|
Keywords: Sustainable Development, Recycling, Material Efficiency |
Abstract : The fraction of materials that does not reach the target product in discrete manufacturing is very significant. Directing secondary material streams towards
other manufacturing processes, possibly after intermediate pre-processing, offers opportunities for more energy and resource efficient recycling routes.
This paper contributes to the exploration of such symbiotic recycling strategies by identifying relevant process mechanisms and by systematically scanning
the manufacturing domain for relevant process combinations. Emerging and proven symbiotic combinations within the discrete manufacturing domain
are reviewed, with proper attention for the quantification of the thus avoided environmental impact. A series of representative case studies illustrates the
feasibility of applying industrial symbiosis principles in a discrete manufacturing context, with uniform data sheets providing detailed information on
relevant research achievements.

STC Dn, 73/2/2024, P.10
|
Keywords: Product design, Data science, Data-driven design |
Abstract : This paper investigates the integration of data science and product design towards data-driven design (D3). Data science has potential to facilitate design
decision-making through insight extraction, predictive analytics, and automatic decisions. Various D3 applications are reviewed in three dimensions: the
design dimension about design operations, the data dimension about design-specific/design-relevant data and SOME data-related challenges, and the
method dimension about design methods and data science methods. Some social and ethical considerations in D3 applications are explored. This paper
also opens some discussions on potential avenues and complexities for future research in this dynamic field.

Keywords: Adaptive control, Laser, Beam shaping |
Abstract : Today, tailored laser beams are rarely used and thus an opportunity to optimize existing or introduce new processes is missed. New methods of dynamic
beam shaping have the potential to change that in future. This keynote paper deals with methods allowing a transient energy input into the workpiece at
such time scales that the underlying interaction processes are guided towards the desired result. It shows principles, categorizes necessary system
technology, and gives application examples to familiarize the reader with the top

|
STC G, 73/2/2024, P.2
|
Keywords: Grinding, Modeling, Simulation |
Abstract : Research over the last 70 years has led to a better understanding of fixed-abrasive machining processes. This knowledge is often expressed in the form of
physical and empirical models that cover forces, power, specific energy, wheel/workpiece topography, wear, thermal aspects, cooling, dressing, and more.
This paper first examines the established models that continue to constitute the fundamental knowledge base in fixed-abrasive technology. Special
attention is given to geometry, kinematics, and thermomechanical modeling. Recent advances in process monitoring and big data analytics provide new
opportunities to further strengthen the state of the art in modeling through data-driven approaches. In addition, examples on how models – implemented
in simulation software – can be used to predict and optimize industrial operations have been demonstrated. This is illustrated by several use cases from
real production, including bearing, creep-feed form, gear, camshaft, crankshaft, and centerless grinding, along with diamond-wheel truing.

|
Scott Smith (1), Tony Schmitz (2), Thomas Feldhausen, Michael Sealy (2)
|
STC M, 73/2/2024, P.3
|
Keywords: Hybrid, Additive Manufacturing, Machine tool |
Abstract : Additive manufacturing creates parts by depositing a preform, typically layer by layer. Subtractive manufacturing involves removing material
from a preform to create parts. Hybrid machine tools combine both additive and subtractive processes in the same workspace. They can be used
to create parts that meet functional tolerance and surface finish requirements, or to create features that are difficult to produce using additive
or subtractive processes alone. This paper describes hybrid metal additive/subtractive machine tools. It covers design considerations, sensors
and controls, process management, programming and software, and the impact on the design space. It also identifies future research challenges.

STC S, 73/2/2024, P.5
|
Keywords: Cutting, Sensor Monitoring, Control, Surface Integrity |
Abstract : Cutting and abrasive processes affect the surface layer state of the components treated. This determines their performance in service. An adjustment of
the surface layer properties would allow for enhanced performance. This paper introduces the influences of named processes on the surface layer state
and their systematics. Models and sensor concepts for surface conditioning are described and combined to soft sensors which are the basis for active
control within the processes. A validation study and actual applications of the conditioning concept are shown, allowing for further technological and
scientific understanding of surface conditioning and its contribution to material and energy efficiency.
