Abstract: A device for drying and sintering metal-containing ink on a substrate enables homogeneous irradiation of the substrate, has compact construction, and is simple and economical to produce. Optical infrared radiators have a cylindrical radiator tube and a longitudinal axis, and emit radiation having an IR-B radiation component of at least 30% and an IR-C radiation component of at least 5% of total radiator output power. The radiators are arranged in a module with their longitudinal axes running parallel to each other and transverse to the transport direction. They thereby irradiate on the surface of the substrate an irradiation field, which is divided into a drying zone and a sintering zone arranged downstream of the drying zone in the transport direction. The drying zone is exposed to at least 15% less average irradiation density than the sintering zone along a center axis running in the transport direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for aligning segments with one another include a positioning device and a projection device, installed on the construction site, projecting projection lines onto the segments from different directions so that distances between the projection lines and reference points applied to the segments can be determined. The position of the individual reference points on the segments can be determined with reference to a coordinate system by an evaluation device. Based on the spatial arrangement of the reference points, theoretical best-fit planes and best-fit lines are then generated for each segment. The segments are levelled by moving the positioning device or adjusting the shortest possible distance between the theoretical best-fit planes and best-fit lines to the projection lines and are aligned by again moving the positioning device so that the distances between the theoretical best-fit planes and best-fit lines of the first segment and of the second segment are minimised.
