Latest Patents

Klaus Gruppenbacher's latest patents include a "Method and apparatus for continuous compensation of grinding wheel." This invention focuses on a method of continuous compensation for unbalance present in a rotor, specifically a grinding wheel. The process involves feeding a compensation fluid into correction chambers that rotate with the rotor at various angular locations. The fluid supply is managed during successive balancing operations based on the minimum and maximum unbalance signals measured by a transducer over a specified period. The invention also establishes tolerance levels for acceptable unbalance values, ensuring that the balancing operation is concluded based on calculated multipliers derived from allowable variations in the measured unbalance signal.

Another patent by Gruppenbacher is titled "Method of continuous compensation of unbalance present in a rotor." This method similarly addresses the continuous compensation of unbalance in a rotor, particularly a grinding wheel. It involves the feeding of compensation fluid into correction chambers that are arranged on the rotor. The fluid supply is executed during the rotor's rotation and is influenced by the initial
