A filter system for water and wastewater, includes at least one vessel having a plurality of filter modules and at least one feed space below the plurality of filter modules for a simultaneous feed of suspension that is to be filtered by the plurality of filter modules. Additionally, the system includes a feed distribution space arranged laterally adjacent the at least one feed space, as seen in a direction of flow through the filter system, leading laterally around a portion of the at least one feed space to partially surround the at least one feed space, wherein the feed distribution space is a flow-calming admission chamber of the at least one feed space. Further, the system includes at least one feed distribution opening arranged in a vicinity of a base of the feed distribution space and a base of the at least one feed space, between the feed distribution space and the at least one feed space, and extending substantially over an entire width of the feed distribution space, such that the suspension that is to be filtered is able to penetrate into the at least one feed space from the feed distribution space. The system additionally includes a feed line through which the suspension that is to be filtered is introduced into the feed distribution space.
Abstract:
A robot controller executes an operating program, calculates a position and posture of a robot, and sends the position and posture information to a personal computer (PC). At the PC side, on the basis of this position and posture information, animation display information of a work cell including the position and posture of the robot is created and then sent to a teaching pendant. In the teaching pendant, the animation display information is received, and an animation image is displayed on a display section. Until the operating program is terminated, this operation is performed so that an operating animation of the robot is displayed on the display section of the teaching pendant.
Abstract:
A robot system enabling a single teaching console to be used to easily teach a plurality of robots. The robot system includes a plurality of robot controllers connected through a network and a single teaching console. The teaching console is configured to be able to selectively communicate with any one of the robot controllers. The robot controller is configured so as to send a connect request to the teaching console when it is judged that the state of the robot has been switched to the teaching phase or maintenance phase. The teaching console is configured to respond to a connect request from the robot controller and switch destinations to enable communication with the robot controller.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an operating unit (1) for a production plant (2). The operating unit (1) comprises an authorization receiving module (71) so as to receive authorization identifications (61, 62, 63, 64) which are sent out by operating modules (51, 52, 53, 54) of the operating unit (1), an authorization storage module (72) so as to store in an authorization data storage (8) authorization data including allocations of user identifications (31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42) to the received authorization identifications (61, 62, 63, 64), and an authorization checking module (73) so as to receive at least one authorization identification (61, 62, 63, 64) from the operating modules (51, 52, 53, 54) and to determine at least one user identification (31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42), and to unlock an operating module (51, 52, 53, 54) if in the authorization data storage (8) an allocation of the at least one user identification (31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42) to the at least one authorization identification (61, 62, 63, 64) is stored.
Abstract:
A remote pendant for a metrology machine. The pendant comprises a non-configurable user interface which is an extension of the main computer monitor wherein the screens shown on a monitor of the pendant are created by application and/or control software running on the computer control of the machine. The remote pendant further comprises camera and/or webcam features as well as voice recording capabilities. With the remote pendant, the machine operator can view messages appearing on the main computer screen and respond to any prompts via a touch screen on the pendant thereby eliminating the need to return to the machine operator station.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A monitoring system for use in monitoring a machine includes at least one sensor for use in measuring at least one operating condition of the machine and at least one monitoring module coupled to the at least one sensor. The at least one monitoring module includes at least one display formed integrally with the monitoring module and configured to display real-time data representative of a currently measured operating condition of the machine and to display historical data representative of a previously measured operating condition of the machine such that a user is enabled to visually compare the historical data with the real-time data.
Abstract:
Irrespective of operation mode of systems in which predetermined axes belong to, a multi-system numerical controller is provided that freely combines axes belonging to arbitrary systems, and then simultaneously operates axes belonging to a plurality of systems in a predetermined manual mode, or simultaneously operates a plurality of axes belonging to the same system in respective manual operation modes so as to safely take interpolation control in manual operation. The numerical control apparatus includes a plurality of manual operation controllers and independent of the systems; a manual-operation-mode selecting signal provided each for the manual operation controllers; an arbitrary-axis selection signal, provided each for the manual operation controllers or manual modes, for selecting axes from any of the systems; a manual-move-speed instructing signal provided each for the manual operation controller; a manual operation reset signal provided each for the manual operation controllers.

Abstract:
A teaching device and a teaching modification device capable of easily attaining conformity between an operation program of a robot prepared by off-line programming and an actual operation of the robot. A layout of a robot system including three-dimensional models of the robot and peripheral objects thereof (table, a workpiece, etc.) are prepared by an off-line programming system and taught points are defined for the workpiece. The system layout and a model of the workpiece are displayed on a display device of a teaching pendant. An operator specifies a present position of the operator in the system layout and a taught point to be modified referring to the display device. A line-of-sight vector is automatically calculated and the model of the workpiece as viewed from a direction of the line-of-sight is displayed on the display device. Thus, the operator can operate the robot for modifying positions of the taught points or orientations at the taught points with ease, referring to the three-dimensional model of the workpiece and the taught points on the display device as viewed from the present position of the operator.
