Abstract: The disclosure concerns a laser processing machine for processing elongate workpieces, for example tubes. The machine comprises a fixture for fixing an elongate workpiece relative to a machine part. The fixture has a pair of first clamping members and a pair of second clamping members. The first clamping members and the second clamping members each have a clamping face. The clamping members of each pair are movable in mutually opposite clamping directions towards each other to clamp the workpiece between their clamping faces.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are shown in the figures, where a method is presented for designing a component, including designing or receiving a model of the component; determining at least one mode shape of at least a portion of the model; redesigning the model based on the determined at least one mode shape to obtain a redesigned model of the component; and manufacturing the component in accordance with the redesigned model.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine, in particular an aircraft engine, including: a turbine connected via an input shaft device to a gearbox device having a sun gear, a planet carrier having a plurality of planet gears attached thereto, and a ring gear, the sun gear is connected to the input shaft device, the planet carrier or the ring gear is connected to a propulsive fan via an output shaft device of the gearbox device, with an inter-shaft bearing system being positioned radially between the input shaft device and the planet carrier of the gearbox device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a support device (200) for supporting a rod-shaped workpiece (110) for a machine tool (100) along a longitudinal axis (L) of a support area (220).

Abstract: This invention relates to a device for reducing the reaction force of the supporting booms positioning cylinder of an earthmoving machine, comprising a braking system applied between the supporting booms of the machine which is operated during the time in which the positioning cylinder remains inactive, thereby unloading part of the reaction force of the cylinder, hence reducing the stress.

Abstract: An excavator includes an undercarriage including a track, a turret rotatable on the undercarriage, the turret including a chassis, a first operative arm set, a second operative arm set, an adapter body coupling the first operative arm set to the second operative arm set; and a work tool coupled to the distal end of the second distal arm. The first operative arm set comprises (i) a main arm rotatably mounted on the chassis, (ii) a first distal arm rotatably mounted on the main arm, (iii) a main hydraulic actuator coupled to the main arm and the chassis and (iv) a first distal hydraulic actuator, with the main hydraulic actuator being operable to rotate the main arm relative to the chassis and the first distal hydraulic actuator being coupled to the distal arm.
