Production and automation laboratory / labs

In the laboratories for production and automation, students have the opportunity to see how the academic studies; (academic) curriculum; are applied in practice and also to deepen their knowledge themselves as part of their coursework and final theses.

The following laboratories / labs are available for this purpose:

Micro and precision manufacturing laboratory / lab

The micro and precision manufacturing laboratory / lab focuses on the production of precision and micro parts using electrical discharge machining (EDM) and the high-speed cutting process (HSC). Compared to conventional cutting methods, the HSC process, procedure is characterized by a high working speed, high surface quality and a high cutting volume. Furthermore, three-dimensional contours are easy to produce. The EDM process, procedure has the advantage of more precise parts and higher surface qualities, but the disadvantage is a long processing time.

Equipment

Mechatronics sample system for micro and precision manufacturing

A mechatronics sample system with 8 workstations and Telematics test benches are available as equipment.

Examples of Master's and Bachelor's theses

Miniaturization of a 3D printing module for rapid manufacturing on CNC milling machines
Development of a learning/teaching module for NC programming software Tebis
Drive development for an intelligent AM tool for CNC machine tools

Automation laboratory / lab

In the automation laboratory / lab, students can learn in practice how automation processes are put into operation on real hardware. They train to program such attachments independently with the help of tutorials.

Examples of Masters (UK)/master's (US) theses

Development of an MES training module for a sample Mechatronics system
Design, commissioning and optimization of a role picker portal
Cloud interface for flexible assembly/disassembly system (Industry 4.0)

Rapid prototyping laboratory / lab

In the Rapid Prototyping laboratory / lab, it is possible to produce components from CAD data using stereolithography, for example.
Compared to conventional manufacturing processes, prototypes with complicated geometries can be produced relatively quickly and cost-effectively, for example to test the shape or handling of the part.

Examples of Master's and Bachelor's theses

Process development and optimization for the production of high reduction gears using the selective laser melting process
Development and construction of a miniaturized extrusion system for the production of plastic wires for 3D printing using the FLM process, procedure
Development of a micro DLP module
