  • Publication number: 20090044654
    Abstract: A module for the manufacturing of automated moving structures, comprising a first substantially plate-like element and a second substantially plate-like element, which face each other and are mutually articulated so that they can oscillate by way of the interposition of hinge elements and elements for actuating the relative oscillation of the first and second substantially plate-like elements, the automated moving modular structure comprising two or more modules arranged in series to each other, the second substantially plate-like element of each module coinciding with the first substantially plate-like element of the module that follows it.

  • Patent number: 7085664
    Abstract: A method for controlling the axes of motors, for machine tools and the like, including the steps of: calculating, from a sequence of relative position data of each axis and of actuation states at each definite instant, a path for each individual axis, starting from parameters of initial speed, number of steps and final speed; defining a three-dimensional matrix that contains, for each axis, initial speed, number of steps and final speed, each element of the three-dimensional table, constituted by the intersection in space of the three parameters, containing an address that is suitable to point to the vector which describes a corresponding waveform; driving the axis according to the waveform.

  • Patent number: 6251186
    Abstract: A machine for applying adhesive to preset regions of products in general, particularly soles for shoes, comprising a conveyor for continuously moving individual products to be glued, a three-dimensional vision unit for acquiring a spatial shape of each individual product in transit, a first gluing head, which is driven by the vision unit to apply adhesive to a first portion of the product in transit, and at least one second gluing head, which is driven by the vision unit to apply the adhesive to a second portion of the product in transit which is different from the first portion.
