STC A, 69/2/2020, P.533
|
Keywords: Lifecycle, Methodology, Absolute sustainability |
Abstract : The global society faces huge challenges to meet the expanding needs of a growing population within the constraints posed by a climate
crisis and a strongly accelerated loss of biodiversity. For sustainability, the total environmental impact of our activities must respect the
planetary boundaries that define what is a safe operating space for our civilization. Engineering must change the current focus on ecoefficiency to a search for solutions that are effective in terms of operating within the share of the total pollution space that they can
claim. Engineering for environmental sustainability must be life cycle engineering, and the paper positions it relative to the constraints
given by the boundaries of the ecosystems, the targets of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals and the strategies for a
circular economy. This top-down perspective is combined with a bottom-up perspective from the life cycle of the product and
technology. For each stage of the life cycle, the contents of the toolbox for life cycle engineering are reviewed, and a perspective is given
on how absolute environmental sustainability requirements can be incorporated in a target-driven life cycle engineering.

|
Keywords: Broaching, Machining, Modelling, Chip formation |
Abstract : Broaching is a unique machining process with high accuracy and surface quality, which is employed in mass and batch production for the manufacture of components with
highly complex geometries. It involvves the use of multiple-edged complex tools in which the cutting edges are arranged with an offset also known as “rise per tooth” that
determines the depth of cut per tooth. This paper presents the state-of-the-art of both the experimental and modelling aspects of broaching, and identifies the most important
features related to this machining process. This includes a critical assessment of specifically designed broaching setups and their applicability and/or limitations compared to
the machines used in industry. Contributions from academia and industry are included to support a comprehensive report of recent advances, as well as a roadmap for future
developments.

Keywords: Machining, Machine Tool, Process Control |
Abstract : In this paper the idea of Self‐Optimizing Machining Systems (SOMS) is introduced and discussed. Against the background of Industry 4.0, here the focus
is the technological level of discrete workpiece production by mechanical machining processes utilizing related machine tools and equipment. Enabling
technologies, principles, and methods are described that allow for the implementation of machining systems which are capable of adapting their
parameters and settings autonomously, in order to optimize for productivity, quality, and efficiency in manufacturing. Following a description of the
meaning and a definition of SOMS as well as a historical retrospection, the required elements of SOMS are discussed and exemplary approaches are
presented. Based on sophisticated process planning, monitoring, adaptive control, simulation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, strategies,
state‐of‐the‐art solutions for self‐optimization in machining applications are introduced. Several examples showcase how different types of enabling
technologies can be integrated synergistically, to improve the manufacturing of parts by SOMS. Finally, the future potential of SOMS as well as challenges
and needs are summarized. The paper especially considers the results of the CIRP Cross‐STC Collaborative Working Group on SOMS.

|
Keywords: Urban Factories, Urban Production, Cyber-Physical Production Systems, Urban Economics, Sustainable Development |
Abstract : Ongoing urbanization and increasing decentralization of production have increased interest in the urban factory concept. Urban
factories are production systems located in an urban environment that make use of the unique resources and characteristics of their
surroundings to create products locally with a potentially high degree of customer involvement. This paper explores key technologies
and methods, enabling production in cities and requirements to expand and support the urban factory concept. Industry examples are
presented to highlight the opportunity that urban factories provide to deliver better, more customizable products at a lower cost, lower
environmental impact and shorter lead-time. In general, there are still high uncertainties on how the underlying physical and
immaterial exchange flows of urban factories influence urban systems and vice versa. Technological solutions fostering positive urban
production systems are mainly coming from single disciplinary backgrounds and are increasingly transferred to the application in
urban production sites.

