The double-sided lapping process is increasingly being replaced by double face grinding process. The advantages are increased productivity and significantly lower environmental impact. However, there are challenges when machining extremely hard and...

Currently, the production of lithium-ion battery cells is subject to high levels of scrap across almost the entire process chain. A reduction in production scrap reduces both the consumption of resources and costs, and increases the productivity of...

Precise knowledge of the local material removal during mass finishing is essential in order to avoid the occurrence of shape deviations, such as unacceptably high rounding of workpiece edges. To take the material removal into account in advance,...

Ultrasonic-assisted machining offers the potential to significantly shift the process limits in the machining of brittle materials. However, commercially available ultrasonic systems are severely limited in terms of the parameters that can be...

The additive manufacturing of continuous fibre-reinforced plastic components (CFRP) enables the cost-effective production of complex components for various industries. Laser sintering as a process has only recently been developed for the production...

Data-based process monitoring makes it possible to precisely analyze milling processes and detect anomalies at an early stage – without the need to retrofit additional sensors. By using specialized models and self-learning mechanisms, varying...

Laser Material Deposition is a complex manufacturing process that can be digitized by comprehensive multimodal process monitoring. This article deals with the integration of sensor technology, spatially resolved data acquisition and analysis, and...

Powder bed fusion-laser beam melting (PBF-LB/M) enables the production of complex titanium aluminide parts. However, high temperature gradients Δϑ and residual stresses σ lead to cracking and porosity Φ. This study investigates substrate...

The industrial importance of additive manufacturing technologies is steadily increasing due to a growing understanding of the process and the utilization of the specific process advantages. Particle adhesion occurs during the powder bed-based...
