Laboratory for Intelligent Production Systems
Hello and welcome to the website of the Laboratory for Intelligent Production Systems
The Laboratory for Intelligent Production Systems represents a cross-disciplinary intersection between the fields of manufacturing engineering, mechatronic production systems, machine tools, and assembly technology, while also addressing aspects of quality-assuring process monitoring, production planning, and, last but not least, in-house logistics. As such, the laboratory reflects the key components of a modern industrial value chain and demonstrates the application of computer-integrated manufacturing in the spirit of Industry 4.0.
Laboratory Setup
The laboratory setup is designed to optimally prepare students for future careers in industrial sectors where complex technical products are manufactured cost-effectively. Starting with a specific assembly, students are to define the necessary assembly process—along with any required fixtures—and select appropriate tools. Ideally, students will have previously designed the assembly in question as part of another course (Design, Lightweight Construction, Product Design, etc.).
CNC-controlled milling machine
One example worth mentioning here is the design and construction of a CNC-controlled milling machine that was developed specifically for the production of so-called “shadow boards” (foam drawer inserts).
The milling machine was designed, built, and commissioned as part of a bachelor’s thesis. Work is currently underway to enclose the milling machine.
