Efficient simulation technology for the analysis of the thermo-elastic behaviour of compact assemblies of machine tools (T05#)

• Subject Area: Production Automation and Assembly Technology ; Automation, Mechatronics, Control Systems, Intelligent Technical Systems, Robotics ; Engineering Design, Machine Elements, Product Development ; Mechanics
• Term: from 2019 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 174223256

The aim of the transfer project is an improved analysis of the thermo-elastic behaviour of current 5-axis machine tools. A simulation technology developed at IWM will be used for this purpose. It is transfered from the simple axis units previously investigated to complex turn-and-swivel units. The simulation technology is used in the selection and design process of typical measures that improve the thermal behaviour. This is done using the turn-and-swivel table of a current machine of the application partner DECKEL MAHO.
