Title: Martin Richter: Inventor in Circuit-Board Equipment and Magnetic Detection

Introduction

Martin Richter is an inventor based in Marloffstein, Germany. His work includes inventions in electronic-component assembly and magnetic detection methods. He is associated with Siemens Aktiengesellschaft and is credited with 3 patents.

Latest Patents

One of Richter’s patents describes an apparatus for equipping circuit boards with electronic components. The system supports the components while their terminal pins pass through openings in a circuit board, then uses cutting tools to sever and bend the pins. Magnetic-field-dependent sensors monitor the pin ends, helping detect whether the components have been properly positioned and processed.

Another patent concerns methods for detecting magnetic preorientation in mechanical parts, including motor rotors, and a device for magnetizing tubular parts. The method creates discrete magnetic regions on a part’s surface and detects stray fields associated with its preoriented zones. The described device combines a magnetizing winding, a recording head, at least one Hall generator, and mechanisms for moving the part relative to the winding.
