forming processes are generally characterized by a high degree of material utilization as well as short process times and, consequently, a decent economic efficiency. Considering their application in the manufacturing of large spur gears, forming processes offer a significantly attractive characteristic for the production of essential gearing components commonly used in wind turbines or marine engines. Furthermore, the hot forming process can be defined as an incremental forming process which enables the use of relatively low forming forces and results in a more compact design of the used machines. These conveniences are utilized in terms of roll forming with round tools to form gears and threads in a competitive way. Based on experiences gained over many years of researching rolling technologies, a cross-rolling process characterized by round tools with outer gearings was elaborated to realize a hot forming process for gear rolling of large spur gears at the fraunhofer IWU Chemnitz. Based on the already researched forming of smaller dimensioned gears, rolling trials utilizing a new hot-formingmachinery - including defined inductive heating process before rolling - to realize large gears with outer diameters of up to 1000 millimeters were conducted. In terms of realizing this ambition, the derivation of the designated machine parameters for rolling large gears in real-life dimensions can be defined as a crucial factor. Consequently, the experimental research was followed by a mathematical analyzation of the forming forces, momenta as well as the necessary steps to determine the best possible scaling factors for the work pieces.

Mobile machining solutions use autonomous machining units that can be transported to different part locations, making possible easy maintenance and repair of large industrial equipment. Every new part and location results in different boundary conditions for the mobile machine tool-part system; influencing the dynamics of the combined system and necessitating different strategies for part/machine referencing and clamping. To facilitate efficient mutability and modularity in mobile machining solutions, this paper presents a dynamic substructuring strategy that combines the response characteristics of the mobile machine unit with different base models to obtain the synthesized mobile machine tool dynamic response. Numerical and experimental verification of the approach is provided. Framework presented can also combine measured response of parts for which models may not be available a priori. Methods presented provide experimental guidelines for establishing strategies for planning of machining strategies based on the evaluated dynamics.

Sandwich materials offer high stiffness in combination with small weight. Functional integration allows for additional active and passive functionalities. The paper deals with sandwich materials with sensor and actuator functionality using integrated piezoceramics. The challenges in production are examined in the paper by experiments and numerical simulation. In order to enable the sandwich material for forming, the adhesive properties are highly significant. An appropriate process chain is developed for manufacturing a semi-finished part with integrated piezoceramics which is suitable for forming.

The premise of this work is that more guidance is required for the application of the simultaneous simulation of material flows and energy flows. This assumption is supported by the findings of a systematic review which showed great diversity in earlier published case studies. Yet, other existing procedure models provide little advice regarding the manifestations of specific details of a simulation study. This paper presents a novel procedure model that is meant to increase the efficiency in simulation projects by providing detailed and consistent guidance for design choices in a simulation study. Selected results of its application are shown exemplarily.

In car-body production, the fixtures used for fixing the car-body panels during the joining pro-cesses predominantly consist of rigid constructions that require a time-consuming manual set-up process. To automate the adjustment process and reduce ramp up times, different adjustment modules have been developed at the fraunhofer IWU in order to meet specific requirements. Because of high quality requirements, produced components will be checked against an adjustment database. The exactly positioning for each clamping point will be derived, with the aid of mathematical algorithms and modern methods of artificial intelligence, based on measured values and the knowledge of the template technicians.
