  • Patent number: 12224612
    Abstract: A method for charging battery packs for power tools with the aid of a charging device. The charging device has a first charging mode, in which the battery packs are charged up to a defined state of charge using a constant current and subsequently using a constant voltage. At least one second charging mode is settable by a user, in which the battery packs are only partially charged up to a charge limit exclusively using a constant current. A charging device is also described.

  • Publication number: 20240342877
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling a hand-held power tool, in particular a cut-off screwdriver, the hand-held power tool including a drive motor and a control unit. The method includes (i) setting an operating stage for controlling the drive motor by way of the control unit, wherein the operating stage includes a direction of rotation of the drive motor, a rotational speed of the drive motor, and a cut-off criterion, (ii) setting a rotational speed constancy of the rotational speed of the drive motor, (iii) operating the drive motor depending on set operating stage and/or the set rotational speed constancy, and (iv) braking the drive motor when the cut-off criterion is met.

  • Patent number: 9233457
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool, in particular to a screwing device, includes a control device for controlling and/or regulating the tool movement of a tool holder and/or of a tool. The hand-held power tool has an interface for communicating with an external adjustment device. The interface is configured to be connected to the control device in such a way that signals may be transmitted for the parameterization of at least one tool movement sequence. The tool movement sequence includes a plurality of sequentially-progressing tool movements. A method for parameterizing at least one tool movement sequence of a hand-held power tool includes parameterizing the at least one tool movement sequence with a separate setting device in a remote-controlled manner via an interface of the hand-held power.

  • Patent number: 7740369
    Abstract: A handheld power tool has a tool holder, which is received displaceably in a housing and is drivable via a drive unit that can be switched on and off upon an axial adjusting motion of the tool holder. A lighting unit on the handheld power tool can be switched on and/or off via the adjusting motion of the tool holder.

  • Patent number: 4776383
    Abstract: Juxtaposed nozzle openings apply the same or different melts to the surface of a moving cooler surface for producing thin metal strips or foils with a considerable width. The nozzle openings can be staggered in the direction of movement of the cooler surface and apply different materials to produce a metal strip with juxtaposed and sharply defined regions with different characteristics. Amorphous or mixed amorphous/crystalline, or solely crystalline material structures can also be produced. Alternatively, different cooling capacities on different cooler surface areas and different structuring of different cooler surface areas permit the melt to solidify on the cooler surface such that the strips or foils obtained have adjacent regions with different metallic and/or geometrical structures. By geometrical configuration of the cooler surface, foils with a structured surface or with shape-limited individual regions can be used for mass production of small parts from sheet or strip material.
