A stapling device includes an anvil leg, an anvil plate, a staple magazine, which can be pivoted relative to the anvil leg about a transverse axis, a driver for carrying out stapling through a gap at the front end of the staple magazine, and an actuation apparatus for acting upon the driver toward the anvil plate. The actuation apparatus has a solenoid and a striking pin for acting upon a driver anvil fixedly connected to the driver, the striking pin being movable by the solenoid. Between the gap and the transverse axis, the staple magazine is supported on the anvil leg by a magazine spring. The magazine spring is configured such that the staple magazine rests on the anvil leg or on the anvil plate due to a force of gravity acting on the staple magazine and overcoming a spring force of the magazine spring.

A method for assigning a processing plan to a mobile unit data set of a mobile unit of an indoor location system of a manufacturing hall is provided. The method includes: providing a manufacturing control system for industrial processing of workpieces with a machine tool in accordance with workpiece-specific processing plans, each processing plan storing order information for a workpiece to be processed, providing a mobile unit with an image acquisition unit for acquiring image data, mobile unit data set belonging to the mobile unit and position data of the mobile unit acquired with the indoor location system being stored in the manufacturing control system, acquiring image data of a processing plan-specific object for identifying the processing plan to be assigned with the manufacturing control system, and assigning the identified processing plan to the mobile unit data set of the mobile unit in the manufacturing control system.

Disclosed is an interior tracking system for manufacturing control. The interior tracking system has multiple, fixedly installed transceivers for determining the position of multiple mobile units, the position being determined in particular by evaluating the propagation time of electromagnetic (radio) signals. The interior tracking system is used to assign one of the mobile units to one or more workpieces in an industrial manufacturing plant that processes steel and/or sheet metal, to determine the position of the assigned workpieces by localizing the assigned mobile unit using the interior tracking system and to integrate the interior tracking system into a manufacturing control system of the industrial manufacturing plant.

Control of manufacturing processes in metal processing industry

A method for assigning a workpiece to be processed to a mobile unit of an indoor location system used in a manufacturing hall in industrial processing of workpieces is provided. The method includes: providing a manufacturing control system for the industrial processing of workpieces with a machine tool in accordance with workpiece-specific processing plans, providing an assistance system for collecting measurement assistance workpiece data sets for the workpieces, detecting a workpiece to be assigned with the assistance system and generating a measurement-assistance-workpiece data set for the workpiece, comparing the measurement-assistance-workpiece data set with a processing plan-assistance-workpiece data set corresponding to the workpiece to identify a processing plan, providing a mobile unit assigned to the identified processing plan, the indoor location system configured to determine a position of the mobile unit, and spatially assigning the workpiece to the mobile unit assigned to the identified processing plan.

Assisted assigning of a workpiece to a mobile unit of an indoor location system

An interior localization system for manufacturing control, with multiple, fixedly installed transceivers for determining the position of multiple mobile units, the position being determined in particular by evaluating the runtime of electromagnetic (radio) signals. The interior localization system is used to associate one of the mobile units to a person in an industrial manufacturing plant that processes steel and/or sheet metal, to determine the position of the associated person by localizing the associated mobile unit using the interior localization system and to integrate the interior localization system into a manufacturing control system of the industrial manufacturing plant.

Manufacturing control in the metal processing industry

Methods, devices, and systems for production controls of process sequences in industrial processing of workpieces supported by indoor localization are provided. In one aspect, an indoor location system includes a plurality of mobile transceivers and an analyzer. At least one mobile transceiver is configured to determine a position of a selected mobile transceiver in a three-dimensional space. Each mobile transceiver is spatially assignable to a corresponding object from a group of objects within a framework of process sequences. Each object is movable in one or more dimensions in the three-dimensional space. The analyzer is configured to determine the position of the selected mobile transceiver based at least on run times of electromagnetic signals between the mobile transceivers in a position determination process and to perform tracking of a movement of a target object assigned to the selected mobile transceiver based on the position of the selected mobile transceiver.

A stapling device includes an anvil arm bearing an anvil plate; a magazine pivotable about a transverse pivot on a bearing block in the rearward region of the anvil arm; and an arm bearing a driver for feeding the staples through a discharge slot at the front end of the magazine and pivotable about the transverse pivot. The discharge slot extends transversely through a bottom wall of the magazine between the magazine side walls which run from the front end towards the bearing block and is bounded with respect to the magazine front end by a stop plate for the staples. The discharge slot is closed with respect to the side walls of the magazine. The magazine is provided on each of its side walls and on each side of the discharge slot with a prong projecting from the bottom wall.

Stapler

A paper punch includes a base part which has a positioning surface on the bottom side thereof for positioning the same on a table top. At least two punching tools are displaceably supported with respect to the base part to punch holes into documents. A hand-held applies pressure on the punching tools and is supported about a pivot axis in a limited pivoting manner by way of a front region of the base part. The base part has a grip cutout which is open toward the rear side of the base part and which is delimited toward the top by a ceiling wall extending at a distance from the positioning surface and toward the front by a transverse wall.

Paper punch

A stapler has an anvil leg that supports an anvil plate in the front region, a staple magazine which can be swivelled to a limited degree about a transverse pin on a bearing block in the rear region of the anvil leg, and a driver leg which can be swivelled to a limited degree relative to the staple magazine and the anvil leg about the transverse pin. The driver leg supports a driver for guiding the staples through a gap at the front end of the staple magazine. The stapler has at least one guiding element which is arranged between the anvil plate and the bearing block. The guiding element longitudinally extends between the anvil leg and the staple magazine, is fixedly connected to the anvil leg, and is guided in a longitudinally movable manner within a guiding opening in a bottom wall of the staple magazine.
