Abstract

The invention relates to a method and to a device for coating a metal strip with a coating material that is still liquid at first, e.g., zinc. During the coating, the coated metal strip runs through a roller pair, wherein one of the rollers of the roller pair can be adjusted toward the other as a correction roller in order to eliminate a possible curvature of the metal strip. Then the metal strip runs through a blow-off apparatus for blowing off surplus coating. According to the invention, in order to prevent an uneven thickness distribution of the coating on the metal strip even when the correction roller of the roller pair has been adjusted, the actual position of the metal strip is controlled to a specified setpoint center position in the slot of the blow-off apparatus by an appropriate movement of the blow-off apparatus.

Zum Beschichten wird das Metallband durch den Behälter mit dem Beschichtungsmaterial geleitet. Nach dem Verlassen des Be- schichtungsbehälters durchläuft das Metallband eine oberhalb des Beschich- tungsbehälters angeordnete Abblaseinrichtung zum Abblasen von überflüssigen Teilen des noch flüssigen Beschichtungsmaterials von der Oberfläche des Metallbandes. Oberhalb der Abblaseinrichtung ist eine von der Abblaseinrichtung gestützte elektromagnetische Stabilisierungseinrichtung angeordnet zur Stabilisierung des Metallbandes nach Verlassen des Beschichtungsbehälters und der Abblaseinrichtung. Die elektromagnetische Stabilisierungseinrichtung bewirkt insbesondere, dass das Band mittig in einer Mittenebene der gesamten Vorrichtung gehalten wird und dass Schwingungen des Metallbandes während des Durchlaufens durch den Beschichtungsbehälter und die Abblaseinrichtung verhindert oder zumindest reduziert werden. Sowohl die Abblaseinrichtung wie auch die elektromagnetische Stabilisierungseinrichtung weisen jeweils einen Schlitz auf, durch welchen das Metallband geführt ist. Um eine gleichmäßige Dicke bzw. Dickenverteilung des Beschichtungsmateri- als auf der Ober- und Unterseite des Metallbandes zu erreichen, ist es zwingend erforderlich, dass das Metallband in einer vorgegebenen Soll-Mittenlage durch den Schlitz der Abblaseinrichtung läuft. Nur dann ist gewährleistet, dass die Wirkung der Abblasdüsen der Abblaseinrichtung auf der Ober- und Unterseite des Metallbandes gleich ist und sich eine gewünschte gleichmäßige Dickenverteilung des Beschichtungsmaterials auf dem Metallband einstellt. Such devices for coating a metal strip are basically known in the art, such. B. from DE 10 2009 051 932 A1. Specifically, this document discloses a coating container which is filled with liquid coating material. For coating, the metal strip is passed through the container with the coating material. After leaving the coating container, the metal strip passes through a blow-off device arranged above the coating container for blowing off excess parts of the still liquid coating material from the surface of the metal strip. Above the blow-off device, an electromagnetic stabilization device supported by the blow-off device is arranged to stabilize the metal strip after leaving the coating container and the blow-off device. In particular, the electromagnetic stabilizing device causes the band to be held centrally in a center plane of the entire apparatus and to prevent or at least reduce vibrations of the metal band during passage through the coating container and the blower. Both the blow-off device and the electromagnetic stabilization device each have a slot through which the metal strip is guided. In order to achieve a uniform thickness or thickness distribution of the Beschichtungsmateri- as on the top and bottom of the metal strip, it is imperative that the metal strip runs in a predetermined desired center position through the slot of the blower. Only then is it ensured that the effect of the blow-off nozzles of the blower on the top and bottom of the metal strip is the same and sets a desired uniform thickness distribution of the coating material on the metal strip.
