  • Patent number: 11576007
    Abstract: A safety system and a method for localizing at least one object having a control and evaluation unit have at least one radio location system. The radio location system has at least three arranged radio stations. Position data of the object can be determined by means of the radio location system and can be transmitted to the control and evaluation unit. At least three radio transponders are arranged at the object, each arranged spaced apart from one another and the three radio transponders form different points on a plane and unambiguously define the plane in space. The control and evaluation unit is configured to compare the position data of the radio transponders and to form checked position data of the object. The control and evaluation unit is configured to form orientation data of the object from the position data of the radio transponders.

  • Patent number: 8310196
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the failsafe monitoring of an electromotive drive without additional sensors, including a drive having a three-phase control of an electric motor, detection of the current and voltage profiles of each of the three phases, as they are forwarded to the motor by drive electronics, determination of the load speed while using the detected current and voltage values, where the determination of the load speed takes place by calculating an observer model with reference to the detected current, to the detected voltage, to the frequency preset by the control and to the characteristic data of the motor and generation of a failsafe switch signal for the motor when the calculated load speed does not correspond to a preset desired speed within the framework of preset tolerances. The load torque can also be determined and monitored with reference to the observer model.

  • Patent number: 8209872
    Abstract: The present invention is an attachable rolling plate assembly which can be attached as a single unit to a portable cutting tool to facilitate the safe rolling movement of the portable cutting tool on the workpiece. The invention comprises a frame assembly formed from a single piece of molded material such as fiber enriched plastic having a pair of oppositely disposed longitudinal sidewalls with stabilizer fins extending therefrom, and a flat base portion having a pair of parallel stabilizer tubes molded therein. The invention further includes an adjustable bevel gear assembly by which the angle of orientation of the cutting blade can be quickly changed. The invention also includes a cutting guide assembly to facilitate a straight cut, reduce torsional rotation of the saw blade and reduce kickback of the saw.

  • Patent number: 7661194
    Abstract: The present invention is an attachable rolling plate assembly which can be attached as a single unit to a portable cutting tool to facilitate the safe rolling movement of the portable cutting tool on the workpiece. The invention comprises a front wheel housing portion, a back wheel housing portion, and two or three metal rods which interconnect the two housings. The housings removably retain a pair of spaced apart wheels and means to retain a cutting tool on the housings so that the cutting tool can be rolled on the workpiece during operation of the tool while the cutting blade portion of the tool extends between a pair of adjacent interconnecting rod members. The front and rear wheel housing assembly receives the cutting blade in between its pins or axles, so that the entire width of the saw plate is supported by the wheels during cutting.

  • Patent number: 6568088
    Abstract: A wheel attachment apparatus for a portable circular saw having a circular blade driven by a motor for cutting a workpiece into a cut-off portion and a remaining portion during a cutting process. The wheel attachment apparatus includes a flat bottom plate attached to the circular saw and to be placed above the working piece to support the circular saw during the cutting process, and having a slot opening to allow the circular blade of the circular saw to pass through for cutting the workpiece under the bottom plate. A set of roller wheels is attached to the bottom plate such that when the circular saw is used to cut the workpiece, the set of wheels is brought into contact with the workpiece and elevates the bottom plate so that there is no contact between the bottom plate and the workpiece and instead the wheels are rolling on the workpiece to reduce any friction between the bottom plate and the workpiece and ease the movement of the circular saw during the cutting process.
