  • Publication number: 20240134048
    Abstract: The invention relates to a laser tracker for the industrial, coordinative position determination of a target, the laser tracker providing two measurement functionalities, namely a measurement functionality for measuring and tracking a cooperative, e.g. retroreflective, target and a measurement functionality for the e.g. scanning measurement of a target with diffuse scattering, wherein both measurement functionalities can be carried out and referenced to each other by means of the same optoelectronic distance measurement device.

  • Patent number: 9969057
    Abstract: An abrasive member includes an abrasive member base and a plurality of abrasive particles applied to the abrasive member base. At least a large proportion of the abrasive particles form an abrasive edge unit with an abrasive edge inclined at an angle between 0° and 90° relative to a defined working direction.

  • Patent number: 6116432
    Abstract: The invention concerns a mounting for flat objects, such as CD cases for example. According to the invention, an open frame (1) consists of an upper side leg (2), a lower side leg (3) and a transverse leg (4). In a preferred embodiment of the frame (1), the outer edges (5, 6, 7) of the legs (2, 3, 4) and the inner edges (8, 9, 10) are interconnected at right angles, the inner edge and outer edge of a leg being non-parallel, so forming a tilted holder (11). Since one inner edge (9) is shorter than the length of an edge of the object to be held, a corner of the object projects over the end face (22) of the frame (1). The frames can be secured adjacent to one another by suitable securing elements, and adjacent frames can be rotated through 180.degree., such that the projecting corners of the objects to be stored lie alternately at the top and the bottom, and the objects can thus be removed from the mountings easily, even through the amount of space available is very small.

  • Patent number: 5680924
    Abstract: Each carriage (1) of a carriage chain has a running gear (5) at one end that has two running rollers (18) and two guide rollers (19). At the opposite end, it is coupled with the preceding carriage (1) by way of a spherical bearing (25) and a rod (26) which is guided so as to be longitudinally displaceable in this carriage. Toothed racks (8) disposed on the underside of the carriage body (3) and connected directly to each other by way of joint rods (10) serve in driving.
