Objectives / Contents
The separating manufacturing processes are characterised by a high degree of flexibility and product quality that can be produced. The knowledge required to select and design these processes is therefore the key to implementing high-performance products in almost all market segments.
The aim of the lecture is to give listeners an overview of the separation process group and to show them the problem of the decisive choice of process. Ultimately, it is the selection of the respective process and its parameter coordination that determines the technological and economic success of the production process. In addition to teaching the theoretical knowledge of cutting and forming separation processes, application-oriented exercises/internships are also carried out. The participating student independently implements a product in terms of production technology by designing the cutting process himself and learning and implementing the system programming. The practical courses take place using highly flexible waterjet cutting of flat components.
Learning outcomes
After completion of the course, the students are able:
- Comprehensive knowledge of separating manufacturing processes,
- To evaluate the applicability of different methods with regard to a processing task,
- To select a separating process for a production task according to economic and ecological aspects, and
- To carry out process design and plant programming itself.
Lecture notes
The lecture scripts will be sent to the students via a mailing list during the semester.
