The production of special interior contoured tools made of cemented carbide is a time- and cost-intensive multistage sintering process. An alternative for economic, flexible and automated production is provided by a laser-based, additive manufacturing Selective Laser Melting process (SLM). In a shortened process chain near-net-shape and special interior contoured tools can be manufactured energy- and resource-efficiently in small batch sizes. An increase of the tool life is achieved by the use of wear resistant and tough cemented carbide material. This paper focusses on the process behavior of the agglomerated and pre-sintered tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) powder material in the SLM process. Depending on the exposure parameters, various types of micro structures can be generated and the original material profile can be significantly changed during the laser material interaction.

Producers of turbomachines for the aviation and energy sectors have to meet the future challenges regarding environment protection, resource conservation and profitability. As part of the 2014 market and trend analysis on the subject of Life Cycle Engineering for turbomachinery, the market potential of the concept of Life Cycle Engineering for turbomachines as well as future trends and R&D issues have been identified. It has shown that the mechanical, chemical and thermodynamic characteristics of high-performance ceramics motivate new developments of Life Cycle Engineering in turbomachinery. However, particular material properties like high hardness and strength represent a challenge for the machining process of complex components made from high-performance ceramics. Since process and machining technologies are key components of the LCE concept, this paper will focus on the importance of a holistic hard machining of ceramic matrix composites with regard to technical and economic criteria.

The mold-making industry faces nowadays the challenge of selecting the appropriate manufacturing technology for machining micro molds, normally made of high strength and difficult-to-machine steels. This selection of appropriate technology shall consider the productivity, the involved costs, the operating times, form accuracy and surface quality. The industry producing micro molds is facing the challenge of choosing from two technologies available: the micro milling and the die-sinking μ-EDM. With regard to identical cavities, experiments were conducted aiming the comparison of the technological limitations for both technologies, micro milling and die-sinking μ-EDM, in respect to form accuracy of parts, surface quality and machining time.
Experimental investigations carried out for this study aimed on developing a μ-EDM technology for producing smallest and finest structures with width of 230 μm and depth of 800 μm into a micro mold made of stainles...

Experimental investigations carried out for this study aimed on developing a μ-EDM technology for producing smallest and finest structures with width of 230 μm and depth of 800 μm into a micro mold made of stainless steel. The main goal was to develop and to optimize the μ-EDM technology concerning the machining time, the tool wear of the electrode, and the form and positioning accuracy of the features. The metrological analysis using measuring distinct devices enabled the choice of the appropriate μ-EDM technology for producing the final cavities. Total machining time below 16 min as well as a tool electrode relative wear below 65 μm could be achieved. The cavity with micro structures could be produced at the hardened steel with respect to the requirements, including the exact size of structures (226 μm width) and precise position of cavity on the workpiece. The die-sinking μ-EDM confirmed to be a suitable technology for producing the cavities with micro-structures in hardened steel.

The development of software-intensive technical systems (e.g., within the automotive industry) involves several engineering disciplines like mechanical, electrical, control, and software engineering. Model-based systems Engineering (MBSE) coordinates these disciplines throughout the development by means of discipline-spanning processes and system models. Such a system model provides a common understanding of the system under development and serves as a starting point for the discipline-specific development. An integral part of MBSE is the requirements engineering on the system level. However, for the discipline-specific development to start, these requirements need to be refined, e.g., into specific requirements for the embedded software. Since existing MBSE approaches lack support for this refinement step, we conceived a systematic transition from MBSE to model-based software requirements engineering, which we present in this paper. We automated the steps of the transition where possible, in order to avoid error-prone and time-consuming manual tasks. We illustrate the approach with an example of an automotive embedded system.

Maintenance, repair and overhaul of components are of increasing interest for parts of high complexity and expensive manufacturing costs. In this paper a production process for laser metal deposition is presented, and used to repair a gas turbine burner of Inconel 718. Different parameters for defined track geometries were determined to attain a near net shape deposition with consistent build-up rate for changing wall thicknesses over the manufacturing process. Spot diameter, powder feed rate, welding velocity and laser power were changed as main parameters for a different track size. An optimal overlap rate for a constant layer height was used to calculate the best track size for a fitting layer width similar to the part dimension. Deviations in width and height over the whole build-up process were detected and customized build-up strategies for the 3D sequences were designed. The results show the possibility of a near net shape repair by using different track geometries with laser metal deposition.

Due to the very high demands on availability and efficiency of productionsystems and industrial systems, condition-based maintenance is becoming increasingly important. The use of condition monitoring approaches to increase the machine availability and reduce the maintenance costs, as well as to enhance the process quality, has increased over the last years. The installation of industrial sensors for condition monitoring reasons is complex and cost-intensive. Moreover, the condition monitoring systems available on the market are application specific and expensive. The aim of this paper is to present the concept of a wireless sensor network using Micro-Electro-Mechanical systems – MEMS sensors and Raspberry Pi 2 for data acquisition and signal processing and classification. Moreover, its use for condition monitoring applications and the selected and implemented algorithm will be introduced. This concept realized by fraunhoferinstitute for productionsystems and designtechnologyipk, can be used to detect faults in wear-susceptible rotating components in productionsystems. It can be easily adapted to different specific applications because of decentralized data preprocessing on the sensor nodes and pool of data and services in the cloud. A concrete example for an industrial application of this concept will be represented. This will include the visualization of results which were achieved. Finally, the evaluation and testing of this concept including. implemented algorithms on an axis test rig at different operation parameters will be illustrated.

In the area of product-based control of manufacturing processes, the potential to integrate intelligent products in process control has been recognized several times. However, the effect of greatly varying intelligent products on the control and hybrid system dynamics of the individual (sub-) processes have not been investigated. This article begins with a definition of product-intelligence and a distributed data and interface model. Based on this, a decentralized hybrid reconfiguration structure with different intelligence-based reconfiguration strategies as a function of varying product properties is presented, using the example of a conveyor belt system. Through the implementation on a industrial controller, it has been shown that the concept represents a further module in the realization of cyber-physical systems through comprehensive analysis and synthesis of a highly flexible hybrid control loop.
