Plastic Components

Additive Verfahren besitzen das Potenzial den durch die Globalisierung und Digitalisierung getriebenen Trend hin zur Individualisierung und kürzeren Produktlebenszyklen wirtschaftlich zu adressieren. Insbesondere im Bereich der Mobilität ergeben sich hierbei aufgrund der hohen Volatilität besondere Herausforderungen. Um diese zu bewältigen, wird hier ein hochflexibles Anlagenkonzept zur additiv-subtraktiven Fertigung hochfunktionaler Kunststoffbauteile mit Inline-Prozessregelung vorgestellt.   Additive processes have the potential to address the trend towards individualization and shorter product life cycles driven by globalization and digitization. Particularly in the area of mobility, special challenges arise due to the high volatility. To overcome these, a highly flexible system concept for the additive-subtractive production of highly functional plastic components with inline process control is presented here.

Modular Structures

Environmental issues require a new manufacturing paradigm because the current mass production and mass consumption paradigm inevitably cause them. We have already proposed a new manufacturing paradigm called the “Post Mass Production Paradigm (PMPP)” that advocates sustainable production by decoupling economic growth from material and energy consumption. To realize PMPP, appropriate planning of a product life cycle (design of life cycle) is indispensable in addition to the traditional environmental conscious design methodologies. For supporting the design of a life cycle, this paper proposes a life-cycle simulation system that consists of a life-cycle simulator, an optimizer, a model editor, and knowledge bases. The simulation system evaluates product life cycles from an integrated view of environmental consciousness and economic profitability and optimizes the life cycles. A case study with the simulation system illustrates that the environmental impacts can be reduced drastically without decreasing corporate profits by appropriately combining maintenance, reuse and recycling, and by taking into consideration that optimized modular structures differ according to life-cycle options.

Recent Developments

It is widely accepted that fluctuations in market demands and product life cycles are often unpredictable. Based on these uncertainties, companies cannot calculate with constant demands. Manufacturers are also confronted with quality fluctuations in semi-finished parts that lead to various product qualities. This paper identifies the most relevant uncertainties for companies and gives answers how manufacturers can deal with these problems. It also shows recent developments in the field of flexible forming using servo press technology. Hereby the focus is set on 3D Servo Presses, providing various options for accomplishing uncertainties.

Barriers To Communication

In Zeiten der Globalisierung sowie kürzer werdender Produktlebenszyklen mit zunehmender Dynamik sehen sich Automobilhersteller immer mehr dem Druck ausgesetzt, schnelle Anpassungen und Änderungen in sämtlichen Planungsphasen umzusetzen [1]. Infolgedessen entstehen hochkomplexe, teilweise unübersichtliche Planungssysteme, die lediglich von Experten bedienbar sind. Das erschwert eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen Planung und Mitarbeitern des Shopfloor; Änderungen nach dem Produktionsstart (SOP) werden nur in seltenen Fällen an die Planung zurückgespielt. Der Fachbeitrag beschreibt ein intuitives Bedienkonzept, um bei dieser Kommunikationshemmschwelle Abhilfe zu schaffen. Dabei wurde insbesondere der Einsatz von Consumertechnik im industriellen Umfeld überprüft. Potentiale für zukünftige Entwicklungen werden aufgezeigt.   In the wake of globalization and shorter product life cycles, automobile companies are forced to adapt more quickly to challenges and to allow changes in early planning phases. To cope with these requirements, the manufacturers introduced highly complex and partially confusing planning systems, which can only be operated by experienced experts, thus making communication between shopfloor and planning more difficult. Changes occurring after start of production (SOP) are only returned to the planning department to some extent. To overcome existing barriers to communication, intuitive operating options, mainly from consumer technology, shall be examined.
