Abstract:
A component tube holding arrangement for holding one or more component tubes and for vibratory feeding of components in a picking position in a component mounting machine, as well as a combination of such a component tube holding arrangement and a vibratory feed magazine. The arrangement comprises a support surface for supporting component tubes, a reception portion for receiving component tubes, and at least one component stop at the reception portion defining a picking position for fed components. The arrangement also comprises identification means holding information of the identity of the arrangement. The arrangement is further arranged to be releasably mountable in a component mounting machine or in a vibratory feed magazine arranged to be loaded into the component mounting machine. The component tube holding arrangement lacks component feeding means and is arranged for allowing vibratory feeding means provided in the magazine or in the component mounting machine to engage with the arrangement for feeding the components towards the picking position.
Abstract:
Einrichtung zum Kennzeichnen von mit einer Mehrzahl zu bestückender elektrischer Bauelemente (110, 210) versehenen Bauelementeträgern (100, 200, 310) und Verfahren zum Verwenden der Einrichtung, wobei die Einrichtung mindestens einen mit den zu bestückenden Bauelementen (110, 210) gekoppelten Datenträger (150, 250, 350) aufweist, in welchem zumindest technische Daten der Bauelemente (110, 210) eingespeichert sind, der Datenträger (150, 250, 350) mittels einer Bearbeitungseinheit erfassbar und lesbar und der Datenträger (150, 250, 350) dafür ausgelegt ist, weitere technische Bauelementedaten, logistische Bauelementedaten und/oder Betriebsdaten der Bestückanlage zu speichern. Hierdurch ist es möglich, sämtliche Betriebszustände einer Bestückanlage, fehlerhafte Bauelemente, fehlerhafte Bestückvorgänge etc. während eines Bestückprozesses in einem Bestückprogramm zu berücksichtigen und/oder die entsprechenden Daten auszuwerten und zur Optimierung und Verbesserung des Bestückprozesses einzusetzen.
Abstract:
An applicator (20) for applying, to a plurality of sheets, spring-wire clips made of bent spring-wire having first and second end sections joined together by an elastically-deformable wire juncture section, the applicator comprises: a holder for holding a plurality of the spring-wire clips in a manner to successively feed them one at a time to a sheet-clipping station, with the wire juncture section facing one side of the sheet-clipping station; a driving member at the one side of the sheet-clipping station for engaging the clip in the sheet-clipping station and for driving the clip towards an other side of the sheet-clipping station; and at least one deflector located to engage at least one of the end sections of the clip in the sheet-clipping station driven by the driving member, and to deflect the engaged end section away from the other end section for spreading the end sections apart in order to receive the sheets at the other side of the sheet-clipping station to be clipped by the driven clip.
Abstract:
A device for placing pipes (5') into a case (1) and taking pipes (5) out therefrom, wherein the pipes (5) are placed in stacks (2, 3, 4) each with one pipe across, and wherein the stacks are supported laterally by supports (6, 7, 8, 9) projecting upwardly from the bottom of the case (1). The bottom of the case (1) is provided with apertures (10, 11), and the case (1) is carried by a tilting device (13) capable of raising and lowering the case (1), respectively, and of turning it about an axis (14) parallel to the pipes (5) within the case (1), to take an unloading position and a loading position, respectively, wherein the supports (6, 7, 8, 9) are nearly horizontal, flushing with a substantially horizontal support for pipes (5), and wherein a pushing device (16) is adapted to be guided through the apertures (10, 11) in the nearly vertical bottom of the case (1), in order to push pipes (5) laterally out of the case (1), upon said support, which may be a conveyor belt or another conveyor (12).
Abstract:
Proposed is a switch over plug (50; 60) for a contact strip assembly (34, 68), the plug being designed to enable the leads (26) of a telecommunications cable (24) to be switched over without causing any interruption. The contact strip assembly (34) preferably has a contact strip (36), a base unit (40) and a cover unit (38) and the contact strip (36) has contact units (42) for connecting the incoming/outgoing leads (27; 28) of incoming/outgoing telecommunications cables (32; 22) in order to establish electrical contact between the respective incoming and outgoing leads (27; 28), a test aperture leading in from the outside being provided for each contact unit. The switch over plug (50; 60) is characterized in that it has a first contact device (52) with contact elements (56) and a second contact device (54), also with contact elements (56), in contact with the first (52), and the switch over plug (50; 60) is designed in such a way that, when plugged in, the contact elements (56) of the first and second contact devices are inserted in the test apertures (44) and establish contact with the contact units (42) of the respective contact strip assembly (34; 68).
