Title: Innovations of Julius Geiger
Introduction
Julius Geiger is a notable inventor based in Odenthal-Gloebusch, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of thermoplastic materials and fault detection in moving webs. With a total of 3 patents, his work showcases innovative methods and apparatuses that enhance manufacturing processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method and apparatus for cambering the edges of webs of thermoplastic. This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for cambering the edge of thermoplastic materials on one or both sides. The edges of the web are continuously guided through stamping units, where they are provided with stampings. The cambering process utilizes the energy of ultrasonic vibration, featuring a stamping wheel with a pressure apparatus and a stationary ultrasonic head arranged beneath it. A calibration apparatus can also be arranged downstream of the stamping unit.
Another significant patent by Geiger is a method of detecting faults in moving webs of materials. In this invention, a web of paper or foil is optically scanned line by line transversely to its direction of movement by a stationary scanning device. The length of the scanning line is equal to or greater than the width of the web under investigation. Electronic time marks are formed within the scanning line, which are shifted forwards by a constant step with each scanning movement. A fault is indicated only if there is a deviation from the average value of the reflected signal.