Die Soll-Mittenlage ist insbesondere definiert durch einen vorzugsweise gleichmäßigen Abstand der Breitseiten und der Schmalseiten des Metallbandes zu den gegenüberliegenden Düsen der Abblaseinrichtung und insbesondere dadurch, dass das Metallband gegenüber der Längsausrichtung des Schlitzes bzw. der Düsen nicht geneigt, verdreht oder zu stark gewölbt ist. The desired center position is defined in particular by a preferably uniform spacing of the broad sides and the narrow sides of the metal strip relative to the opposing nozzles of the blow-off device and in particular in that the metal strip is not inclined, twisted or excessively curved relative to the longitudinal orientation of the slot or the nozzles ,
In der Praxis kann es jedoch vorkommen, dass das Metallband nach Verlassen des Beschichtungsbehälters stark gewölbt ist. Eine solche Wölbung ist, wie gesagt, unerwünscht insbesondere für das Durchlaufen der Abblaseinrichtung. Der Wölbung wird deshalb traditionell entgegengewirkt, indem eine Korrekturrolle gegen das Metallband angestellt wird, bevor das Metallband in die Abblaseinrichtung eintritt. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass dadurch die Ist-Lage, mit welcher das Metallband den Schlitz der Abblaseinrichtung durchläuft, von der Soll-Mittenlage abweichen kann, was zu dem oben beschriebenen Problem einer ungleichmäßigen Dickenverteilung der Beschichtung führen kann. In practice, however, it may happen that the metal strip is heavily curved after leaving the coating container. Such a curvature is, as I said, undesirable in particular for the passage of the blower. The buckle is therefore traditionally counteracted by applying a correction roller against the metal band before the metal band enters the blower. However, this has the disadvantage that thereby the actual position, with which the metal strip passes through the slot of the blower, may deviate from the desired center position, which may lead to the above-described problem of uneven thickness distribution of the coating.
Die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2007 042 897 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren mit einer Vorrichtung zum Beschichten eines Metallbandes mit einem Beschich- tungsmaterial, z.B. Zink. Zu diesem Zweck wird das Metallband durch einen Be- schichtungsbehälter geleitet, welcher mit dem flüssigen Beschichtungsmaterial gefüllt ist, wobei das Beschichtungsmaterial an der Oberfläche des Metallbandes anhaftet. Nach dem Verlassen des Beschichtungsbehälters durchläuft das Metallband einen Schlitz einer Abblaseinrichtung, welche dazu dient, überschüssige Teile des noch flüssigen Beschichtungsmaterials von der Oberfläche des Metallbandes abzublasen. Weiterhin ist ein Wölbungssensor vorgesehen zum Erfassen der Ist-Wölbung des Metallbandes nach Verlassen des Beschichtungsbehälters. Sofern die erfasste Ist-Wölbung einen vorgegebenen zulässigen Wölbungs- Schwellenwert überschreitet, wird eine Korrekturrolle gegen das Metallband angestellt, um dieses zu glätten. Es ist auch offenbart, dass die Abblaseinrichtung angesteuert wird. German laid-open specification DE 10 2007 042 897 A1 discloses a method with a device for coating a metal strip with a coating material, eg zinc. For this purpose, the metal strip is passed through a coating container which is filled with the liquid coating material is filled, wherein the coating material adheres to the surface of the metal strip. After leaving the coating container, the metal strip passes through a slot of a blow-off device, which serves to blow off excess parts of the still liquid coating material from the surface of the metal strip. Furthermore, a curvature sensor is provided for detecting the actual curvature of the metal strip after leaving the coating container. If the detected actual curvature exceeds a predetermined allowable camber threshold, a correction roller is placed against the metal belt to flatten it. It is also disclosed that the blower is controlled.
Die Druckschrift DE 43 00 868 C1 lehrt, die Abblaseinrichtung mit Hilfe von Ver- stellantrieben so zu positionieren, dass der Abstand zwischen Düsenspalt und Bandoberfläche konstant bleibt. Die entsprechende Steuerung bzw. Regelung der Lage der Abblaseinrichtung erfolgt in Abhängigkeit der tatsächlichen Lage des Metallbandes, welche von einer separaten Messeinrichtung kontinuierlich erfasst wird. The document DE 43 00 868 C1 teaches to position the blow-off device with the aid of adjusting drives in such a way that the distance between the nozzle gap and the strip surface remains constant. The corresponding control or regulation of the position of the blow-off device takes place as a function of the actual position of the metal strip, which is detected continuously by a separate measuring device.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein bekanntes Verfahren und eine bekannte Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zum Beschichten eines Metallbandes dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass eine ungleichmäßige Dickenverteilung der Beschichtung auf dem Metallband aufgrund der Anstellung der Korrekturrolle verhindert wird. The invention has the object of developing a known method and a known device of the type mentioned for coating a metal strip to the effect that an uneven thickness distribution of the coating on the metal strip is prevented due to the employment of the correction roller.
