Production engineering

The research focus manufacturing technology is aimed to bring new knowledge in machining and ablation processes from research to application. The IMP works in a highly application-oriented manner in publicly funded projects or is directly commissioned by industry.

The main focus is on the following areas:

• Milling up to 5-axis simultaneous machining
• Turning
• Ultrasonic vibration lapping
• Spark erosion (wire, die sinking and orbital erosion)

The following services can be offered:

• Feasibility studies
• Tool life tests
• Process analyses (e.g. force measurements, vibration analyses, high-speed recordings, ...)
• Training courses
• Support with application
• Technology development and process optimization
• Machining of special materials with defined cutting edge
