Conception of an adaptive process chain for mechanical joining - Mechanical Joining 4.0
Third party funded individual grant

Project details
Short description
Within the project it is investigated how data from the manufacturing process of sheet metal assemblies can be used to detect batch and process fluctuations and to adapt subsequent processes in order to reduce the influence of deviations resulting from the manufacturing process. For this purpose, the process data are correlated with the semi-finished product and component properties in order to identify cross-correlations. The focus at the LFT is on the forming of sheet metal components. The subsequent clamping and joining processes are investigated at the Fraunhofer IGP in Rostock and the LWF in Paderborn, respectively. The networking of the individual process steps is based on a comprehensive exchange of data and the definition of suitable data formats