Diese Aufgabe wird verfahrenstechnisch durch das im Patentanspruch 1 beanspruchte Verfahren gelöst. This object is procedurally achieved by the method claimed in claim 1.
Durch die beanspruchte Verlagerung der Abblaseinrichtung derart, dass das Metallband in dem Schlitz der Abblaseinrichtung wieder in der vorgegebenen Soll- Mittenlage liegt, wird vorteilhafterweise erreicht, dass eine ungleichmäßige Di- ckenverteilung der Beschichiung auf dem Metallband aufgrund der Anstellung der Korrekturrolle bzw. aufgrund einer Veränderung der Anstellung der Korrekturrolle verhindert wird. As a result of the claimed displacement of the blow-off device in such a way that the metal strip in the slot of the blow-off device is again in the predetermined desired center position, it is advantageously achieved that an uneven dihedral The distribution of the Beschichiung on the metal strip due to the employment of the correction roller or due to a change in the employment of the correction roller is prevented.
Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel kann als Kriterium bzw. als Maß für die Verlagerung der Abblaseinrichtung zusätzlich zu der Anstellung der Korrekturrolle auch die zuvor erfasste Abweichung der Ist-Lage des Metallbandes von seiner Soll-Mittenlage dienen. Dieses Kriterium bietet den Vorteil, dass es einen recht genauen Anhaltspunkt über die notwendige Verlagerung der Abblaseinrichtung gibt. According to a first embodiment can serve as a criterion or as a measure of the displacement of the blower in addition to the employment of the correction roller and the previously detected deviation of the actual position of the metal strip of its desired center position. This criterion offers the advantage that there is a fairly accurate indication of the necessary displacement of the blower.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, das Metallband nach dem Verlassen des Beschichtungsbehälters und der Abblaseinrichtung mit Hilfe einer oberhalb der Abblaseinrichtung angeordneten elektromagnetischen Stabilisierungseinrichtung insbesondere gegen unerwünschte Schwingungen zu stabilisieren. Typischerweise stützt sich die Stabilisierungseinrichtung auf der vorgelagerten Abblaseinrichtung mechanisch ab. Die elektromagnetische Stabilisierungseinrichtung wird von der Anmelderin auch als Dynamic Electro Magnetic Coating Optimizer DEMCO bezeichnet. According to a further embodiment, it is provided to stabilize the metal strip after leaving the coating container and the blow-off device with the aid of an electromagnetic stabilizing device arranged above the blow-off device, in particular against unwanted vibrations. Typically, the stabilizer mechanically supports on the upstream blower. The electromagnetic stabilizer is also referred to by the applicant as Dynamic Electro Magnetic Coating Optimizer DEMCO.

Der Beschreibung sind zwei Figuren beigefügt, wobei The description is attached to two figures, wherein
Figur 1 die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung in einer Gesamtansicht; und Figure 1 shows the device according to the invention in an overall view; and
Figur 2 eine Draufsicht auf den Schlitz der Abblaseinrichtung zeigt. Figure 2 is a plan view of the slot of the blower shows.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend in Form von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die genannten Figuren detailliert beschrieben. In beiden Figuren sind gleiche technische Elemente mit gleichen Bezugszeichen bezeichnet. The invention will now be described in detail in the form of embodiments with reference to said figures. In both figures, the same technical elements are designated by the same reference numerals.
