This paper focuses on a cost-effective manufacturing of large frame parts for aerospace industries with an industrial robot. The main challenge is the low stiffness of a serial kinematic, resulting in positioning errors ...

This paper investigates process-induced variations of the open-circuit voltage (Voc) using voltage-dependent quantum efficiency measurements. By means of device modelling we show that this method is able to explain the Voc ...

Clamping errors in workpiece positioning decrease the production outcome of machine tools by causing rejects. An automated monitoring of these failures does not take place in practice, due to limited installation space for ...

Several research projects deal with the development of sensory machine components for process monitoring. Especially those components, which are closely located to the process, show acceptable sensitivities to process loads ...

A conventional spindle slide of a milling center is enhanced to a force "feeling" component for process monitoring and control tasks. The feeling ability is realized by integrating strain gauges in notches machined into ...
