  • Patent number: 8575538
    Abstract: A safety system for safeguarding a moving, guided motion element against unwanted collisions with an object located on a motion path in the direction of motion of the motion element, including an object-detection device that includes a plurality of parts for detecting an object in an area of the motion element, wherein the object-detection device can be blocked with respect to object detection by a motion of the motion element, and an electronic unit that controls the motion of the motion element and is configured to assign a blocked state to the object-detection device when the motion element approaches, wherein in the blocked state an object and motion element does not trigger a safety mode, and wherein shut-off means are provided which, when a shut-off signal coming from the motion element is detected, transfer one or more parts of the object-detection device into the blocked state.

  • Patent number: 8471704
    Abstract: A door system includes a sensor device for monitoring a vertical door edge. The sensor device has a transmitter that generates a light beam that runs along the vertical door edge, and a receiver to receive the light emitted by the transmitter. Further, an element of the sensor device is mounted in a region of a base of the door, with the sensor element being either in or on the base in front of the vertical door edge.

The safety system includes an object-detection device for detecting an object in an area of the motion element. The object-detection device can be blocked with respect to object detection by a motion of the motion element, and has an electronic unit with which the motion of the motion element can be controlled and which is configured to assign a blocked state to the object-detection device when the motion element approaches in the blocked state an object or motion element will not trigger a safety mode and when a shut-off signal coming from the motion element is detected, at least part of the object-detection device is transferred into the blocked state.

  • Publication number: 20100325959
    Abstract: A safety system for safeguarding a moving, guided motion element against unwanted collisions with an object located on a motion path in the direction of motion of the motion element is proposed, which safety system comprises an object-detection device for detecting an object in an area of the motion element. The object-detection device can be blocked with respect to object detection by a motion of the motion element, and has an electronic unit with which the motion of the motion element can be controlled and which is configured to assign a blocked state to the object-detection device when the motion element approaches, in which blocked state an object or motion element does not trigger a safety mode, wherein shut-off mechanism are provided which, when a shut-off signal coming from the motion element is detected, transfer at least part of the object-detection device into the blocked state.

  • Publication number: 20100252643
    Abstract: An electrical generator (1) includes a stator (2) and a rotor (3) housed within the stator (2). The stator (2) has with a cooling circuit with a pump (6) pumping a cooling liquid through a pipe (7) provided with a plurality of branches (9) passing through the stator (2). The cooling circuit has a sensor (10) for measuring the temperature of the cooling liquid connected to a control unit (11) that is connected to and drives the pump (6). When the sensor (10) measures a cooling liquid temperature higher than a prefixed temperature, the control unit (11) increases the cooling liquid flow rate to increase the heat that the cooling liquid takes up from the stator (2), and when the sensor measures a cooling liquid temperature lower than said prefixed temperature the control unit decreases the cooling liquid flow rate to decrease the heat that the cooling liquid takes up from the stator (2).

  • Publication number: 20100245117
    Abstract: A system for detecting an object in a monitoring area with a plurality of sensors, each including a transmitter and a receiver, and an electronics unit for evaluating the receivers. The electronics unit is capable of assigning a contact address to a transmitter and/or to a receiver, wherein address assignment is effected such that after the address assignment it is possible for the electronics unit to associate receivers with transmitters.

  • Publication number: 20060118194
    Abstract: A cylinder barrel for a fluid power cylinder comprising an inner tube (12) of thermoplastic synthetic resin and an outer tube (14) of fiber reinforced synthetic thermoplastic resin radially surrounding the inner tube (12) and being coaxially arranged, an intermediate layer (16) being placed between the inner tube (12) and the outer tube (14) to provide a firm join between the two tubes (12 and 14). There is a provision such that between the inner tube (12) and the outer tube (14) an intermediate layer (16) is arranged to ensure a firm join between the two tubes (12 and 14). The invention also relates to a method for the production of a cylinder barrel for a fluid power cylinder, in which in sequence an inner tube (12) of thermoplastic synthetic resin and a coaxially arranged outer tube (14) radially surrounding the inner tube and manufactured of fiber reinforced thermoplastic synthetic resin is extruded.