Figur 1 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 100 zum Beschichten eines Metallbandes 200 mit einem flüssigen Beschichtungsmaterial 300, z. B. Zink. Zu diesem Zweck wird das zunächst noch unbeschichtete Metallband 200 in Transportrichtung R in einen Beschichtungsbehälter 1 10 geleitet, welcher mit dem flüssigen Beschichtungsmaterial befüllt ist. Innerhalb des Beschichtungsbehälters 10 wird das Metallband 200 mit Hilfe einer Umlenkrolle 1 15 umgelenkt, so dass es den Beschichtungsbehälter nach oben verlässt. Nach dem Durchlaufen des Beschichtungsbehälters haftet das noch flüssige Beschichtungsmaterial an dem Metallband 200. FIG. 1 shows the device 100 according to the invention for coating a metal strip 200 with a liquid coating material 300, for example, As zinc. For this purpose, the initially uncoated metal strip 200 is conducted in the transport direction R in a coating container 1 10, which is filled with the liquid coating material. Within the coating container 10, the metal strip 200 is deflected by means of a deflection roller 15, so that it leaves the coating container upwards. After passing through the coating container, the still liquid coating material adheres to the metal strip 200.
Der Umlenkrolle 1 15 ist in Transportrichtung R des Metallbandes 200 ein Rollenpaar nachgeordnet, zwischen welchem das beschichtete Metallband hindurchgeführt ist. Das Rollenpaar ist typischerweise innerhalb des Beschichtungsbehälters 1 10 derart angeordnet, dass es bei der Durchführung des Beschichtungsprozes- ses von dem Beschichtungsmaterial 300 umgeben ist. Eine der Rollen ist als Korrekturrolle 160 gegen die andere Rolle des Rollenpaares anstellbar, um das Metallband bei Vorhandensein von unerwünschter Wölbung zu glätten. Zu diesem Zweck wird das Ausmaß der Wölbung des Metallbandes 200 mit Hilfe eines Wölbungssensors 154 erfasst und mit einem vorgegebenen Wölbungs-Schwellenwert verglichen. Der Vergleich kann in einer Steuereinrichtung 190 erfolgen. Ist das Ausmaß der Wölbung größer als der Wölbungsschwellenwert, so wird die Korrekturrolle, angesteuert von der Steuereinrichtung 190, gegen das Metallband angestellt. Dem Rollenpaar ist in Transportrichtung R des Metallbandes eine Abblaseinrichtung 120 nachgeordnet, welche einen Schlitz 122 aufspannt, durch welchen das Metallband 200 geführt ist. Mit Hilfe der Abblaseinrichtung wird überschüssiges Beschichtungsmaterial von der Oberfläche des Metallbandes 200 abgeblasen. The deflection roller 1 15 is disposed downstream of a pair of rollers in the transport direction R of the metal strip 200, between which the coated metal strip is passed. The roller pair is typically arranged within the coating container 110 in such a way that it is surrounded by the coating material 300 when carrying out the coating process. One of the rollers can be adjusted as a correction roller 160 against the other roller of the pair of rollers to smooth the metal strip in the presence of unwanted curvature. For this purpose, the degree of curvature of the metal strip 200 is detected by means of a buckling sensor 154 and compared with a predetermined buckling threshold. The comparison can be carried out in a control device 190. If the extent of the curvature is greater than the curvature threshold value, then the correction roller, actuated by the control device 190, is turned against the metal strip. The pair of rollers is downstream of a blower 120 in the transport direction R of the metal strip, which spans a slot 122 through which the metal strip 200 is guided. With the help of the blower excess coating material is blown off the surface of the metal strip 200.
Damit das Abblasen auf der Ober- und Unterseite des Metallbandes 200 gleichmäßig erfolgt, ist es wichtig, dass das Metallband 200 den Schlitz 122 der Abblaseinrichtung 120 in einer vorgegebenen Soll-Mittenlage 28 durchläuft, wie sie in Figur 2 in Form der durchgezogenen Linie in X-Richtung symbolisiert ist. Diese Soll-Mittenlage zeichnet sich insbesondere durch gleichmäßige Abstände bzw. Abstandsverteilungen zu den inneren Rändern des Schlitzes 122 der Abblaseinrichtung 120 aus. Neben der gewünschten vorgegebenen Soll-Mittenlage sind in Figur 2 auch mögliche unerwünschte Ist-Lagen des Metallbandes als gestrichelte Linien eingezeichnet. So bestehen unerwünschte Ist-Lagen für das Metallband beispielsweise darin, dass es gegenüber der Soll-Mittenlage verdreht oder in Y- Richtung parallel verschoben ist. In order for the blowing on the top and bottom of the metal strip 200 to be uniform, it is important that the metal strip 200 passes through the slot 122 of the blower 120 in a predetermined nominal center position 28, as in FIG. 2 in the form of the solid line in X. Direction is symbolized. This desired central position is characterized in particular by uniform distances or distance distributions to the inner edges of the slot 122 of the blower 120. In addition to the desired predetermined desired center position, possible unwanted actual positions of the metal strip are also shown as dashed lines in FIG. Thus, undesired actual layers for the metal strip, for example, in that it is rotated relative to the desired center position or moved parallel in the Y direction.
