  • Pressure welding device with a measuring device, measuring in a contactless manner, for detecting the surface quality, the true running and/or the axial runout in a front welding area
    Patent number: 10029329
    Abstract: A pressure welding device (1), especially a friction welding device, holds workpiece parts (2, 4) in clamping devices (6, 7) and axially moves the workpieces towards each other by means of a feed device (21). The pressure welding device (1) has a measuring device (8, 13), measuring in a contactless manner. The measuring device detects the surface condition and/or the concentricity and/or true running and/or the axial runout and/or radial runout in a front welding region (3, 5) of a workpiece part (2, 4).

  • Workstation
    Patent number: 9981394
    Abstract: A human-robot cooperation (HRC) workstation has a programmable industrial robot (4) and a manual working area (14) for a worker (5) in a region surrounding the industrial robot (4). In the HRC workstation (1), the working areas of the industrial robot (4) and the worker (5) overlap. Contact between the worker (5) and the industrial robot (4) is possible. The workstation (1) is divided into a plurality of different zones (17, 18, 19, 20) having differently high levels of risk of hazard from the industrial robot (4) for the worker (5). The industrial robot (4) is suitable for human-robot cooperation.
