The present invention relates to a device (14) for sanding floor areas, the device comprising a frame, a steering, a motor which is provided to said frame, a subframe (13) rotatably coupled with said motor, said subframe being centrally provided with an adapter (7) along the lower side, a sanding frame (1), said sanding frame being centrally provided with a receiver (2) along the upper side, said receiver receiving said adapter, and at least one holder (5) for sanding elements, said holder being provided along the lower side of said sanding frame and being suitable for the attachment of sanding elements (15). In particular, the subframe is freely supported by the sanding frame, via said adapter and receiver, said adapter and receiver being rotationally coupled. In other aspects, the invention relates to a sanding frame, a sanding element and a method for sanding floor areas, as well as a floor area obtained by application of said method.

A method for producing a component is disclosed. In a first step, a planar component layer is produced on a base surface from a metal material which is above the melting temperature thereof. In a second step, shear stresses are introduced into the component layer produced in the first step by a friction pin which rotates about a rotation axis and which is pressed with a predetermined force onto an outer surface of the component layer opposite the base surface and which is moved along the entire outer surface of the component layer. Finally, in a third step, the first step is repeated on the outer surface as a base surface.

A burnishing tool uses a relatively small pressing load in burnishing. The burnishing tool for machining a target surface of a workpiece includes a base and a tip portion located on a distal end of the base. The tip portion includes a linear slide-contact portion that linearly contacts and slides on the target surface.

A burnishing machine is provided in which both sides of a groove is machined by a single tool without changing the movement direction of a piston. The burnishing machine, includes: a tip configured to press and process a process face; and a pressurizing unit configured to press the tip against the process face, the pressurizing unit including, a piston configured to reciprocate in a direction orthogonal to the tip, a cylinder portion that accommodates the piston such that the piston reciprocates; and a pressurizing mechanism configured to urge the tip to the process face at both timing of pushing the tip against the process face and pulling the tip against the process face by making the piston reciprocate.

The invention relates to a tape drive, and to a method and a computer program product for operating a tape drive. The tape drive may include a transport mechanism which may include a tape head. The tape drive may be adapted to receive a magnetic tape with the transport mechanism, and to transport the magnetic tape by the transport mechanism. The tape head may be adapted to perform read-write operations on an oxide side of the magnetic tape. The tape drive may include a burnishing unit, which may include a burnishing roller and a burnish controller having an abrasive shell. The burnishing roller may be installed in the tape drive upstream of the tape head such that the abrasive shell supports the received magnetic tape on the oxide side. The burnish controller may be adapted to control the movement of the burnishing roller.

The invention concerns a rolling unit for machining the wheel running surfaces of wheelsets for rail vehicles, with the rolling unit featuring at least one work roller by means of which the wheel running surface to be machined is subjected to a deep rolling process following manufacture of the wheelset in new condition or, at a later date, after reprofiling to increase the service life of the wheel running surfaces. The task is solved to create a relevant rolling unit by means of which the wheel running surfaces can be deep-rolled in the forward feed process using work rollers. This task is solved by the rolling unit featuring a base body on which a support arm is located in a vertical position to the base area, on which a receptacle is supported that is unilaterally fixed in position via a thread in the support arm and on which an angular contact ball bearing is located; this supports at least one work roller featuring at least two different rolling radii.
