  • Extrusion plant with synchronized drive units, and method of synchronization of drive units
    Patent number: 7372220
    Abstract: In a method for synchronizing drive units, a target value of the speed of each drive unit of a plurality of drive units speed is computed by determining the product of a maximum speed of the drive unit, a unit-dependent normalized ratio value of the drive unit, and a synchronization factor which is identical for all drive units. The ratio value defines the relative speeds of the individual drive units. Changing the synchronization factor causes synchronous speed changes of the drive units. As a result, a lasting synchronization can be realized across the entire speed spectrum.

  • Device and Method for Optical Precision Measurement
    Publication number: 20070247639
    Abstract: A device and method of optical precision measurement of a component. In the method, an optical probe is provided at a location relative to the component (120) and a source beam directed to the component (122). Deviation is detected (124) and stored in a component characteristic dataset (126). The optical source is moved to other locations relative to the component (128) and additional data acquired (130). The device includes an optical probe (24) providing a source beam (38), a probe stage (22) operable to rotate the optical probe (24) about a ?-axis, a component stage (26) operable to rotate the component (28) about a ?-axis, and a position sensitive detector. The probe (22) directs the source beam (38) to the component (28), the source beam (38) generates a resultant beam from the component (28), and the position sensitive detector detects the resultant beam.
