In deep drilling, boreholes with a length-to-diameter ratio of more than 200 can be productively produced. To ensure the functionality of deep holes, they must have the lowest possible center course in addition to typical quality requirements (e.g. diameter accuracy). The center course is the offset of the real bore axis from the ideal bore axis. The aim of the project is to develop a compensation unit that detects the center course in the process and corrects it simultaneously by means of an active tool system. Among other things, a measuring system is being developed for this purpose.
Mobile rope grinding is a widely used method for cutting large-volume components. The process is used in the construction industry, demolition and natural stone quarrying. Nowadays, productivity and process reliability are determined exclusively by the experience of the machine operator. For example, process errors, such as the pushing up of cutting beads or eccentrically worn cutting beads, can only be identified manually by the machine operator during process interruptions. Accordingly, the aim of the research project is to develop a process monitoring system for mobile rope grinding. To this end, new types of measuring systems are being developed for rope grinding, among other things.
Additive Fertigungsverfahren (AF) haben in den vergangenen Jahren stark an
Bedeutung gewonnen. Der Einsatz von AF bietet die Möglichkeit, individuelle,
funktionsgerechtere Bauteile mit minimalem Materialeinsatz zu fertigen, die mithilfe
herkömmlicher Fertigungsverfahren nicht oder nur mit großem Aufwand zu fertigen
sind.
The fatigue strength of butt joints is significantly dependent on their residual stress state. Deep rolling is a manufacturing process for introducing residual compressive stresses that have a positive effect on fatigue strength. In this project, the deep rolling process for butt joints of thick plates is qualified and the influence of the process on fatigue crack growth is quantified.
The aim of this research project is to understand surface expression using flank milling as an example, with particular emphasis on tool microgeometry and process manipulated variables. An essential aspect of the project is the development of methods for the extension of machining simulations by higher order geometric features. For this purpose, the approach of the continuous wavelet transformation is used for the first time and further developed accordingly.
Universal spindles currently on the market are often only suitable for one of the two very productive processes of high-speed or high-performance machining due to their limited working range. The aim of the project is to develop a "hybrid" spindle that can switch between these two operating areas depending on the process, since in this case a wide range of materials can be processed cost-effectively and efficiently on the same machine.
During the operation of motor spindles, heat losses occur in the motor and bearings. This heat leads to a series of undesired effects within the spindle-bearing-system. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop a shaft cooling system based on lamellar heat exchangers.

This project’s objective is to machine microscopic dimple to the inner surface of cylinder liners. These dimples improve the lubrication and thus reduce the friction and wear.
In the research project "CAxPoli - Technological CAD/CAM chain for the automated polishing of geometrically complex workpieces" the automated machining process is investigated using the example of tooth polishing by returning the actual machining results to process planning. The aim is to select and adjust the appropriate process parameters automatically depending on the processing status. The automatic machining of complex workpieces shall be achieved by the feedback of the machining result as well as by a continuous build-up of knowledge from previous machining processes.
An important quality criterion in the process design is the prevention of geometric shape deviations due to interactions of process and workpiece. The deformation of the workpiece is primarily determined by the process forces, the material properties and the changing workpiece shape over time. Due to these relationships, a large number of experiments is required for the design of tool grinding processes until the process is customised. The aim of this project is the development and research of a method for the model-based design of individual tool grinding processes in industrial environments.
The aim of the research project is to develop a resource efficient recycling process of cemented carbide milling tools. This is to be achieved by using worn tools as blanks in a regenerative tool grinding process. The process enables a significant saving in energy and material, which is unavoidable in conventional carbide recycling processes through the pulverizing, impurities removal and sintering of the cemented carbide.
The research group FOR 1845 “UP-HPC” investigates scientific methods and innovative technologies in order to increase the machining performance in ultra-precision cutting. In cooperation with the University of Bremen, the Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools (IFW) explores the potential of electromagnetic linear guides and model-based control strategies for use in ultra-precision machine tools.
