    Ein großes Optimierungspotenzial der Funkenerosion liegt in den Energien der einzelnen Entladungen verborgen. Eine vektorielle Bestimmung der Entladedauern und die darauf basierende Energieberechnung sowie Klassifizierung erlauben es, die Entladeenergien, Entladungsarten und -dauern in Echtzeit zu überwachen und zu analysieren. Möglich wird dies durch ein Multiprocessing-Erzeuger-Verbraucher-Schema, welches überdies eine Visualisierung und Auswertung der Messdaten erlaubt.

    Enabling of Automatically Generation of Cutting Paths for Three-Dimensional Pre-Contouring with Waterjet Trimming
    ( 2023)
    Reder, Waldemar
    ;
    Abrasive Water Injector Jet Cutting (AWIJC) is a flexible machining process for manufacturing high-performance materials, such as titan-and nickel-base-alloys. Due to the low ductility and thermal conductivity of these materials, conventional machining is struggling with high tool costs and wear. The tool wear in AWIJC is independent of the machined material, and the process has the potential to provide a cost-efficient solution in machining high-performance materials. Trimming, a near-net-shape pre-contouring with multi-stage AWIJC, requires a detailed knowledge of cutting paths for all steps in advance. In order to enable a geometrical flexible manufacturing process, an automatically cutting path generation is necessary. This article presents an application developed with NX Open using Visual Basic. The application TrimCAD is able to provide all necessary geometries for trimming based on the geometries of initial and finished parts. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the number of cuts and the degree of pre-contouring. All geometries are automatically exported as a standardized three-dimensional STEP-file. The STEP-geometries can be processed to the CAM-processor of the waterjet machine. TrimCAD is an innovative possibility to machine three-dimensional parts made of high-performance materials.

    Die Nutzung von Digitalisierungstechnologien im Kontext von Industrie 4.0 bietet insbesondere für den gesamten Bereich der Wartung und Instandhaltung von elektrischen Großantrieben großes Potenzial zur Schaffung innovativer Serviceangebote. Durch erweiterte Sensorik im elektrischen Antrieb und Intelligenz in der Verarbeitung und Analyse von Daten im Betrieb von Anlagen, kann eine vorausschauende Instandhaltungsstrategie eingeführt werden, die eine höhere Verfügbarkeit der Anlagen ermöglicht und gleichzeitig den Aufwand für Instandhaltungseinsätze reduziert. Um diese Potenziale im Servicegeschäft elektrischer Großantriebe zu erschließen, wird in diesem Beitrag ein hypothesengetriebener Ansatz zur Zustandsüberwachung beschrieben.

    Many industrial machining operations are carried out under wet machining conditions. Modelling and simulating fluid-structure-interactions and conjugate heat transfer are still a challenge nowadays. In this paper, temperature dependent heat transfer coefficients (HTC) h(T) are experimentally estimated for wet machining-like conditions in a jet cooling experiment. The transient temperature is thereby used to solve an Inverse Heat Transfer Problem for HTC function estimation. Determined HTC are applied as input in related jet cooling simulation using the Finite-Pointset-Method (FPM) to validate the modeling approach. Additionally, wet cutting simulations numerically highlight the influence of determined HTC h(T) on turning.

    Optimizing the sharpening process of hybrid-bonded diamond grinding wheels by means of a process model
    ( 2022) ;
    Muthulingam, Arunan
    The grinding wheel topography influences the cutting performance and thus the economic efficiency of a grinding process. In contrary to conventional grinding wheels, super abrasive grinding wheels should undergo an additional sharpening process after the initial profiling process to obtain a suitable microstructure of the grinding wheel. Due to the lack of scientific knowledge, the sharpening process is mostly performed manually in industrial practice. A CNC-controlled sharpening process can not only improve the reproducibility of grinding processes but also decrease the secondary processing time and thereby increase the economic efficiency significantly. To optimize the sharpening process, experimental investigations were carried out to identify the significant sharpening parameters influencing the grinding wheel topography. The sharpening block width lSb, the grain size of the sharpening block dkSb and the area-related material removal in sharpening VâSb were identi fied as the most significant parameters. Additional experiments were performed to further quantify the influence of the significant sharpening parameters. Based on that, a process model was developed to predict the required sharpening parameters for certain target topographies. By using the process model, constant work results and improved process reliability can be obtained.

    Mit steigenden Anforderungen an Zerspanwerkzeuge hinsichtlich Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit gewinnt die Schneidkantenpräparation immer mehr an Bedeutung. Definierte Schneidkantenmikrogeometrien können dabei die Standzeiten der Zerspanwerkzeuge erhöhen. Ein hohes Potenzial für die Herstellung von definierten Schneidkantenmikrogeometrien weist das 3D-Formschleifen auf. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes wurde die Eignung von 3D-Formschleifen zur Herstellung definierter Schneidkantenmikrogeometrien an keramischen Wendeschneidplatten untersucht.

    In the era of digital transformation of the manufacturing and process industry, heterogeneity of assets is one of the most challenging issues towards digitally integrating components within the Industrial Internet of Things. In this context every participant relies on its proprietary digitalization approach envisioned by Plattform Industrie 4.0. To consolidate these heterogeneous data exchange interfaces, e.g communication protocols, data formats etc., an intermediate step of harmonization is required. Our contribution provides an architecture based on the Asset Administration Shell standard to bring heterogeneous Cyber-Physical-Systems together. We illustrate the functionality through an abstract use-case.

    High-Performance Electro-Discharge Drilling with a Novel Type of Oxidized Tool Electrode
    Electro-discharge drilling is a key technology for manufacturing sophisticated nozzles in a broad range of automotive and aerospace applications. The formation of debris in the working gap leads to arcs and short circuits on the lateral surface when state-of-the-art tool electrodes are used. As a result, limited drilling depth, increased linear tool wear, and the conicity of boreholes are still challenges. In this work, a new approach for the passivation of the lateral surface of copper tool electrodes by oxidation is shown. The comparison with state-of-the-art tool electrodes showed a reduction in the erosion duration by 48% for machining hardened steel. Promising improvements could be achieved by the thermal oxidation of the tool electrodes with the aim of increasing the electrical resistivity of the lateral surface of the tool electrode. However, due to the loss of strength, the high oxide layer thickness, and the partial delamination of the oxide layer, further comprehensive investigations on the influence of the oxidation temperature need to be conducted. Future adjustments with lower oxidation temperatures will be carried out.
