Abstract: A milling device for machining a slot into an inner surface of a casing for a gas turbine engine. The milling device includes a frame assembly including multiple structural guides configured to engage structural features on the inner surface of the casing to maintain an axial position of the milling device relative to a longitudinal axis of the casing. The milling device also includes a milling cutter coupled to the frame assembly. The milling device is configured to be displaced in a circumferential direction relative to the longitudinal axis to machine the slot, via the milling cutter, along the inner surface of the casing in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A method for determining a position and/or orientation of a measuring device in a measuring environment which is mapped in a geometry model by a trained artificial neural network that has been trained by known measuring environments to give a prognosis of the need for a further measurement by the measuring device and, if necessary, a prognosis of the suitability of a measuring position of the measuring device.

Abstract: A method for searching for a target object, which is moved along a path, by a measuring device which has a first reference system, a control device, and an operating controller which has a GNSS receiver having a second reference system and which is connectable to the measuring device via a communication connection.

Abstract: A method for registering a total station, which is deployed in a measurement environment with one or more objects, in the reference system of a computer-aided design (CAD) model, which images the one or more objects of the measurement environment, includes registering the total station by a control device.

Abstract: A bale opening machine is provided with a safety apparatus, by means of which there are produced safety barriers or fences parallel to lengthwise sides of a row of bales to be opened and/or substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the bale opening machine. The safety apparatus moves in conjunction with the bale opening machine. The safety apparatus can comprise mechanical and/or sensory protective structure. The sensory protective structure comprises one or more electro-acoustical transducers arranged in a sonic chute together with one or more reference reflectors such that transmitted acoustical signals are split into a measuring signal and a reference signal. The reference signal is reflected at one of the reference reflectors, whereas the measuring signal is reflected at a deflection reflector into the monitored area and back again by an object located in the monitored area.

Abstract: A bale removal machine having sensory control protective apparatus and a process for the sensory control of the protective apparatus. During at least an initial pass of the bale removal machine along a row of bales, at least one control sensor scans and monitors an area located in the feed direction of the removal member of the machine. If the evaluating unit connected to the control sensors detects a bale, the protective curtains are deactivated immediately before a bale is detected by same. In subsequent removal passes, the protective curtains are activated and deactivated as a function of the known bale profile and/or the control sensor or sensors. If presence of a foreign object, particularly a person, is detected, protective measures are initiated by the protective curtains.
