Abstract: An electromechanical parking lock for a motor vehicle includes a locking element for reversible engagement in a parking lock wheel, an actuating element that can be pre-loaded by an actuating spring in order to insert the locking element into the parking lock wheel, an electric motor with an actuating unit for moving the actuating element out of the locked position (P) against the spring force of the actuating spring into an unlocked position (nP), and a solenoid that, in the unlocked position (nP), holds the actuating element pre-loaded via a securing element. The parking lock has an emergency locking position (Not-P) in which the parking lock is unlocked and in which the securing element can be released by the electric motor without changing the state of the solenoid so that the locked position (P) can be assumed.

Abstract: A vacuum drum for a labelling unit of a labelling machine has the segments arranged next to each other to collectively form a circumferential surface of the vacuum drum. A typical segment has vacuum-holders that holds ends of the label. The holders are offset along the drum's circumferential surface. The segment also has a carrier plate and a label arc between the first and second vacuum holders. The first vacuum-holder comprises a first housing and the second vacuum holder comprises a second housing. At least one of the carrier plate, the housings, and the label arc is formed by additive manufacturing.

Abstract: A motor vehicle parking lock includes a locking pawl, an actuator shaft, a pawl actuating element and a crank mechanism. The locking pawl is pivotable about a first rotational axis and includes a pawl tooth configured for engagement in a recess of a locking tooth system in a positively locking manner. The actuator shaft is rotatable about a second rotational axis to actuate the locking pawl and reversibly bring the pawl tooth into engagement with the recess. The pawl actuating element is linearly moveable along a translation axis to pivot the locking pawl. The crank mechanism converts rotary motion of the actuator shaft into linear motion of the pawl actuating element. The crank mechanism includes a connecting rod with an articulation point at the pawl actuating element, and a joint that connects the connecting rod and a crank. The joint is arranged between the pawl tooth and the articulation point.

Abstract: A device and a method for machining, especially for polishing of an optical lens, are proposed, there being both a lens changing apparatus and also a separate tool changing apparatus. The lens changing apparatus is located between a working space and a conveyor apparatus for lenses and is pivotally mounted around a horizontal axis. The tool changing apparatus is located laterally next to the working space.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for deblocking a lens, wherein the lens is blocked with a block material on a block piece. The block material is preheated by radiation. The blocked lens, the deblocked lens, and the deblocked block piece are handled by means of separate grippers. For deblocking, the lens and the block piece are held by opposing holding devices in a rotating manner, while a fluid jet acts on the block material from the side. After the deblocking, the lens and the block piece are cleaned simultaneously. Then, a holding device together with the deblocked lens pivot out from a working space. The deblocked lens is placed with the block side upward in a transport carrier. This makes possible a simple design and an optimized process sequence.

Abstract: A device and a method for polishing of an optical lens by means of rotary tool are proposed, a fixture for the lens being pivotable around a pivoting axis transversely to the axis of rotation by means of a push-rod adjustment and being pivotable up out of a machining position such that the lens can be changed from overhead. This allows a compact structure and easy changing of the lens.

Abstract: An apparatus for labeling a container includes a label-strip feed that provides a label strip having individual labels to be separated by cutting. A first portion of the strip abuts a first transfer-device that causes slippage between the first portion and itself. A cutting device cuts a length of the strip to create a cut label. A portion of the length abuts a second transfer-portion prior to cutting. A holding force generated by this second transfer-device causes slippage between the portion of the length and the second transfer-device. After the cutting device creates the cut label, it transports the cut label. Either one of the two transfer-devices is a linearly-conveying transfer device.

Abstract: A method for converting a first container stream into a second container stream that has a different width from said first container stream includes moving a container from the first container stream to a first transfer position, at the first transfer position, using a container holder of a conversion section to grip the container, to move it along a third transport direction until it arrives at a selected one of a several second transfer positions, and to then release it onto the second transport section, thereby enabling the container to join the second container stream. The second transfer positions are offset relative to each other in a direction along the second width.
