  • Patent number: 11549215
    Abstract: A method for a treatment of a product web which is transported in an advance direction includes guiding the product web through a treatment gap which is formed by a first treatment roll being arranged in a first working position and a contour tool, providing a second roll, moving the second roll into a second working position in which the second roll forms a second treatment gap with the counter tool, and moving the first treatment roll into a first parked position in which the first treatment roll does not form a treatment gap with the counter tool.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2023
    Assignee: ANDRITZ KUESTERS GMBH

  • Patent number: 7561392
    Abstract: A process control system (1) comprises at least one process control computer (2) and field units (4) connected thereto via a bus system. An, in particular, intrinsically safe data transmission device (5) is connected between the process control computer and the assigned field units. This data transmission device comprises a data adaptation device (6) and a data distributing device (7). In order to be able to connect more field units per data adaptation device while simultaneously reducing the costs per field unit, the data adaptation device (6) and its assigned supply devices (8) have an explosion-proof design, and each supply device is connected to the data distributing devices via an explosion-proof line, whereby these data distributing devices or field units connected thereto have a barrier device for limiting the applied power.
