Abstract: Systems and methods for cutting aerial objects by a remotely operated cutting system disposed on a boom tip of an aerial device are disclosed. In some embodiments, a remotely operated cutting system may be operable to translate and rotate in three dimensions to obtain an optimal cutting position. The cutting device may be configured to cut tree limbs, power lines, metal bars, or the like. A sensor may detect electrical energy in proximity to a cutting location associated with the cutting device. The cutting device may be controlled by an operator at a remote location communicatively connected to control the cutting device and view the cutting device by a camera mounted on the boom tip or the cutting system. The cutting device may further be automatically operated based on stored computer-executable instructions.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of detecting the making or breaking of contact of a sonotrode (4) which is caused to vibrate with a frequency f and a vibration amplitude A0 with a counterpart element (5). To provide a method with which contact-making or breaking of a sonotrode with a counterpart element can be particularly quickly and inexpensively detected it is proposed according to the invention that the method has the following steps: a) recording a time configuration of the vibration amplitude A0 (1) during a first measurement time interval ΔT, and b) determining from the time configuration of the vibration amplitude A0 (1) whether making or breaking of contact occurred within the measurement time interval ΔT.

Abstract: A cutting machine includes a table having a planar working surface lying in a working surface plane, a protective pane, a light curtain device configured to generate a light curtain, a crossbeam above the working surface and designed for linear positionability parallel to a first horizontal axis, and a module on the crossbeam and designed for linear positionability parallel to a second horizontal axis perpendicular to the first horizontal axis. The cutting machine further includes a control unit configured to control the cutting machine. The cutting machine has a first operating state and a second operating state. In the first operating state, the protective pane on a first side of the table is below the working surface plane. In the second operating state, both the protective pane and the light curtain on the first side of the table are at least partially above the working surface plane.

Abstract: A method cuts a, in particular flat, workpiece by a cutting beam and a cutting fluid. A workpiece part to be cut away is consecutively cut into at least two smaller portions which fall or are lowered downwards from a surrounding remaining workpiece after they have each been cut away. The division into smaller portions and the execution of the cut for separating the first smaller portion occur such that the point at which the first-cut, first smaller portion is cut away lies within the outer contour of the workpiece part to be cut away.

Abstract: Features are applied to a mathematical model to produce a cutting pattern for opening a container. The cutting pattern specifies which of one or more cutting tools is to be used and the location of where cuts are to be made on the container. The cutting pattern is sent to a container opening machine. The container opening machine is operated and the container cut and opened by the container opening machine according to the cutting pattern.