Keywords: Additive Manufacturing, Design, DfAM |
Abstract : In recent decades additive manufacturing (AM) has evolved from a prototyping to a production technology. It is used to produce end-use-parts for medical,
aerospace, automotive, and other industrial applications from small series up to 100,000 of commercially successful products. Metal additive
manufacturing processes are relatively slow, require complex preparation and post-processing treatment while using expensive machinery, resulting in
high production costs per product. Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) aims at optimizing the product design to deal with the complexity of the
production processes, while also defining decisive benefits of the AM based product in the usage stages of its life cycle. Recent investigations have shown
that the lack of knowledge on DfAM tools and techniques are seen as one of the barriers for the further implementation of AM. This paper presents a
framework for DfAM methods and tools, subdivided into three distinct stages of product development: AM process selection, product redesign for
functionality enhancement, and product optimization for the AM process chosen. It will illustrate the applicability of the design framework using examples
from both research and industry.

|
STC F, 69/2/2020, P.600
|
Keywords: Damage, Metal forming, Product properties |
Abstract : Physical mechanisms of ductile damage in metal forming, experimental characterization methods for damage, and models predicting the damage level
in formed components are reviewed. Applications of damage analysis in metal forming processes reveal that damage in metal formed parts is not failure,
but a product property that accumulates between processes. Various metal forming process designs demonstrate that damage in formed products can be
reduced and their performance can be increased. Static and fatigue strength, impact toughness, stiffness, and formability are typical examples of
performance indicators that can be improved by damage-based process design. Potential scientific and technological challenges are addressed to realize
damage-controlled metal forming processes.

|
C. Heinzel (2), B. Kirsch, D. Meyer (2), J. Webster (1)
|
STC G, 69/2/2020, P.624
|
Keywords: Grinding wheel, Fluid, Tool cleaning |
Abstract : This paper reviews the physical and chemical interactions between the rotating tool and the supplied fluid in grinding. The mechanisms of this
tool-fluid interaction are the key for high performance grinding processes due to an efficient fluid supply and resulting in a minimal
thermomechanical impact on workpiece and tool. Reduced wear, increased surface finish, suitable subsurface properties of the machined material,
increased material removal rates, and also energy efficiency can be achieved. In this context, the fluid supply towards the contact zone between
tool and workpiece, the tool cleaning with high pressure cleaning nozzles as well as (tribo)-chemical phenomena between the abrasive layer and
the supplied fluid are analysed and discussed. Finally, knowledge gaps are revealed which are indicating future research needs.

Keywords: Digital Manufacturing System, Information, Learning |
Abstract : Continued advancement of sensors has led to an ever-increasing amount of data of various physical nature to be acquired from production lines.
As rich information relevant to the machines and processes are embedded within these “big data”, how to effectively and efficiently discover
patterns in the big data to enhance productivity and economy has become both a challenge and an opportunity. This paper discusses essential
elements of and promising solutions enabled by data science that are critical to processing data of high volume, velocity, variety, and low veracity,
towards the creation of added-value in smart factories of the future.

|
Keywords: Manufacturing metrology, Traceability, Dimensional artefacts |
Abstract : Dimensional measurements play a central role in enabling advanced manufacturing technologies, enhancing the quality of products and increasing
productivity. This role becomes even more important in the context of Industry 4.0, where reliable and accurate digital models of products, processes and
production systems are needed. To establish the traceability chain that links measurements in production to the length unit, dimensional artefacts –
ranging from measurement standards to calibrated workpieces – are fundamental. The paper examines dimensional artefacts, discussing their
characteristics, availability and role in supporting production by establishing metrological traceability, and provides guidelines for their selection, use and
development.

Keywords: Manufacturing, Structure, Multiscale |
Abstract : Multiscale structured surfaces are a way to provide advanced, otherwise not attainable functionality on a technical part. Applications of such parts can be
manifold, and numerous works have already covered the transfer of natural examples into bio-inspired surfaces or the geometrical and functional
metrology of such surfaces. After briefly presenting typical functionalities of multiscale structured surfaces, this keynote paper will focus on the available
manufacturing processes and review their capabilities to generate multiscale structured surfaces. To compare such processes, the so-called
“multiscality” is defined that characterizes the structured surfaces according to the lateral and vertical extent of the individual stacked elements and is
used as a first indicator to assess the difficulty of their manufacture. As the boundaries of what is considered a multiscale structure are diffuse, ranges of
low, medium and high multiscality are defined instead. After presenting the state of the art of manufacturing processes currently utilized for the
manufacture of (not only multiscale) structured surfaces, this keynote paper summarizes the capabilities of single-step and multi-step/multi-physics
approaches for their applicability across different scales and gives an outlook on which processes could potentially become relevant in the
future.