Wieder bezugnehmend auf Figur 1 ist oberhalb der Abblaseinrichtung 120 eine elektromagnetische Stabilisierungseinrichtung 140 zu erkennen, welche ihrerseits einen Schlitz 142 aufweist, durch den das Metallband 200 ebenfalls geführt ist. Auch hier gilt, dass das Metallband 200 den Schlitz 42 vorzugsweise in einer vorgegebenen Soll-Mittenlage 128 durchläuft, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, damit die durch die elektromagnetische Stabilisierungseinrichtung 140 bereitgestellten Kräfte in gewünschter Weise gleichmäßig auf das Metallband 200 stabilisierend einwirken können. Referring again to FIG. 1, above the blow-off device 120, an electromagnetic stabilization device 140 can be seen, which in turn has a slot 142, through which the metal strip 200 is likewise guided. Again, the metal strip 200 preferably passes through the slot 42 in a predetermined desired center position 128, as shown in FIG. 2, so that the forces provided by the electromagnetic stabilizing device 140 can act in a uniform manner on the metal strip 200 in a uniform manner.
Zum Erfassen einer Abweichung der Ist-Lage des Metallbandes 200 von einer vorgegebenen Soll-Mittenlage in dem Schlitz 122 der Abblaseinrichtung 120 ist ein Lagesensor vorgesehen. Es ist weiterhin eine Regelungseinrichtung 180 vorgese- hen zum Regel der Ist-Lage des Metallbandes 200 auf die vorgegebene Soll- Mittenlage in dem Schlitz 122 der Abblaseinrichtung, wie oben unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 2 erläutert, durch Verlagerung der Abblaseinrichtung 120 mit Hilfe einer Verlagerungseinrichtung 130. Die Verlagerung erfolgt in einer Ebene quer zur Transportrichtung R des Metallbandes. Die Regelung erfolgt im Ansprechen auf die von dem Lagesensor 152 erfasste Abweichung der Ist-Lage von der Soll- Mittenlage des Metallbandes 200. Optional kann die Regelung auch unter zusätzlicher Berücksichtigung des von dem Wölbungssensor 154 erfassen Ausmaßes der Wölbung des Metallbandes erfolgen. For detecting a deviation of the actual position of the metal strip 200 from a predetermined desired center position in the slot 122 of the blower 120, a position sensor is provided. Furthermore, a control device 180 is provided. hen the rule of the actual position of the metal strip 200 to the predetermined desired center position in the slot 122 of the blower, as explained above with reference to Figure 2, by displacement of the blower 120 by means of a displacement device 130. The displacement takes place in a plane across to the transport direction R of the metal strip. The regulation takes place in response to the deviation of the actual position from the nominal center position of the metal strip 200 detected by the position sensor 152. Optionally, the regulation can also take place with additional consideration of the extent of the curvature of the metal strip detected by the curvature sensor 154.
Der Lagesensor 152 und der Wölbungssensor 154 sind beide Teil einer Metallband-Erfassungseinrichtung 150. Die Funktion des Lagesensors 152 und des Wölbungssensors 154 können gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel von einer einzigen typischerweise lasergestützten Sensoreinrichtung, auch kurz„Laser" genannt, realisiert sein; der Lagesensor 152 und der Wölbungssensor 154 bilden dann eine bauliche Einheit in Form der Sensoreinrichtung oder der Metallband- Erfassungseinrichtung. The position sensor 152 and the warp sensor 154 are both part of a metal tape detector 150. The function of the position sensor 152 and the warp sensor 154 may, according to one embodiment, be realized by a single typically laser-assisted sensor device, also referred to as "laser" for short the curvature sensor 154 then form a structural unit in the form of the sensor device or the metal strip detection device.
