A setting tool used in a method for percussively driving an anchor rod into a borehole in a substrate has a drive-side end and, in an opposite tool direction, an end facing away from the drive. The setting tool has a tool adapter that forms the drive-side end and is arranged to interact with a driven impact tool. The end facing away from the drive is formed by a receiving element that has a recess arranged to receive part of an anchor rod. The tool adapter and the receiving element are coupled together by a coupling element such that an impact force introduced via the tool adapter is transmitted to an anchor rod arranged in the recess of the receiving element. The coupling element, in particular a coil spring, is arranged to allow for a displacement of at least part of the receiving element transversely to the tool direction.

A mounting frame for being displaced and fixed in a shaft has a main frame, a first primary fixing component for supporting the mounting frame on a first shaft wall of the shaft and a secondary fixing component for supporting the mounting frame on a second shaft wall of the shaft opposite the first shaft wall in a fixing direction during fixing of the mounting frame in the shaft. The first primary fixing component and the secondary fixing component are arranged on the main frame. The first primary fixing component and/or the main frame can assume a transport position and a working position. A change of the first primary fixing component and/or the main frame from its working position to its transport position leads to a reduction in an extension of the mounting frame in an extension direction that differs from the fixing direction.

An assembly device for carrying out assembly steps on a wall and a method for arranging a magazine component on a magazine housing device include a mobile assembly frame, a mechatronic installation component, the magazine housing device, magazine components and a securing device. The magazine housing device houses the magazine components with assembly means housed therein. The securing device, in a securing state, establishes a connection between the magazine components and the assembly frame to secure the magazine components against displacement relative to the assembly frame. The magazine components each have a first coupling element and the securing device has a second coupling element. The first coupling element and the second coupling element are arranged such that the securing device can be detachably coupled to the magazine components by the two coupling elements.

A mounting system for performing an installation operation in an elevator shaft of an elevator system has a mounting apparatus that includes a carrier component with a mechatronic installation component, a displacement component, a suspension cable and a deflection roller deflecting the suspension cable between the displacement component and the carrier component. The carrier component is supported against a supporting wall of the elevator shaft by an upper support roller, at least during displacement in the elevator shaft. The suspension cable has, between the deflection roller and the carrier component, a diagonal pull relative to the vertical in the direction of the supporting wall and is guided via the deflection roller such that the diagonal pull can be varied by displacing the deflection roller. The deflection roller is arranged via a holding apparatus on a surface of the supporting wall such that the deflection roller protrudes into the elevator shaft.

A mounting system has a mounting device with a carrier component and a mechatronic installation component, a displacement component arranged above the mounting device in an elevator shaft and a support member connected between the carrier component and the displacement component. The displacement component displaces the mounting device in the shaft using the support member, wherein the carrier component is supported by an upper support roller on a support wall of the shaft during the displacement in the shaft. The support member generates a diagonal pull perpendicular to the support wall surface. The mounting system also has a compensating element that counteracts a tilting of the carrier component about the upper supporting roller perpendicular to the support wall during the displacement in the shaft.

A screwing device includes a screwdriver and a connection element for coupling the screwdriver to a robot arm. The connection element has a first robot-side transmission element, a second tool-side transmission element, a restoring element arranged between the first and second transmission elements, and a distance measuring element. The two transmission elements can be moved towards each other against a restoring force of the restoring element in an actuation direction. The distance measuring element measures a distance that represents the spacing between the transmission elements in the actuation direction and is used to control the actuating force acting on the screwdriver.

A method for mounting a guide rail in an elevator system elevator shaft first carries out mounting steps by a mounting device having a carrier component, an installation component and a control apparatus controlling the installation component. The control apparatus determines, on the basis of an actual position of the mounting device and a desired position of a guide rail to be installed, a position of a marking on a shaft wall of the elevator shaft relative to the actual position of the mounting device. Based on the marking, an installation step determines the desired position of the guide rail. The marking is applied to the shaft wall by the installation component. The previous steps are followed by the steps of alignment the guide rail in relation to the marking and fastening the guide rail to the shaft wall, which steps can be performed manually by an installer.
