Publication number: 20240116297Abstract: A laser marking system (200) comprising first and second laser marking heads (201, 202) configured to mark a product (221, 222). The laser marking system comprises a first controller (231) associated with the first laser marking head (201) and a second controller (232) associated with the second laser marking head (202). The first and second controllers (231, 232) are configurable to receive data (205) indicating information to be marked on the product (221, 222), generate laser marking vectors based upon the received data, and control their associated laser marking head (201, 202) based on the laser marking vectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2021Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Christian Wulf, Matthias Fechner, Andreas Luechow, Christian Seuthe, Till Franitza, Peter J Kueckendahl, Stefan Sixel, Stefan Grossmann, Christian Kerker

Patent number: 10549796Abstract: A cabin suspension arrangement for a utility vehicle, having a plurality of trailing arms that extend in a longitudinal direction, by which a driver's cabin is mounted and can pivoted relative to a vehicle frame. Two of the trailing arms are arranged spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction that extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, are connected to one another by a torsion bar spring that extends in the transverse direction, and are arranged at the same height in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and to the transverse direction, thereby forming a first trailing arm pair. Two other trailing arms are arranged spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction, are arranged at the same height in the vertical direction, and thereby form a second trailing arm pair, which is spaced apart, in the vertical direction, from the first trailing arm pair.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignees: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AG, DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Eike Helm, Jens Eismann, Stefan Grossmann, Donald E.