Gemäß einer ersten Alternative kann die Verlagerung der Abblaseinrichtung 120 nach Maßgabe der erfassten Abweichung der Ist-Lage des Metallbandes von der vorgegebenen Soll-Mittenlage in dem Schlitz 122 der Abblaseinrichtung erfolgen. Anders ausgedrückt: Wird festgestellt, dass das Metallband 200 den Schlitz 122 nicht in der Soll-Mittenlage 128 durchläuft, so wird die Abblaseinrichtung 120 mit Hilfe der Verlagerungseinrichtung 130 derart verlagert, dass das Metallband den Schlitz 122 der Abblaseinrichtung wieder in der vorgegebenen Soll-Mittenlage 128 durchläuft, um die gewünschte gleichmäßige Beschichtung zu gewährleisten. According to a first alternative, the displacement of the blower 120 can take place in accordance with the detected deviation of the actual position of the metal strip from the predetermined desired center position in the slot 122 of the blower. In other words, if it is determined that the metal strip 200 does not pass through the slot 122 in the desired center layer 128, the blower 120 is displaced by means of the displacement device 130 such that the metal strip returns the slot 122 of the blower back to the predetermined desired center position 128 passes through to ensure the desired uniform coating.
Gemäß einer zweiten Alternative oder ergänzend kann die Verlagerung der Abblaseinrichtung 120 auch unter Berücksichtigung der von einer Korrekturrollen- Erfassungseinrichtung 165 erfassten Anstellposition der Korrekturrolle 160 oder deren Veränderung erfolgen. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Ausgang der Korrekturrollen-Erfassungseinrichtung 165 auch auf den Eingang der Regelungseinrichtung 180 gekoppelt. Auf diese Weise würde die Verlagerung der Abblaseinrichtung im Hinblick auf eine gewünschte Maximierung der Gleichmäßigkeit bei der Beschich- tung verbessert. Die Korrekturrollen-Erfassungseinrichtung 165 kann in Form von zwei Encodern ausgebildet sein, von denen jeweils einer auf jeweils einem Antrieb der Korrekturrolle 60 sitzt. According to a second alternative or in addition, the displacement of the blow-off device 120 may also take into account the setting position of the correction roller 160 or... Detected by a correction roller detection device 165 their change takes place. For this purpose, the output of the correction roller detecting means 165 is also coupled to the input of the control means 180. In this way, the displacement of the blower would be improved in view of a desired maximization of the uniformity of the coating. The correction roller detecting means 165 may be in the form of two encoders, one of which is seated on a respective drive of the correction roller 60.
Die Metallband- und Korrekturrollen-Erfassungseinrichtungen 150, 165 sind ausgebildet, vorzugsweise alle denkbaren Abweichungen einer Ist-Lage des Metallbandes von der gewünschten Soll-Mittenlage zu erkennen. Dazu zählen insbesondere eine (Parallel-)Verschiebung des Metallbandes in x- oder y-Richtung oder eine Verdrehung, wie oben unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 2 erläutert. Entsprechend ist die Verlagerungseinrichtung 130 - bei geeigneter Ansteuerung durch die Regelungseinrichtung 180 - ausgebildet, die Abblaseinrichtung 120 in einer Ebene quer zur Transportrichtung R das Metallband in beliebiger Weise zu verfahren, insbesondere (parallel) zu verschieben oder zu verdrehen, um das Durchlaufen des Metallbandes in der Soll-Mittenlage zu realisieren. Die Darstellung der Verlagerungseinrichtung 30 als Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit ist insofern lediglich beispielhaft, aber nicht beschränkend. The metal strip and correction roller detection devices 150, 165 are designed to detect, preferably, all conceivable deviations of an actual position of the metal strip from the desired desired center position. These include, in particular, a (parallel) displacement of the metal strip in the x or y direction or a rotation, as explained above with reference to FIG. Correspondingly, the displacement device 130 - with suitable control by the control device 180 - is designed to move the blower 120 in a plane transverse to the transport direction R the metal strip in any way, in particular (parallel) to move or twist to the passage of the metal strip in to realize the desired center position. The representation of the displacement device 30 as a piston-cylinder unit is insofar merely exemplary, but not restrictive.
