  • Publication number: 20250041966
    Abstract: A laser processing head for processing a workpiece by a laser beam includes at least one scanning device for diverting the laser beam, and at least one collimator for collimating the laser beam. The at least one collimator is movable during operation along a propagation direction of the laser beam, whereby a diameter of the laser beam incident on the workpiece is changeable.

  • Patent number: 11628559
    Abstract: An industrial robot for material processing includes a manipulator with a base, a link, an arm and a hand. A processing device of the industrial robot is movable by the manipulator and is attached to the hand of the manipulator, and is supplied with a medium via a medium line. Provided for the medium line is a drag chain subjected to a traction directed away from a connection of the drag chain close to a processing location by a tensioning device. The tensioning device has a tensioning lever and a restoring device. The tensioning lever is attached to a partial length of the drag chain. The tensioning lever is deflectable, counter to an action of a restoring force generated by the restoring device, towards the connection of the drag chain close to the processing location such that the tensioning lever performs a pivoting movement about a lever pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 10931527
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for implementing an autonomous configuration system for configuring a service infrastructure are provided. An autonomous configuration system implements a service infrastructure configuration manager to identify discovered configuration data. The discovered configuration data supports circumventing a routing protocol for service infrastructure communications via an edge infrastructure, such that, the service infrastructure is alternatively configured to access remote configuration data based on the discovered configuration data. The discovered configuration data is discovered based an autonomous discovery service (e.g., sniffing service or a casting service). An initial configuration state is configured in the service infrastructure, based on the discovered configuration data. The service infrastructure can communicate with a service provider infrastructure associated with the service infrastructure to access the remote configuration data.
