housing (2) comprises a suction nozzle means (16) and a gage pressure pulse means (35) arranged alongside same with the same alignment, for producing a fluid gage pressure pulse to be delivered into the suction space. The gage pressure pulse means (35) comprises a switching valve (35) combined with a pressure plenum (37), the valve member of the switching valve being so driven in a manner dependent of the differential thereat that the pressure plenum is either connected fluidwise with the inlet connection (4) or with the suction connection (6).

  • Patent number: 6496092
    Abstract: An electromagnetic drive device is proposed comprising an electromagnet (21) having a magnetizable core (22) with a plurality of limbs (23 and 24) and an energizable winding arrangement (35) surrounding at least one limb (23 and 24) of the core (22). Furthermore there is a magnetizable magnet armature (15) able to be moved in relation to the core ((22) by varying the winding arrangement current. The (22) core has at least one U arrangement and is formed essentially by a plurality of sheet metal elements (30) resting against each other and extending athwart the direction of the parallel limbs (23 and 24), the parallel limbs being respectively surrounded by one winding (33 and 34) of the winding arrangement (35).
