Diamond Slide Burnishing as a finishing process is of great industrial interest due to its comparably high process speeds combined with high surface roughness qualities compared to conventional milling. However, the achievable surface roughnesses...

Due to its geometric possibilities, additive manufacturing (AM) offers advantages in a wide variety of areas. By applying AM, it is possible to produce complex structures which can only be realized with increased effort or not at all with cutting...

Process monitoring plays a key role in additive manufacturing to ensure more robust component production. The detection of by-products such as welding fumes can provide information on process quality. This paper examines the possibility of adapting...

Stereotactic frames are instruments for neurosurgical procedures and are to be made from plastics in the future. In order to be able to manufacture such systems, which are required in small quantities every year, economically, it was investigated...

The dressing process is a decisive factor for the process behavior and the achievable surface quality of the workpieces during grinding. Due to insufficient knowledge about the relationships between the dressing variables and the subsequent grinding...

The textile industry is facing challenges with a view to wearable technologies. Existing processes for the production of conductive connections on textiles exhibit weaknesses. One promising solution is laser transmission welding. To transfer this...

The automotive and supplier industry is facing a profound change due to technological, consumer-specific and regulatory requirements. In order to maintain their competitiveness in this dynamic environment, companies must continuously adapt. This...

Hairpin technology, commonly used in the production of electric traction motors, has significant efficiency drawbacks at high rotational speeds due to skin and proximity effects. The „KontaktE“ collaborative research project investigates and...

Due to the moisture-sensitive materials in the battery cells, drying rooms are required during production. Dehumidifying the large volumes of air is very energy-intensive. Modular production concepts with robot cells encapsulated as...

Productivity and production quality in battery cell production still depend heavily on the experience and skills of the system operators. Dashboards that displayprocess-relevant analysis and quality parameters at a glance can support the operating...

The technical expertise required to develop and implement own AI solutions has found its way into companies of the manufacturing sector. However, one challenge remains: there is a lack of tried-and-tested business models that pass on the added value...

The unclear added value of smart services in production is a key obstacle to their use in manufacturing companies. Due to limited resources, a reliable evaluation is particularly important for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to allow for...
