A mounting system includes multiple mounting-related devices to execute a mounting-related process for mounting a component on a mounting target that are arranged side by side along the conveyance direction of the mounting target. The mounting-related device used in the mounting system includes an execution unit configured to execute the mounting-related process; a first interface configured to enable a mobile work device to access the execution unit, the mobile work device moving a member related to the mounting-related process; and an operation panel disposed in a second interface, being located on an opposite side of the first interface, to which an operator is allowed to access without access of the mobile work device.

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for supporting a mechanically stable and thermally isolated platform for operating sample devices which require extensive thermal isolation. The apparatus comprises a mounting base, a substrate, and microstructured tubes interconnecting the mounting base and substrate and having a thermally resistive inner portion and a thin coated layer that exhibits high electrical conductivity and low thermal emissivity. Radiation reflectors may be incorporated into the apparatus to protect components and reflect infrared radiation, and a getter equipped vacuum cover may be sealed to a vacuum header to maintain a low pressure environment within the apparatus.

A mounting device for inserting magnets into magnet accommodating portions of a rotor of an electric machine. The mounting device comprises an aligning device configured to accommodate and align the magnets by means of at least one channel. In this case, a shape of the at least one channel is adapted to a shape of the magnets. The channel comprises a channel inlet, which is disposed at an end face of the aligning device and via which the magnets can be fed to the channel, and a channel outlet, which is disposed opposite the channel inlet and is disposed at an end face of the aligning device opposite the end face and via which the magnets can be discharged from the channel. Furthermore, the at least one channel is twisted.

A winding apparatus includes a nozzle for feeding a wire to a first end side of a magnetic pole in a winding position, a first latch pawl capable of latching the wire fed from the nozzle, a first latch pawl moving mechanism that moves the first latch pawl from the first end side to a second end side of the multi-pole armature, and a nozzle moving mechanism that moves the nozzle in both the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the multi-pole armature. A width of the first latch pawl in the circumferential direction of the multi-pole armature is set at a width enabling insertion of the wire wound around and bent back by the first latch pawl into slots formed on both sides of one or more of the magnetic poles in the winding position.

A fabrication apparatus for the fabrication or prefabrication—preferably in an automated or semi-automated manner—of individual wire sections, comprising at least one arrangement apparatus for receiving and arranging a plurality of individual wire sections, in particular prepared wire sections from the fabrication apparatus, wherein the at least one arrangement apparatus comprises a main body and an arrangement section for receiving the wire sections, wherein the arrangement section is designed to string a plurality of individual wire sections through a gap that extends along the base body and along said gap, wherein the at least one arrangement apparatus can be attached to the fabrication apparatus in a releasable manner.

A method of converting a heat source to a smoker is provided. A grill converter device having a plurality of cover sections may be provided. Each cover section may be removably connected to each other cover section by a plurality of fasteners. At least one airflow regulator hole may be positioned along a side of at least one of the plurality of cover sections. At least one airflow regulator cover may removably cover the at least one airflow regulator hole. When adding a smoke box on the heat source, the grill converter device allows for control over the smoking process. The conversion may allow for a controlled adjustment of the smoke inside a lid of a grill.

A production line includes at least one electronically controlled assembling station in which a chain conveyor device moves a plurality of part transporting pallets to be assembled in continuous movement along the production line. In one example, each assembling station includes an implement dedicated to the assembly station and freely movable in the assembly station along the transport direction of the pallets for use by an operator to execute manual assembling operations on the parts transported by each pallet. In one example, the production line assembling station further includes a plurality of automated drawers containing components for use in the manual assembly operations and a human machine interface accessible by the operator. In one example, the chain conveyor chain includes front and rear hook units to engage the pallet for movement along the production line. The rear hook unit moves from a pallet engaged position to an optical beam interception position when the pallet is confronted with an obstacle preventing movement of the pallet along with the chain. When the rear hook unit is positioned in the optical beam interception position, an electronic control system generates a command signal which stops the conveyor device.

A coil segment forming apparatus includes a second bending section for bending a first bent body consisting of a pair of slot insertion portions that are substantially parallel to each other and a linking portion for connecting the pair of slot insertion portions formed in the same plane. The bending of the first bent body is carried out in a plane perpendicular to the aforementioned same plane. The second bending section has a plurality of pairs of press jigs arranged to oppose to each other in directions intersecting with the aforementioned same plane for pinching and pressing the linking portion, and a plurality of drive mechanisms for moving respectively the plurality of pairs of press jigs in directions intersecting with the aforementioned same plane based on moving amounts respectively set depending on forming conditions of the coil segment to be formed.
