Am Institut für Umformtechnik und Umformmaschinen der Leibniz Universität Hannover wird zurzeit an einer neuartigen Antriebslösung für Servopressen gearbeitet, welche die Vorteile von Servopressen und Exzenterpressen mit Schwungradantrieb vereint. Ziel ist, sowohl bei der Anschaffung als auch im Betrieb Kosten einzusparen. Für die Ansteuerung der Antriebsmotoren wurde ein spezielles Regelkonzept erarbeitet, das sich deutlich von bestehenden Regelungssystemen heutiger Servopressen abgrenzt.   At the Institute of Forming Technology and Machines (Leibniz Universität Hannover), a new drive concept for servo presses is being developed which combines the advantages of servo presses with a high dynamic powertrain and flywheel based eccentric presses. This is intended to save acquisition and operating costs. To control the drive engines, a special control concept has been developed which is completely different from control systems of modern servo presses.

The servo press technology is used in industrial production for innovative and economic metal forming. The path-time-characteristic of the ram of servo presses can be adapted to individual requirements of various forming processes. To achieve a high dynamic, the rotary inertia of the drive train should be as low as possible. Thus, a flywheel is not suitable to provide the energy required for both, the forming process as well as the ram kinematic. Hence the eccentric shaft is driven by the electric motor only. As a consequence, the press force has to be provided completely via the torque of the servomotor. High investment costs resulting from the required size of the drive components is a challenge to be conquered. This pushes the costs for the drive components.Another challenge is the unbalanced power consumption of the servomotor. Energy-converting and energy-storing systems are essential to compensate the power peaks resulting from the forming process and inertia forces. Nevertheless, these systems are expensive and reduce the energy efficiency of the press. Facing these challenges, a novel and innovative drive concept for eccentric presses is being developed at the Institute of Forming Technology and Machines (IFUM). These drive concept base on mechanical and electrical power split and can possibly eliminate any disadvantages of conventionally servo presses. The function, the control concept and first steps of the realization of the power-split press drive are presented in this paper.

This contribution presents a new force control concept for industrial six-degree of freedom (DOF) manipulators, which uses a Hexa platform that provides an active environmental stiffness for all six DOFs. The paper focuses on the Hexa platform and is split into two essential parts: (i) parallel platform construction, and (ii) application of force control with industrial manipulators using a six-DOF environmental stiffness. This mechatronic solution almost gives one hundred percent robustness for stiffness changes in the environment, what guaranties a significant shortening of execution time.

The article describes the microprocessor system for various digital signal processing algorithms testing. The development of electric drive control systems is carried out with the usage of modeling systems such as, MATLAB/Simulink. Modern digital control systems are based on specialized digital signal microcontrollers. The present market offers evaluation boards, for example STM32F4DISCOVERY, which enables to connect a microcontroller to a personal computer. It makes possible to use the microcontroller as a part of the mathematical model of the control system. However, the designing of the control system simulation model and the program for the microprocessor is carried out in different programming environments. Thus, the software and hardware solution for testing programs for the microprocessor, which is a part of the control system, is relevant. This article deals with the designing of the modeling method in which the prototype program for the microprocessor is debugged as a part of the electric drive control system simulation model.

The powertrain efficiency deeply affects the performance of off-road vehicles like wheel loaders in terms of fuel economy, load capability, smooth control, etc. The hydrostatic transmission (HST) systems have been widely adopted in off-road vehicles for providing large power density and continuous variable control, yet using relatively low efficiency hydraulic components. This paper presents a hydrostatic-mechanical power split transmission (PST) solution for a 10-ton wheel loader for improving the fuel economy of a wheel loader. A directly-engine-coupled HST solution for the same wheel loader is also presented for comparison. This work introduced a sizing approach for both PST and HST, which helps to make proper selections of key powertrain components. Furthermore, this work also presented a multi-domain modeling approach for the powertrain of a wheel loader, that integrates the modeling of internal combustion (IC) engine, hydraulic systems, mechanical transmission, vehicle(wheel) dynamics, and relevant control systems. In this modeling, an engine torque evaluation method with a throttle position control system was developed to describe the engine dynamics; a method to express the hydraulic loss of the axial piston hydraulic pump/motor was developed for modeling the hydraulic transmission; and a vehicle velocity control system was developed based on altering the displacement of a hydraulic unit. Two powertrain models were developed, respectively, for the PST and HST systems of a wheel loader using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation on a predefined wheel loader drive cycle was conducted on both powertrain models to evaluate and compare the performance of wheel loader using different systems, including vehicle velocity, hydraulic displacement control, hydraulic torque, powertrain efficiency, and engine power consumption. The simulation results indicate that the vehicle velocity controller developed functions well for both the PST and HST systems; a wheel loader using the proposed PST solution can overall save about 8% energy consumption compared using an HST solution in one drive cycle. The sizing method and simulation models developed in this work should facilitate the development of the powertrains for wheel loaders and other wheeled heavy vehicles.
