This paper introduces a new concept for flexible motion planning and control of industrial robots. Instead of a closed monolithic architecture, an open service-based framework is proposed. The services can be run hardware-independent on a decentralized IT infrastructure (Cloud) allowing a fast reconfiguration of control modules and their multiple usage in different tasks. The services can be run on a dedicated PC or on individual virtual machines inside a single computing cluster. The proposed service-based framework was implemented and tested for the motion planning of a robotic manipulator. Effects on control performance, availability and scalability are investigated and documented.

The measuring time tm is a limiting factor for the application of industrial X-ray 3D Computed Tomography (CT) as a test method for measuring tasks, especially in technical application areas with varying components [1]. The paper shows the influence of the number of projections np and the rotation technique on the image quality in dependence of the geometry and material of test objects for industrial X-ray 3D CT.

Selective Laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technology that uses laser as a power source to sinter powdered metals to produce solid structures. The application of SLM permits engineers to develop and implement components with topologically optimized designs and resultant material properties in comparison to conventionally produced casting parts. Current aviation programs as ACARE 2020 (Advisory Council for Aviation Research and Innovation in the EU) and Flightpath 2050 request a reduction of fuel consumption as well as CO 2 and NOx emissions in the next years. To meet these requirements there is a clear trend to produce light-weight components for engines and structural parts of aircrafts through SLM. Since SLM process is a key technology for aeronautical application, this paper focusses on the qualification of a high performance titanium alloy as well as on the investigation of optimized process parameters and positioning strategies of the structures produced in the SLM machine.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an established standard for both, medical and industrial volumetric imaging. To compute a 3D volume, multiple 2D x-ray projection images of an object of interest are acquired fr...

Uniaxial vehicles for goods transport such as hand trucks are popular with many transport tasks. They offer intuitive manoeuvrability with little space requirements. The disadvantage of this class of pedestrian controlled means of transportation is the need for the user to apply force for stabilisation and propulsion. To eliminate this disadvantage a solution approach is to equip the vehicle with a controlled drive system providing force for both balancing and propulsion. To make possible stabilisation of a uniaxial vehicle for goods transport without need for external support the frame's pitch angle must be adapted with every change of load, which is a fundamental difference to uniaxial vehicles without payload or for passenger transportation. To make possible intuitive and convenient pedestrian controlled manoeuvre even with high payload the controller must set translational and rotational speed based on low interaction forces applied by the user going along. To allow for cheap production we developed a balance and manoeuvre controller not requiring sensor information of both load's absolute weight and user interaction forces. Main components of the concept are a balance controller including a Kalman state estimator for identification of frame's and load's combined centre of gravity's pitch angle, a manoeuvre controller based on state space control and a sophisticated program sequence switching automatically between operating modes for reload and manoeuvre. The control concept was designed and implemented using our new uniaxial vehicle system for urban goods transport. This vehicle is the first electrically powered hand truck that both balances adaptive to changing payload and allows for pedestrian controlled manoeuvre without need to operate control levers for setting speed or steering angle. The experimental results presented in this paper show the correct operation of the approach.

Micro milling is commonly used industrially for the production of precision components. Premature tool wear is usually the reason for a short tool life of cemented carbide end mills. An approach to improve the tool wear behavior is the defined cutting edge preparation. In this contribution, experimental investigations on the formation of cutting edge geometry during immersed tumbling of micro milling tools are presented and discussed. It could be shown that it is possible to prepare end mills with a diameter D = 1 mm and to generate edge radii of 4.0 μm ≤ rβ ≤ 31.2 μm. Investigations about the correlations between the cutting edge geometry and the tool wear behavior in micro milling operations showed decreased flank and crater wear as a result of an appropriate cutting edge preparation.

Laser remote welding is a dynamic and flexible joining technology which enables various new approaches in welding sequence and weld position planning. However, the challenge is to find the optimal set-up within this large parameter space. In this article, numerical welding simulation is used to deal with this challenge. For a car door, different welding sequences and weld positions were numerically analyzed and compared with respect to its welding distortion behavior.

This paper gives an introduction to the process of an experimental project in pertaining to the planning and integrating of a human-robot interactive stone carving system. The process includes an analysis of manual stone carving by a professional sculptor, a risk assessment of the projected robotic assistant system resulting in the safety concepts, a design of a tool carrier with force sensors and the human-machine interface. A standard industrial robot was selected and enhanced with extensive periphery to build up the intelligent tool carrier. Besides scientific results regarding work space and contact force suitable for human-robot collaboration, this paper presents the sculptural aspects within the experiment project. The professional scluptor evaluated the results as beyond manual processing.
