  • Publication number: 20240100590
    Abstract: A combined casting and rolling installation that produces hot-rolled strip with a final thickness<1.2 mm, and includes a first continuous casting installation and a second continuous casting installation, each producing slabs from liquid steel; a slab manipulator that conveys the slabs into a walking beam furnace that conveys the slabs into a rolling installation and heats the slabs to rolling temperature. The rolling installation includes a rough rolling mill forming rough-rolled strips from the heated slabs; a coil box forming a coil from the rough-rolled strip and unwinding the rough-rolled strip; a joining device forming an endless rough-rolled strip by connecting its ends without filler material; a multi-stand finishing rolling mill finish-rolling the endless rough-rolled strip to form a finished strip with the final thickness; a cooling section forming the hot-rolled strip; and a plurality of coiling devices coiling the hot-rolled strip.

  • Publication number: 20160350317
    Abstract: A method and a data processing system for converting at least one first safety configuration file of a control device into a second safety configuration file by means of a converter. Thereafter, the consistency of the first safety configuration file and the second safety configuration file is checked by means of a consistency checking unit. An identifier of the second safety configuration file is initially set to correspond with an identifier of the first safety configuration file, and is changed if an inconsistency is found during the consistency check. If the identifier of the second safety configuration file has been changed and no longer corresponds to the identifier of the first safety configuration file, the control device prevents activation of the second safety configuration file and manipulator.

  • Patent number: 7765984
    Abstract: The fuel injection device according to the present invention is distinguished by a particularly effective sound-decoupling construction. The fuel injection device has at least one fuel injection valve, a receptacle bore for the fuel injection valve in a cylinder head, and a fuel distributor line having a fitting in which the fuel injection valve is placed in partially overlapping fashion. A connecting element is situated in the receptacle bore in such a way that the fuel injection valve is held in the connecting element in such a way that the fuel injection valve and the connecting element are held so that they do not contact any surfaces or walls of the receptacle bore of the cylinder head that do not run axially parallel to the fuel injection valve. The connecting element is attached immediately on the fitting of the fuel distributor line. The fuel injection valve is particularly well-suited for use in fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing externally ignited internal combustion engines.
