The publication describes research into the laser hardening process of the camshaft cams surface. Samples of camshaft cams made of structural bearing steel were hardened using a powerful fiber laser LS-15. The effect of altering the laser surface hardening process parameters on the microstructure and microhardness of the surface was investigated. Also, the influence of low-temperature tempering after laser surface hardening was shown.
Micro-milling is an appropriate process for the industrial production of precision parts in the mould and die industry. Decisive for a long tool life is the wear resistance, which can be improved by cutting edge prepa...

The profitability of companies, especially in Germany, is affected by rising energy prices and increasingly stringent energy legislation. Certification according to ISO 50.001, an international standard for energy management systems, can help to meet legal requirements and increase energy efficiency. This article offers assistance in the form of a methodology that provides a structure for the selection process of an energy management system (EnMS). Considering properties of the individual company, it helps to identify an appropriate software solution. It is applied to a globally operating metalworking company in an example study. Furthermore, the measurement infrastructure in particular is a basic requirement that should not be overlooked in addition to the process of choosing an appropriate software solution. In this context, suitable metering points or criteria must be defined as well as sufficient attention paid to the anticipated costs for acquiring and integrating new measuring transducer and energy meters. The type and number of relevant measuring points must be considered in particular. Discussing these aspects, this article facilitates the process of planning and implementing an energy monitoring.

In the recent decades, aerospace and automotive industry are replacing metal materials by carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP). The mechanical properties of CFRP materials are very attractive due to high mechanical strength and low weight. However, there are technological challenges in the machining process for this type of material. The anisotropy and inhomogeneity of the CFRP cause high wear of the cutting tool, spalling, delamination, fuzzing, fibre pull-out, matrix cracking, thermal degradation and resulting in poor quality of the part. In addition, the requirement for processes that are more flexible within a larger work area makes the use of industrial robot (IR) a promising alternative. The present work evaluated the performance of the IR regarding motion accuracy, which influences machining conditions of composites. The trimming in a pocket milling was carried out using the factional replication of the 3k factorial design, with three levels and three factors. The tool geometry, feed rate fz and spindle speed n were selected as input parameters. In order to evaluate the robotic machining performance, resultant cutting force Fr, surface and dimensional quality were selected as output parameters to be assessed. After obtaining the force results, equations were generated for each cutting tools and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was applied. The results show that the use of IR is a promising alternative for the CFRP machining of large aeronautical components.

Due to the increased complexity of machines and plants service technicians have to be more trained to be able to maintain them. In many service operations it is still common to use simple service manuals like checklists. With the strong growth of the information and communication technology it is possible to create interactive and context-sensitive tools to support service technicians during operations. One problem is that these tasks are always in change by new knowledge. To solve this issue a model-based engine is being developed to dynamically generate instruction-tools for service operations for direct machine communication.

Life data analysis is an effective statistical process to gain information on the reliability of technical facilities. The Weibull analysis is a widely-used method for modeling the probabilities of different functional failures. For its application in modern manufacturing and maintenance processes, an automation of this analysis is expedient. An exemplary process of data collection and fitting of a parametric model with continuous time scale is analyzed in this article. Its automation with different statistic software tools is described and comparatively evaluated. With the ambition of minimizing manual effort in the process, a highly automated solution was developed in this research. We describe this self-implemented solution in 'R' and justify that this procedure automatizes the process more than the examined commercial implementations. The here presented work proves to be a practical real-time assistance, right now applied in aircraft maintenance.
