  • Patent number: 11108309
    Abstract: A squirrel cage rotor, is made up of a shaft, a rotor laminated core with rotor bars which are arranged in the interior, and short-circuiting rings with clearances through which the bar ends of the rotor bars extend out of the rotor laminated core. The rotor bars, on their surface, at least partially have an electrical insulation layer, wherein the electrical insulation layer is cohesively connected only to the surface of the rotor bars. The squirrel cage rotor is intended, in particular, for use in an asynchronous machine.

  • Patent number: 11014212
    Abstract: A manufacturing system for producing airplane structural components, including a drilling unit for producing bores in a material assembly made of at least two material plies for the purposes of inserting fastening elements and having a measuring unit for ascertaining geometry parameters for a previously produced bore. The measuring unit includes measuring electronics with an optical sensor element, a measuring optical unit and a measuring lance. The measuring unit produces an optical measurement beam that emerges from the measuring lance via the measuring optical unit and that is incident on a measurement point on the respective bore inner surface. A measurement movement between measuring lance and material assembly is provided in a measurement cycle and the measuring unit cyclically ascertains distance values to various measurement points at a scanning rate during the measurement movement and ascertains at least one geometry parameter for the respective bore from the distance values.
