    Abstract: A nozzle for a spray gun, in particular a paint spray gun, has at least one material nozzle having a hollow portion for the passage of material to be sprayed; a material outlet opening; and a disk element extending radially from the material nozzle and having at least one passage opening. The nozzle has at least one first baffle disk which is arranged on the disk element and has an inner and an outer circumference. The first baffle disk is arranged on the disk element directly, in particular without a sealing element arranged inbetween. The disadvantages that separate sealing elements have to be specially produced and may be lost or damaged, can thereby be avoided. The nozzle according to the disclosure and related nozzle sets, paint spray guns and methods for producing nozzles are functionally reliable, have only few individual parts and a compact design and are quiet.

  • Publication number: 20200038890
    Abstract: A linear oscillating water jet is capable of spraying in a linear oscillating fashion without deviating from a consistent linear path such that a resulting linear spray does not extend beyond a targeted area. Through the use of an internal turbine, energy from an incoming pressurized liquid is used to create rotational motion, which is subsequently converted into an oscillatory, back and forth linear motion by way of a rocker assembly that connects a nozzle assembly to the internal turbine. The oscillatory, linear motion of the rocker assembly is translated into a linear, back and forth rocking motion for the nozzle assembly.

  • Publication number: 20200038917
    Abstract: A shape packing technique is introduced that can be applied in various applications such as automated print production. In an example embodiment, items that are to be placed into a target shape are sorted based on size to form item groups that include similarly sized items. Potential blocks including arrangements of one or more items are created from the sorted item groups. A placement solution is then generated by placing the potential blocks in the target shape using a recursive process that avoids redundant placement solutions until all of the potential blocks are placed or no other potential blocks are able to be placed. The placement solution can then be utilized, for example, to control a printer to print multiple images on a substrate and/or to control an automated cutting device to cut the substrate into multiple partitions according to the placement solution.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a binder from slag for conditioning sludges/dredged material, soils containing water and for the neutralization of acids. According to the invention, the slag from a waste incinerator is crushed, then metal is removed and the crushed slag is graded into a fraction greater than 2.0-3.0 mm and a fraction smaller than 2.0-3.0 mm, the fraction 0/2.0-0/3.0 mm is dried in a dryer to a terminal humidity less than 1.5 wt. %-2.5 wt. %, as a result of which the pozzolanic properties of the slag are reactivated, the yield from the dryer is further crushed in a high-speed impact mill to a stable cubic grain structure and the metal released in this process is removed, and the 0/500-0/750 ?m fraction forming the binder is separated from this crushed slag.

  • Publication number: 20200038932
    Abstract: A die set for bending a metal plate workpiece includes a lower die for placing the workpiece, an upper die having a pressing surface which presses the workpiece toward the lower die by movement, a lower movable part provided in the lower die and being slidable in the same direction as the direction of the upper die movement, and a gas spring elastically supporting the lower movable part from below. The pressing surface of the upper die is moved, contacts with the upper surface of the workpiece and presses the workpiece toward the lower die. The lower movable part being elastically supported by the gas spring from below brings an opposing surface into contact with the lower surface of the workpiece and makes the upper die to be close to the lower die while applying force in the upward which is opposite direction of the upper die movement.

    Abstract: In a method for producing a component by further forming of a preformed contour of a blank, the blank which has previously been cut to size at ambient temperature from a strip or a metal sheet undergoes after optional further manufacturing steps carried out at ambient temperature, e.g. punching or cutting operations to realize recesses or openings, in selected edge regions that have been strain hardened by the punching or cutting operations to obtain a preformed contour a first forming operation at ambient temperature. The edge regions intended to undergo the forming operation or at least the edge regions that have undergone the first forming operation are heated to a temperature of at least 600° C. for maximal 10 seconds. After the heat treatment, the edge regions undergo at any time a second forming operation or further forming operations at ambient temperature with respectively preceding heat treatments.
