Abstract: Un procédé permettant de commander l'orbite d'un robot consiste àexécuter un travail de soudage en faisant suivre à une pièce à souder une orbite prédéterminée par rapport à un chalumeau de soudage fixe. Le chalumeau de soudage (1) est disposé en position fixe pendant qu'une pièce à souder (W) est saisie par une main de robot. Avant que le travail de soudage commence, la pièce à souder est placée en chaque point cible (a1, a2) et des positions de coordonnées (T1, T2) de la pièce à souder correspondant aux positions d'actionnement de la main du robot sont indiquées pour chaque position cible. Pendant le travail de soudage, diverses parties d'actionnement du robot, les bras et la main du robot compris, sont mues de sorte que la position de déplacement de la pièce à souder coïncide avec une série de positions de coordonnées de la pièce à souder calculées, grâce à l'utilisation de la fonction de reproduction du robot. En conséquence, le travail de soudage est effectué le long d'une orbite prédéterminée sur la pièce à souder, bien que la position de la pièce à souder par rapport à l'extrémité du bras (4) change avec le mouvement de la pièce à souder.

Title: Electrical switching device
IPC: H01H1/20
Filed: 1989-04-19
Granted: 1993-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic switching device having a contact arrangement consisting of parallel, offset contact links, which are held in windows of a contact link carrier by means of a plate spring (which is guided against displacement at right angles to the movement direction), can be displaced with the plate spring in the movement direction against the force of a contact compression spring and which can be brought into connection with fixed contact parts. In this case, the plate spring is matched to the offset of the contact links and has a separating web for the contact links, extending between the two parallel contact links, so that, in the case of contact parts of the contact links which are welded diagonally opposite one another, the contact links are prevented from touching one another when the contacts are being opened.

Abstract: The process for producing microcapsules by microencapsulation of hydrophobic oils with substances dissolved or dispersed therein, in particular colour reactants of colour reaction systems, is described, wherein a hydrophobic oil containing the substance in solution or dispersion is mixed under vigorous stirring with an aqueous medium, aminoplast capsules are formed under acidic conditions in the resulting oil-in-water dispersion and these capsules are then isolated if desired, the acidic oil-in-water dispersion containing at least one dispersion-stabilising compound which is not a reactive surfactant. The process is characterised in that the acidic oil-in-water dispersion A) contains a water-soluble anionic, sulphonated melamine/formaldehyde precondensate and/or B) a water-soluble anionically modified melamine/formaldehyde precondensate of a type which has been obtained by   a) reacting, in a first stage, melamine and formaldehyde at elevated temperature in an alkaline medium and in the presence of water with at least one compound (I) in the form of an alkali metal sulphite, alkaline earth metal sulphite, an alkali metal sulphamate, an alkaline earth metal sulphamate, an aminosulphonic acid, aminocarboxylic acid and an aminodicarboxylic acid to give a precondensate, b) subsequently, in a second stage, subjecting this precondensate at a pH of about 5.5 to 7.0 to a polycondensation by acidifying with at least one acidic compound (II) in the form of sulphamic acid, an aminocarboxylic acid, an aminodicarboxylic acid, an hydroxycarboxylic acid, a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid and an aminosulphonic acid, c) after completion of the polycondensation, rendering the resulting resin solution alkaline, if necessary by addition of at least one basic compound (III), and d) including this resin solution, which may be alkaline, in the process for stabilising the dispersion.   This process has the advantage that it requires only a single compound for stabilising the dispersion and does not have to rely on a further compound which loads the system with formaldehyde.
