The Magazine of the Production Technology Center Berlin

A new Fraunhofer lighthouse project is investigating how production systems can become more resilient through cooperative behavior. Empathy plays a crucial role in this.

Burrs can be reduced by skillful process control and adaptation of the cutting conditions, or avoided completely with sharp tool cutting edges.

Bernfried Fleiner, exeron GmbH and Prof. Dr. Julian Polte, Fraunhofer IPK, IWF TU Berlin discuss the variable »precision« as a key to sustainable production.

By combining Scangineering
and additive repair technologies,
tools or components can
be repaired automatically.

It can heat as well as cool – a new thermoelectric system enables temperature control of motorized spindles as needed, thus increasing the precision of machine tools.

Machine tools still set the tone in terms of accuracy. But industrial robots are catching up more and more – thanks to AI, among other things.

Ultra-precision machining is the ultimate in manufacturing technology – it hardly gets any more accurate than this.

The cooperation between Germany and Brazil in the area of Industry 4.0 is picking up speed – with Fraunhofer IPK as a major driver.
