Patent number: 11167305Abstract: A method for producing vehicles, wherein vehicle bodies are conveyed through multiple system zones of a production system in order to produce vehicles. Different types of work are carried out on the vehicle bodies in two respective system zones which follow each other. The vehicle bodies are conveyed through the system zones of the surface treatment system at least from a corrosion protection treatment to a final assembly using a single conveyor system in a surface treatment system for treating the surface of the vehicle bodies. A surface treatment system is provided for treating the surface of vehicle bodies, having multiple system zones, and the vehicle bodies are treated in a different manner in two respective system zones which follow each other. The surface treatment system is designed such that the vehicle bodies can be conveyed through the system zones of the system using a single conveyor system.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: EISENMANN SEInventors: Stephan Schwab, Urs Gümbel

Patent number: 10710108Abstract: A coating system for coating objects with a coating material includes at least one material source for a coating material, which can be fluidically connected to an application device. A feed system can be used for feeding coating material back to its material source in a feeding-back direction over a feed path. It can be determined by means of a detection device whether coating material or some other material is present in a control portion of the feed path, the detection device generating a corresponding output signal. Also specified is a method for coating objects in which it is determined during the feeding back of coating material to its material source whether regions made up of material other than the coating material are being carried along by the coating material to be fed back.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: EISENMANN SEInventors: Stephan Schwab, Tobias Mozer

Patent number: 9956574Abstract: A device for treating objects having a treatment chamber, which has a wall having a gap extending between first and wall segments. The device includes an apparatus having at least one component which extends from outside of the treatment chamber into the treatment chamber through the gap and can be moved along the gap. A sealing assembly seals the gap leaving at least one passage opening, through which the at least one component extends. The sealing assembly includes a first and a second sealing element, which extend on the first or second wall segment along the gap and have a coupling edge, the coupling edges being complementary to each other. The coupling edges are coupled to each other and, during the movement of the at least one component, separate from each other in front of the passage opening and couple to each other behind the passage opening.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2014Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: EISENMANN SEInventor: Stephan Schwab

Publication number: 20130202361Abstract: A base frame for a self-erecting marine platform is used in a method for erecting the self-erecting marine platform, which includes initially rigidly anchoring the base frame to the sea floor. Bearing columns of the marine platform are then hydraulically extended, for example, until the columns come into contact with support regions for supporting the marine platform under water. The bearing columns are then rigidly connected to the base frame. The self-erecting marine platform can therefore be used in deeper sea water.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2011Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Gerald Franz Giering, Stephan Schwab
