  • ALIGNMENT SYSTEM FOR APPROACHING A VEHICLE TO A TARGET OBJECT SPATIALLY SPACED THEREFROM
    Publication number: 20240083527
    Abstract: An alignment system for approaching a vehicle to a target object spatially spaced therefrom, including an object detection device attached to the vehicle and a coupling element, which in an end position detachably holds the target object, the object detection device being aligned in the direction of the target object and the data from the object detection device being used to generate an image in which the target object together with a guide marker can be seen during the approach of the vehicle. The guide marker is applied to at least one component of the vehicle arranged in an entry area of the coupling element.

  • Laser welding method for stator
    Patent number: 11183906
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stator (10) for an electric machine comprising a stator package (12); a stator winding, which comprises a plurality of rod-shaped conductors (16a, 16b), which are inserted through the stator package (12) in an axial direction (A); wherein at least one first conductor (16b) and an adjacent second conductor (16b) of the plurality of conductors are electrically connected to each other on an end face (20) of the stator package (12) by means of a bridge (34) formed by laser welding; wherein the bridge (34) formed by laser welding extends at an angle to the axial direction (A) between the conductor ends (18a, 18b) of the first conductor (16a) and the second conductor (16b).
