    摘要: A deflection element (10) for robot arms has two arm braces that are pivotally mounted on a joint mechanism. In order to create a universally useable deflection element, the two arm braces (12) are each mounted on a support structure (20) of the joint mechanism by means of an arm joint (18), and the two arms braces (12) are coupled to a connecting element (22) between the two arm joints (18), said connecting element (22) being movable relative to the support structure (20); furthermore, at least one actuating element (50; 51), which moves the connecting element (22) and thus pivots the arm braces (12) between the end positions thereof, is arranged between the support structure (20) and the connecting element (22).

    摘要: A dosing device is proposed which is designed for dosed output of a fluid. The dosing device has a block-shaped channel body, through which a dosing channel system passes. The dosing channel system has a fluid infeed opening and a plurality of fluid output openings. The fluid output openings are formed by the channel apertures of narrowed output sections of a plurality of output channels of the dosing channel system. The entire dosing channel system, including the output channels, is formed in the block-shaped channel body. The dosing channel system is preferably structured such that the flow velocity of the fluid channelled through during operation is at least substantially the same throughout with the exception of in the output sections of the output channels.

    摘要: An actuator controller for actuating an actuator which can be operated fluidically, having a feed line for an inflow of the working fluid to an actuator connector and having a discharge line for an outflow of the working fluid to a fluid outlet, wherein the feed line is assigned a feed line valve and the discharge line is assigned a discharge valve, which valves are configured in each case to influence a volumetric fluid flow at the actuator connector, and having a control device for actuation of the feed line valve and the discharge valve. A throughflow sensor is arranged in a line section between the discharge valve and the fluid outlet, which throughflow sensor is configured for determining a volumetric fluid flow in the discharge line and for providing a throughflow signal.

    摘要: A communication unit (S1, S2) for industrial automation for use in a communication system (10) of series-connected communication units (M, S1, S2). The communication unit includes a first input (E1), a first output (E1), and an internal clock generator (TG) which is adapted to provide an internal clock signal as system clock for clocking the communication unit (S1, S2), and wherein the communication unit (S1, S2) is configured to receive, via the input (E1), a serial input data stream with payload data. The communication unit (S1, S2) has a timer (ZG) for providing a time value, the timer (ZG) being adapted to provide the time value based on an input symbol clock included in the input data stream.

    摘要: A communication unit (S1, S2) for industrial automation for use in a communication system (10) of series-connected communication units (M, S1, S2). The communication unit includes a first input (E1) and a first output (A1) and being configured to receive, via the input (E1), an input serial data stream having payload data and to output, via the output (A1), an output serial data stream (ADS) having payload data. The communication unit (S1, S2) is configured to determine clock information (TI) on the basis of an internal reference clock signal of the communication unit (S1, S2) and an input symbol clock of the input data stream and, using the clock information (TI), to provide the output data stream (ADS) with an output symbol clock whose clock rate is equal to the clock rate of the input symbol clock.

    摘要: A connection device for a fluid line, which has a connection unit that can be fixed in an internally threaded fastening opening of a carrier component by means of an externally threaded section of a fastening element, said threaded section consisting of a rubber elastic material. An insertion opening extends through the connection unit and the fluid line to be connected can be inserted therein so that it projects through an annular retaining element fixed in the fastening element and is retained. The external thread of the threaded section is surrounded by at least one annular outer sealing bead which is an integral part of the threaded section, said sealing bead improving the sealing with respect to the internal thread.

    摘要: A rotary drive device has a fluid-actuated rotary drive which has a drive housing and a drive unit rotatable about a main axis relative to the drive housing. The drive unit contains a pivot piston which divides two drive chambers from one another in the interior of the drive housing, which can be supplied with compressed air fluidic pressure medium controlled by a control fluid channel system, in order to cause a rotational movement of the drive unit. The rotary drive is equipped with a pressure detecting device, which enables pressure detection of the fluid pressure prevailing in the two drive chambers by means of pressure detecting channels formed separately with respect to the control fluid channel system. A robot arm is also proposed, which includes the rotary drive device as an arm joint.

    摘要: A valve actuation system includes a drive device, equipped with an axial extension, which includes an actuating drive with a drive output side intended for coupling with a valve and an axial rear side opposite this, wherein the actuating drive has on its axial rear side a mounting interface for the attachment of an auxiliary device which interacts with the actuating drive wherein, in order to allow attachment of the particular auxiliary device which is to be mounted, or which is mounted, the mounting interface of the actuating drive is equipped with several different attachment devices which differ in their attachment possibilities and which can be used selectively. In this way, a high degree of variability in the attachment of auxiliary devices is provided.
