  • Publication number: 20240033750
    Abstract: A safety system prevents cutting machine operators from being accidentally carried through the infeed chute into the machine's cutting mechanism. An operator wears a safety device on his wrist and/or ankle and a sensor array mounts on opposing sides of the cutting machine's infeed chute. The sensor array elements are wound in opposite directions and connect in series opposing. The magnetic field of the safety device induces a current in the sensor array as it moves in the proximity of the sensor array. The safety system generates a signal which is proportional to the sum of the induced currents. When the signal exceeds a threshold, the safety system shuts off power to the feed mechanism and/or the cutting blades of the cutting machine, preventing injury to the operator.

Aiming at the problem that in an existing micro laser thruster, when a working medium is ablated by a laser beam, due to a weak interlayer interfacial bonding force between a transparent film substrate and the coating working medium, sputtering or bulging occurs, which remarkably reduces propulsive performance, a method for treating a surface of a transparent film substrate with a low-temperature plasma is used to increase surface energy of a film and an adhesive force of a working medium layer on a surface of the film, thereby enhancing the interlayer interfacial bonding force. According to the method in the present disclosure, the transparent film substrate is treated with the low-temperature plasma.

  • Publication number: 20240033794
    Abstract: The billet rolling mill comprises two rolls for shaping a blank, each shaping roll being provided with at least one rolling tool and being rotated about an axis of rotation by a drive motor, and a manipulator subassembly for moving the blank with respect to the shaping rolls. The manipulator subassembly comprises a clamp gripping the blank and a carriage moving the clamp at least along a direction of rolling of the blank. The manipulator subassembly comprises a linear motor moving the carriage along the direction of rolling. The direction of rolling is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rolling tool. The linear motor is configured for accelerating the blank and selectively exerting on the blank, either a tensile force, to extract the blank from a gap defined between the rolling tools, or a braking force, to limit a speed of ejection of the blank.
