  • Patent number: 11862413
    Abstract: A detection device (18) for detecting the position of a moving object comprises a base (20); an arm (22) that is mounted rotatable to the base (20), wherein the arm (22) is rotatable around a first rotational axis (26) and has a free end (28) for contact with the moving object; and a sensor (24) that is configured to detect rotation of the arm (22) relative to the base (20), wherein the sensor (24) has a first part and a second part, wherein the first part moves with the arm (22), and the second part is attached to the base (20). The first part is a first component of a magnet (40) switch (42) pair, wherein the switch is an electrical switch (42) that is configured to be actuated by the magnetic field of the magnet (40), and the second part is another component of the magnet (40) switch (42) pair.

  • Publication number: 20220212878
    Abstract: A system for sterilizing sterilization units by radiation exposure comprises a conveyance system for transporting sterilization units through a sterilizing environment along a conveying path. The conveyance system comprises at least one lifting beam conveyor with at least one stationary supporting beam and at least one movable lifting beam, which is movable with respect to the at least one stationary supporting beam in a longitudinal and a vertical direction. The at least one stationary supporting beam has a central region between two fixed bearings, which is supported via at least one tensile-loaded tensile element, which is fastened to the central region and to at least one vertical strut, which is arranged in the region of at least one of the fixed bearings, in such a manner that the tensile element extends in a direction diagonal to the longitudinal and the vertical direction.
