Abstract: A power cutting tool includes at least one cutting strand, and at least one guide unit that is configured to guide the cutting strand. The power cutting tool further includes at least one coding unit which has at least one coding element that is configured to encode at least one coupling interface of the guide unit.

Abstract: A tool coupling device is configured to hold a machine tool cutting device. In particular, the tool coupling device is configured to hold a machine tool cutting device configured as a closed system, having at least one cutting train clamping unit for generating a cutting train clamping force and having at least one tool-holding unit comprising at least one movably mounted tool-holder element. The tool coupling device includes at least one movement-coupling unit by which the tool-holder element can be coupled with a clamping element for a movement of the clamping element of the cutting train clamping unit.

Abstract: A tool coupling device for a receptacle of a machine tool separating device formed as a closed system includes at least one cutting strand tensioning unit that has at least one tensioning element. The tool coupling device also includes at least one operating unit that includes at least one operating element. The cutting strand tensioning unit includes at least one gear unit that is configured to move the tensioning element as a result of an actuation of the operating element of the operating unit.

Abstract: A method for maintaining a technical plant including several components is provided. The method provides a system for planning the use of an enterprise resources system and a control system, with the enterprise resource system connected to the control system and structures of the technical plant are automatically set up in the enterprise resource system.

Abstract: A gear shift device for a shiftable gear unit of a power tool includes a housing, an operating element, and a transmission member that acts upon a displaceable gear unit component. A bearing sliding guide is disposed in the interior of the housing and configured to slidingly guide the transmission member.

Abstract: A method for power plant usage planning of a power plant fleet having a plurality of power plants is provided. The current control technology values are supplied to models for lifespan calculations, maintenance information is derived from the lifespan calculations and the maintenance information is taken into consideration in a calculation for power plant usage planning.

Abstract: A powder transfer pump to convey a powder, in particular in a powder coating station. The powder transfer pump comprises a transfer chamber with a transfer chamber wall, an inlet opening into the transfer chamber to supply the powder to the transfer chamber, an outlet opening out of the transfer chamber to convey the powder from the transfer chamber, a negative pressure connection opening into the transfer chamber to generate negative pressure in the transfer chamber in order to suck the powder into the transfer chamber, and a positive pressure connection opening into the transfer chamber to discharge the powder that is present in the transfer chamber through the outlet. The transfer chamber wall is essentially gas-tight.

Abstract: An operating system for a power feed pump and a power feed pump having a transfer chamber with an inlet and an outlet. The outlet of the transfer chamber is closed, the inlet of the transfer chamber is opened, and a negative pressure is generated in the transfer chamber to suck a powder in through the inlet to the transfer chamber. The inlet of the transfer chamber is closed, the outlet of the transfer chamber is opened, and the powder in the transfer chamber is delivered through the outlet. The negative pressure in the transfer chamber is built up at least partially before the inlet of the transfer chamber is opened.

Abstract: To supply a powder lacquer sprayer, the coating powder is pressed by a pig through the supply line and, in the process, it is fluidized from the side of the pig which is turned toward the powder. The fluidization air can be led to the powder, for example, by a central passage opening of the pig or through an air permeable wall of the connection line. For the dosage of the coating powder, one uses the push medium which drives the pig.

Abstract: In a powder atomizer for series coating of workpieces, additional air is led from a separate channel into the path of the powder-air mixture which exits from the powder channel of the atomizer, air which can be used during the coating to influence and change the mixture and, during pauses in the coating, as rinsing air for cleaning, for example, the powder path leading through an atomization bell.
