Publication number: 20120142512Abstract: The present invention relates to a machine for producing paper dunnage, which machine comprises a forming device (22, 22?, 22?) and a housing (2) which is penetrated by a guide channel (62). A drive (3, 54, 58) is provided in the housing, in order to convey a paper web (8) along a main transport direction through the forming device and the guide channel. The arrangement and/or the design of the guide channel after the paper web emerges from the forming device brings about a deflection in the main transport direction from a first direction (A) into a second direction (B).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2007Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: Pack-Tiger GmbHInventor: Reinhard Keller

Patent number: 7941290Abstract: In a method for error containment and diagnosis in a fluid power system the fluid volumetric flow in the overall system or at least a part thereof and the fluid pressure (P) is detected as a measurement quantity in each case during a duty cycle and is compared with stored references. In each case at the point in time of a deviation or a change in the deviation from the reference it is determined at which component or at which components (10 through 14) of the system an event has occurred influencing fluid consumption in order to recognize same as subject to error. Guide value quantities (Q/P) are derived from the respective volumetric flow values (Q) and the measured pressure (P) and are integrated or summated over the duty cycle to form guide values (KD), a corresponding guide value reference curve (KDref) as a reference being chosen from a stored selection matrix, which has the guide value reference curves (KDref) or time dependent guide values for different operating conditions.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2007Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Festo AG & Co. KGInventors: Jan Bredau, Reinhard Keller
