  • Publication number: 20250242471
    Abstract: In a method for pre-profiling a grinding tool, a device, in particular a gear grinding machine, for hard fine machining of workpieces and for pre-profiling grinding tools is provided, which includes a workpiece spindle for rotating a workpiece, a grinding spindle, which is feedable at least along an X-grinding-spindle-infeed-axis, for rotating a grinding tool, in particular a grinding worm or a grinding wheel, and a profiling device with a fixed first profiling plate. A grinding tool blank, in particular a grinding worm blank, is provided on the grinding spindle of the device. The device is brought into a profiling configuration. The grinding spindle is fed until the grinding tool blank is operatively connected to the first profiling plate. Finally, the grinding tool blank is pre-profiled.

  • Publication number: 20250242423
    Abstract: A device for transporting an object to and/or from a grinding machine includes a base, a carrier arranged on the base and rotatable with respect to the base about a first axis of rotation, a swivel device arranged on the carrier for transporting the object. The swivel device is pivotable with respect to the carrier about a second axis of rotation, and the device is designed to carry out a rotational movement of the carrier about the first axis of rotation and a swivel movement of the swivel device about the second axis of rotation at least at times simultaneously in such a way that the object can be transported by means of a transport movement of the swivel device resulting from the superimposition of the rotational movement of the carrier with the swivel movement of the swivel device.

  • Patent number: 12017312
    Abstract: A control panel for a machine tool has a housing (1). The housing comprises a housing base part (2) and a housing front part (3). A display (19) and a control element panel (20, 21) are attached to the front part of the housing. In the region of the housing bottom side, the housing front part is connected to the housing base part by miter hinges so that it can be swiveled to provide access to the interior of the housing. Fold-out supports (13) make it possible to use an alphanumeric keyboard (15) for maintenance work. Indentations (5) on both sides of the housing rear allow the housing to be easily grasped. Control elements (18) are arranged in the indentations.

  • Patent number: 9666460
    Abstract: A through-type furnace for substrates comprises a furnace with a channel and a transport system for the transport of the substrates through the channel. The channel is bounded by a base, a front side wall, a rear side wall and a top part. The base contains a plurality of first holes which are connectable to a protective gas source so that protective gas can be supplied during operation. The front side wall of the channel comprises a longitudinal slit which extends parallel to the passage direction and which is bounded by a bottom edge and an upper edge. The transport system comprises at least one clamp for transporting the substrates through the channel. The clamp is movable back and forth along the longitudinal slit of the channel. Such a through-type furnace is in particular suitable for use in a soft solder die bonder.
