  • Patent number: 8746630
    Abstract: In a switch including a switch frog (1) with a movable frog point (2) and wing rails (5, 6), wherein the wing rails (5, 6) in the region of the frog point (2) each have a rail profile which is lower than that of a standard rail, the wing rails (5, 6) are designed as Vignol rails whose region configured with a lower rail profile is produced by metal-forming departing from the Vignol rail profile.

  • Publication number: 20100231927
    Abstract: A device and method provide for measuring the position of the edge of a material web by illuminating an area of the edge area and detecting shadows cast by the material web. Two or more transmitters arranged in a line transverse to the edge of the material web are used for illumination. A linear sensor also arranged transverse to the edge of the material web is used to sense the locations of the shadows. The position of the edge of the material web is detected from the sensed shadow and the locations of the transmitters and sensors.
