Conservation of valuable materials by a highly efficient forming system (CoVaForm)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

In the forging industry the biggest part of production costs are material costs. Different processes are used to get the final shape. Some processes e. g. machining have a bad material utilization. To raise the competitiveness of SMEs, one approach is to improve the material utilization by decreasing scrap material (flash, chips). A possibility for a higher material utilization is cross wedge roll ...

Autonomous robotic system for thermo-graphic detection of cracks (ThermoBot)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Non-destructive testing of components is an important auxiliary process step, not only in post-production but also in regular maintenance. The detection of cracks is currently done by using magnetic particle inspection, which is a decades-old, inefficient and ecologically undesirable process. There is an urgent need in industry to replace this technology with more up-to-date methods that provide f ...

Autonomous cleaning robot for large scale photovoltaic power plants in Europe resulting in 5% cost reduction of electricity (PV-Servitor)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

The PV-Servitor project focuses on concepts for a fully autonomous cleaning robot for ground mounted large scale photovoltaic power plants consisting of several 100 kW units. The PV-Servitor shall be able to automatically clean glass surfaces of solar modules in several areas of up to 2,500 square meters in an unrestricted way. Its application will increase the electricity output of the PV plant b ...
