Manufacturing Processes – Innovations in machining and grinding technology

In the research area of manufacturing processes, we develop new methods for machining, grinding technology and surface and component functionalisation. Our aim is to make manufacturing processes more efficient, more sustainable and more precise. We optimise the performance of components and tools through the targeted adaptation of material properties.

Current research focus in the area of manufacturing processes

Our work covers a broad spectrum of manufacturing processes - with a particular focus on:

• Machining technologies - Optimisation of milling and turning processes for targeted material separation and processing
• Grinding technology - Further development of processes such as tool grinding, cut-off grinding and dressing processes
• Process optimisation - Development of resource-saving and economical production strategies and processes
• Material processing - Strategies for processing difficult-to-machine materials and for the development of lightweight materials
• Surface and component functionalisation - innovative technologies (e.g. deep rolling) for the functionalisation of component surfaces and edge zones.
• Analysis of surface and edge zone properties - Evaluation of the component surface and edge zone

Efficient and sustainable manufacturing technologies for industry

Whether single part or series production - we investigate and develop customised solutions for industry. With our expertise in manufacturing processes for machining, grinding technology, surface and component functionalisation, we drive innovative, efficient and sustainable production methods.
