Profile of the Professorship
In the course of the appointment of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Dix in October 2020, the professorship of Machine Tool Design and Forming Technology has been renamed in professorship Production Systems and Processes.
The Professorship is integrated into the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes (IWP) of Chemnitz University of Technology. Established in 1956, it has developed into an efficient and recognized research and training facility for production technology in Germany.
Our work focuses on teaching and research in the field of production technology. In the three teaching and research divisions "Machine Tools and Machining Technologies", "Process Informatics / Virtual Product Development" and "Control and Feedback Control Technology", our researchers interdisciplinarily deal with topics that can be assigned to the strategic goals of Industry 4.0 and resource efficiency in production. Areas of application are primarily mechanical engineering, the automotive and supplier industry as well as medical technology.
